A control room to accelerate the energy transition

Energy transition is proceeding with increasing speed, driven by the development of renewable energy plants. However, this acceleration faces a structural obstacle: the national electricity grid, often considered saturated and therefore unable to accommodate new plants. In many territories, especially in the South and in inland areas, rejected applications due to 'lack of available capacity' are multiplying, even when the physical infrastructure is not actually overloaded.
This is where the concept of virtual saturation comes into play. A model that, if not updated, risks slowing down the development of renewables.
This conference was created to discuss constructively and technically how to overcome the constraint of virtual saturation through regulatory, digital and infrastructural solutions.
The goal is to build a more open, transparent and adaptive electrical system, in which the grid is no longer a brake, but an accelerator for the transition. To do this, collaboration between operators, regulatory updates and a qualitative leap in shared planning are needed.
