Upgrading European Grids Could Avail 27TWh of Renewable Energy
A new report from Aurora Energy Research finds that stronger European grid connections could unlock an extra 27TWh of clean power while reducing pollution via grid upgrades. The study, titled "Europe's Energy Trilemma Rewired," examines how grid investment could help address Europe's three central energy priorities: cutting greenhouse gas emissions, securing energy supply chains, and managing costs. The analysis found that congestion within national grids forced operators to curtail between 5% and 10% of renewable output across parts of Europe in 2024. Modeling by Aurora revealed that the figure could double before the end of the decade in Spain, Italy,…
