Unlocking the Grid: How Tech and Local Planning Can Solve Europe’s Capacity Crisis.
As Europe accelerates electrification, its aging power grids face severe capacity bottlenecks, leading to connection queues, renewable curtailment, and regional price shocks.
Resolving this grid crisis requires shifting away from slow, reactive infrastructure expansion toward proactive strategic planning and local solutions. By combining digital smartgrid tools, localized demand flexibility, and integrated Local Energy Action Plans (LEAPs), energy systems can unlock “hidden” grid capacity, optimize current assets, and build regional resilience. The COPPER project is preparing European municipalities to coordinate green locally powered cities. Meet the stakeholders and introduce your company’s technology as part of the solution.
