E.DSO acts as a policy platform between the power distribution business in Europe and stakeholders as well as institutions at European Union level. It monitors ongoing and new legislative developments, and provides industry advice to policy makers, drawing from the vast pool of our members’ expertise in electricity distribution, innovation, smart grids, and digitalisation. E.DSO lends its expertise to the European Commission through the Energy Consumers Working Group, the Pact for Skills, and the Pact for Engagement, and by contributing to various consultations and meetings.

E.DSO has been relaying the DSOs’ voice on major legislative proposals, including the European Grids Package and the Multiannual Finance Framework. Besides energy policy, it keeps a close eye on initiatives that have a cross-sectoral impact and also affect DSOs, such as sustainability and climate change, data, and digitalisation.
