In October 2023 we first released the E.DSO Technology Radar to support DSOs in seizing the opportunities offered by emerging technologies and preparing for the challenges arising from the rapid transformation of the energy and IT sectors. Today, we are glad to announce the publication of the seventh Radar edition, updating the factsheets of five key technologies that will impact the future of DSOs across the EU: Solid electrolyte batteries, Low-voltage inertia, Innovative EV charging, Onshore power supply, and Microgrids. The factsheets highlight the most promising use cases and implementation projects for the DSO industry.
The seventh edition arrives to close the year with a redesigned interface, with an updated positioning of the dots based on expected DSO impact across Europe, the inclusion of new technologies and a refreshed colour code with circled dots highlighting technologies with higher maturity.

The Technology Radar’s ambition is to evaluate technological topics that have a potential impact on DSOs and their ecosystem (public authorities, suppliers, customers, and employees).
The objectives are:
- Early identification of new technologies, technological trends and potential disruptions.
- Increased awareness of the opportunities and threats associated with emerging technological developments.
- Stimulation of innovation by combining technology reports with business potential assessment.
A dedicated Task Force organised within the E.DSO Technology & Knowledge Sharing Committee, counting on high-level experts from a large set of European DSOs, was set up to produce the Technology Radar.
The members of the Task Force are:
- Co-convenors: Pierre Mallet and Anne-Laure Popelin (Enedis).
- Members: Alessandro Cirocco (Unareti), Angeliki Gialketsi (HEDNO), Antonio Castellanos (Enel Grids), Aris Baumgarts (Sadales Tīkls), Aris Dandens (Sadales Tīkls), Diego Raggini (Unareti), Dimitrios Selimis (HEDNO), Enrique Garcia (i-DE), Ewa Mataczynska (PGE Dystrybucja), Gerald Käferle (Netz NÖ), Jan Kůla (ČEZ Distribuce), Mariano Gaudó (UFD), Mark den Brok (Stedin), Nuran Martin (Stedin), Peteris Lusis (Sadales tīkls), Philippe Daguzan (Enedis), Raquel Gómez Martín (E-REDES), Rene Kuczkowski (Enea Operator), Samuele Giovannetti (Enel Grids), Sergii Tankevych (DTEK), Thomas Börmans (E.ON), Thomas Buisseret (ORES), Wouter van den Akker (Alliander).
