Grids Package Position Paper

Grids Package Position Paper

The Grids Package needs to prioritise planning, digitalisation and industrialisation.

The upcoming European Grids Package is crucial to the success of the Clean Industrial Deal. The strategy for dramatically improving Europe’s global competitiveness depends on getting decarbonisation right and ensuring a just transition, while also strengthening resilience.

“As a strategic net-zero industry, we are looking for an integrated policy framework that addresses the entire system – from local, national to European level, and from generation to demand – to deliver benefit for all stakeholders. Therefore, the Grids Package needs to be compatible with other ongoing and upcoming policies, such as the Affordable Energy Action Plan, the Electrification Action Plan, the Strategic Roadmap for AI and Digitalisation, and the revision of the EU Public Procurement Framework”, said Diederik Peereboom, Secretary General of T&D Europe.

In its position paper, T&D Europe sets out its expectations around the three main pillars, planning, digitalisation and industrialisation.
