The global energy transition is advancing at an unprecedented pace, driven by the rapid expansion of renewable sources such as solar and wind. As these technologies gain prominence, a structural challenge is becoming increasingly clear: how to ensure stability, security, and reliability in a power system dominated by variable generation.

Bilateral agreement targets 3 GW of offshore wind and strengthens Europe’s energy security

A fresh Russian attack struck the city of Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine on Monday night, injuring civilians and causing widespread damage to residential buildings and public infrastructure. The assault also triggered power outages across several districts, increasing concerns over civilian safety during winter conditions.

For years, the global energy transition was driven by a simple metric: how many renewable megawatts could be added to the power system. The rapid expansion of solar and wind energy focused on scale, speed, and cost reduction. But as renewables gain a dominant share in electricity generation, a new and decisive challenge has emerged one that is often invisible to the public: grid security and reliability.
