Neglecting Grids Would Be the Ultimate Power Failure

 


Failures in electricity grids are thankfully rare. But when they strike — as with the March fire that shut down Heathrow Airport, or the Iberian Peninsula blackout that left 50 million people without power in April — they raise a wider question: 

Are our grids adapting fast enough to a world of rising demand, new threats and cleaner power?

US alone will require 57% more transmission infrastructure by 2035. 

Europe needs a third more interconnectors — cables linking the continent’s wholesale electricity markets — than currently planned in order to optimize its grid by 2030.
