4. Grids

Grid infrastructure is a key ingredient for a successful energy transition. Grids expansion planning (Indicator 4.1) is a key enabler for renewable energy deployment. To use the grid, grid access regulation is crucial (Indicator 4.2), as are streamlined grid connection procedures (Indicator 4.3). In the future, smart grids (using ICT) will be a key enabler for integrating renewables and balancing the grid (Indicator 4.4).
