The GreenWave Podcast by Synergy International Episode 77: Europe’s Missing Electricity Motorways

Join SYNI, your above replacement-value hostess, for Episode 77 titled “Europe’s Missing Electricity Motorways.” Europe has reached the point where the clean energy argument is moving from targets to wires. The European Commission says the continent needs around €584bn of investment in electricity grids by 2030. That figure should stop anyone in the energy market mid-coffee, because it tells us something blunt: Europe has built renewable generation faster than the infrastructure needed to move the power, and the cost of that delay is now landing in consumer bills, curtailment payments, grid congestion, industrial uncertainty and a growing queue of projects waiting for a connection. Europe wants clean, cheap, secure industrial power. Those goals can sit together only if the grid is treated as the central asset of the transition. The next decade will show who understood the electricity economy properly. Countries that build the wires will attract the factories, the data centres, the electrified industry and the long-term offtake. Enjoy!
