The current context

The current context

access to critical power infrastructure
is now key to decarbonisation

Europe’s energy future depends on more than generation — it depends on the grids, transformers, and networks that deliver power reliably.

Europe’s decarbonisation depends on electrification, but electrification needs massive grid equipment expansion.

Renewables only reduce emissions if they can connect, and connection depends on available power equipment.

Clean grids require advanced, reliable power equipment to manage variability and maintain stability.

The new bottleneck

The new bottleneck

Europe’s grid is the new hard ceiling

Transformers, generators and high‑voltage cables are now the binding constraint on growth, electrification and resilience across Europe.

Transformers needed

5.2 million

new transformers needed by 2050

The demand tsunami

The demand tsunami is already here

AI data centres, electrified industry, transport and renewables are all pulling forward orders for the same long‑lead equipment, while policy demands grids move faster than ever.

Grids must move fast or trillions in clean energy and digital infrastructure will not get built.

Has become the bottleneck, not capital or project intent.

Cannot keep pace with compressed timelines.

Our purpose and vision

Our purpose and vision
