The Imperative for Transformation: Grid Reliability & Energy Affordability

The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (Entsoe)

October 04, 2013

• Major Capacity outage during times of high variable generation would pose “a severe risk for the system to collapse.”

• The reduction in fault levels weakens the overall strength of the network resulting in quality of supply issues such as large voltage steps, harmonics and flicker

Energy Affordability

• German Residential Electricity Price: 40c/kWh and rising

• Spain: $25.5B Euro deficit since renewable subsidies were not recovered through rates because of price cap
