Electric Grids for Europe’s Energy Independence with Eloi Borgne

How do we power a carbon-neutral Europe when the grid can’t keep up with the energy transition?
From congestion and permitting delays to smart meters, digitalisation, energy data spaces, and renewable energy communities, Eloi Borgne the Junior Policy and Research Officer at the European Liberal Forum and author of Gridlocked: Unleashing European Power, breaks down the most promising solutions for building a flexible, resilient, and future-proof European grid. Together with the host Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social) they look at the political tensions around cross-border connections, the lessons from the Iberian blackout, and what a stronger, more connected Energy Union could mean for Europe’s security.
