Securing the grid: Transmission’s role in the energy transition - CRU Group

As the global energy transition accelerates, transmission grids are under mounting pressure to deliver more capacity, greater stability, and secure supply. This webinar explores how growing power consumption, from traditional demand, renewables and datacentres, is reshaping grid demands, driving HV cable investment, and creating both opportunities and risks for manufacturers and system operators.

• How much will power consumption increase, and what role will renewables and datacentres play? • What changes are coming to the power generation mix, and how will they impact grid stability? • How fast will transmission and distribution infrastructure need to expand?

• Where will demand for insulated HV and EHV cables be strongest, and which technologies will lead? • Can Europe’s supply chain keep up, or will China’s overcapacity reshape global markets? • What are the key risks and upside opportunities for cable producers, TSOs, and policymakers?
