SDG: 7 – Affordable and clean energy

Why is this topic relevant?

To facilitate the energy transition, we need smart grids that provide insight into the status of the grid. Together with customer demand, these data provide important information to arrive at good predictions of where bottlenecks might arise in our grid in the future. At the same time, we are working with partners on innovative solutions that can accelerate the energy transition.
