currENT Europe

Our Vice-Chair Mark Norton joined an expert panel at @EDSO_eu SIC event today to discuss the need for commitment to action and collaboration to create a #futuregrid in Europe that puts consumers at the centre⚡

A warm to the newest member of currENT! Since 2014, @enertechnos has been focused on a new form of cabling system called Capacitive Transfer System (CTS), for cost-effective transmission and distribution, considering geographical, topographical and political barriers.

Today, at @WindEurope's annual event in Copenhagen, currENT board chair @ChrKjaer will be chairing a session on 'Business models for grid expansion and optimisation' Main topic: How can we expand the grid fast in order to have more renewables?

Thanks to all currENT board members for another productive meeting! Although we are not able to meet in person often, it is inspiring to bring such a group together - working hard to scale up innovation in the electricity grid!

Yesterday, during the second edition of the North Sea Summit, nine European leaders gathered on the Belgian coast to sign the 'Ostend Declaration', further upping their commitments to turn the North Seas into the "powerhouse of Europe". euractiv.com/section/energy…

Powerful electricity grids will be needed to integrate massive amounts of renewables. Efficient use of infrastructure will be needed to hug pylons AND trees. economist.com/leaders/2023/0…

A big welcome to @MetOxTech as a new currENT member!
