The European Commission has unveiled the comprehensive European Grids Package, a sweeping initiative designed to modernize and expand the EU’s energy infrastructure. The package aims to accelerate the transition to clean energy by tackling structural bottlenecks, simplifying permitting procedures (proposing a six-month limit for grid connections for energy storage units above 100 kW), and mandating a single national digital portal for all relevant approvals. The reforms seek to ensure energy flows efficiently across Member States, boosting independence from external energy sources and helping to lower consumer prices.
