It is clear that the energy transition goes together with the digitalisation of the industry. Accordingly, CEN and CENELEC continue working on breaking down technical barriers that prevent the creation of a single market for energy, the reduction of energy costs and the further deployment of new technologies that can support the energy transition.
In this context, smart grids mark a new development on the path towards greater consumer empowerment and integration of renewable energy sources - wind, solar, biomass, biofuels, geothermal, hydropower, and ocean energy - into the grid and higher energy efficiency, while making a considerable contribution to reducing greenhouse emissions.
Standardization plays a key role due to the involvement of many different sectors along the value chain such as from the generation to the appliances we have at home.
