On 7 October 2024, CEN and CENELEC co-hosted an extraordinary event on Workstream 9 of the High-Level Forum on Standardization (HLF), dedicated to Green Electricity Systems. The event was co-organized together with T&D Europe, VDE and GIMELEC, and took place at the CEN and CENELEC Management Centre in Brussels. Twenty-one stakeholders from the diverse EU electrical ecosystem participated and gave an overview of the discussions they had during the WS9 sessions.
Representatives from Member States, the European Commission, European Standardization Organizations (ESOs), grid operators, equipment manufacturers, and many others discussed the need for a stable and flexible electricity system that requires all stakeholders’ involvement, listening to each other and respecting individual as well as common needs.
The main recommendations from WS9 are the following:
Specific to the Green Electricity System workstream:
- Contribute to European Electricity Sovereignty
- Generate a Global Electricity System Flexibility for All
- Ensure Stability of the Electricity System
- Get a Greener Electricity System
- Foster Energy Efficiency at System Level
More horizontal topics that are critical for WS9 members:
- Improvement & Simplification of Processes
- Inclusiveness to Provide Benefits for All
The programme included keynote speeches as well as multiple roundtable discussions. The materials and recording of the event can be found on our website.
