21 INSIGHT | Focus On Raising awareness about how building new power supply lines and equipment makes up an essential part of the shift to zero emissions energy production and the fight against climate change can add important input to these discussions. Modernization of the grid is also needed to incorporate greater intelligence for smart grid formats and to prepare for increasing electrification requirements in transport and in homes. Grids have to shift from one-way energy flow – from utility to consumer, to two-way energy traffic related to residential solar panels and other systems which will see energy flowing both ways. Further investments will be needed in smart grids that are able to measure, monitor and regulate energy flaws. Enhancements to electricity grids must also consider their vulnerability to extreme weather. In the U.S. much of the current infrastructure is above ground, and is now contending with heavier rainfall, higher temperatures and more severe events, leading to more frequent disruptions. Prysmian Group is working with its partners in the U.S. and around the world to help reinforce electricity grids and prepare them for the energy transition by providing robust, sustainable and innovative cable technologies that make renewable energy part of our daily lives by bringing it to homes, factories and industries INTELLIGENCE AND RESILIENCE New technologies such as predictive maintenance systems give utilities real-time control of grid power status, enabling them to quickly isolate and fix problems, avoiding outages. 584 €B Investment in the electricity grid between 2020 and 2030 European Commission's Clean Energy Package An initiative which aims to modernize and secure EU's electricity grids GRID HARDENING IN THE EU Advanced technologies deployed: \ Smart grids \ Energy storage systems \ Digital control systems
