The discussion will focus on the strategic role of electric power system components and grid-enhancing technologies in enabling Europe’s clean energy transition, strengthening industrial competitiveness, reinforcing energy security and supporting strategic autonomy. It will also provide an opportunity to exchange on the paper’s key recommendations in the context of ongoing EU discussions on future industrial, energy and research policies, including FP10 and the European Competitiveness Fund.
