PANEL DISCUSSION:

Energy Infrastructure: Creating a transition-ready network: Construction, connection and management

As governments enact climate-friendly policies, electric grids need to be decarbonised, by using renewable-energy sources. Despite its urgency, redesigning electric grids is both a political and technological challenge. How can such a revolution happen?

  • Do we need to start over, or can existing regulation be adapted to meet the needs of a distributed, renewable energy system? 
  • The commercial, technical and regulatory dynamics of integrating renewables into the power system
  • Changing Ireland’s energy infrastructure: What would private electricity wires mean for Ireland’s energy system?
