As the European energy transition moves beyond 2030, the main challenge is no longer the deployment of renewable generation capacity, but its effective integration into the energy system. Higher renewable electricity shares expose daily, seasonal and structural mismatches between supply and demand that cannot be addressed through shortterm flexibility solutions alone.

The transition to renewable energy demands not only sound technical and market conditions, but the active engagement of citizens and the committed alignment of all Member States. The legislation should establish the following boundary conditions: 1. Grid-Stabilising Energy Management As variable renewables grow, maintaining grid stability becomes increasingly complex.

The future EU renewable energy framework should address a key structural challenge: the growing gap between renewable energy deployment targets and the systems capacity to efficiently integrate and use this energy. While renewable energy sources are increasingly cost-competitive, their large-scale integration remains constrained by grid limitations, lack of flexibility and insufficient system optimisation.
