CERRE Regulatory Lab: Grid Congestion Management: How to Move Forward?

27 October 2026
13:30
- 16:00
About
Speakers

About

Electricity grids are the backbone of the European energy system, but growing congestion and long connection queues risk slowing electrification, industrial development and the energy transition. Led by CERRE Academic Co-Director Prof. Catherine Banet, the workshop will examine how Europe can improve grid planning, accelerate investment and reform grid-connection procedures. Building on the European Grids Package, the discussion will explore the regulatory and market changes needed to address these challenges.

Bringing together representatives from institutions, academia, civil society organisations and other relevant stakeholders, the Lab will provide a focused space to test ideas, compare perspectives and identify workable policy options.

Please note that this is a private event and attendance is by invitation only.
