Joint statement on the key role of distribution grids for a competitive, green and resilient Europe

E.DSO, together with a coalition of 14 European cross-sectoral (energy) associations, collectively calls for putting distribution grids at the center of attention of the European agenda for the next five years.

In the joint statement, the coalition explains that Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are central players that contribute to driving the energy and digital transition on the ground for the benefit of all European citizens, enterprises, and industries. The distribution grids are incorporating an increasing amount of renewables and are becoming more customer driven. DSOs are the key technical enablers of the 42.5% EU’s renewable energy target, as more than 70% of renewables will be connected to the distribution grid by 2030. This will see more than 30 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads and 60 million heat pump units installed by 2030.
