| On 29 March, with more than 70 participants, E.DSO held the 4th edition of its Projects in the Spotlight Event focusing on the role played by Distribution System Operators (DSOs) as facilitators of energy system integration.
The decarbonisation of the European economy pivots around the electrification of traditionally high-emitting sectors, calling for a coordinated planning and operation of infrastructures, smarter interconnections, and strong consumer empowerment. As Richard Vidlička, Chair of the Innovation and Research Committee of E.DSO, stressed in his welcome address “EU projects maximise the impact of new technologies towards the digitalisation, resilience and energy efficiency at the core of the energy system evolution.”
The urgency to accelerate sector-coupling amidst the current climate crisis and geo-political tensions was further underlined by Zoe de Linde, Deputy Head of Unit at DG CNECT, in her keynote opening. The Digitalisation of Energy Action Plan has set a common European strategy to enhance sector interconnectivity and information exchange.
