Energy InfrastructureEnergy Infrastructure
The EU's energy infrastructure is going to be boosted by an investment of almost 1 billion euros. About 84% of this amount should be used to support projects related to electricity and Smart grids. The main advantage of Smart grids is that they allow us to use the existing infrastructure without the need to modernize it or to build new power lines and pipes, which is usually financially heavy. Digitalization of the energy sector gives us the possibility to integrate the latest technological advances such as artificial intelligence, prosumers and energy communities. In the future, we expect an intensive installation of energy storages and a growing number of Number of prosumers will soon be able to sell their surplus energy which will help to increase the total share of green energy in the grid. This is not just a saying, it is a sacred rule, but it is also possible to aggregate the individual prosumers into energy communities reaching a high level of energy independence with minimal reliance on the power grid.
