COMMISSION NOTICE on a guidance on anticipatory investments for developing forward-looking electricity networks

Summary

Europe's electricity grids, largely built decades ago, are struggling to keep pace with the rapid expansion of renewable energy and increasing electrification, causing significant delays for new connections and higher societal costs. To address this, the European Commission has issued guidance on "anticipatory investments," providing recommendations for Member States and system operators on forward-looking network planning, regulatory frameworks, and incentives. This initiative aims to accelerate grid modernization and expansion to efficiently integrate clean energy and new demand, though specific outcomes are yet to be realized as the guidance is implemented.
