A control room to accelerate the energy transition

The energy transition is proceeding at an increasingly rapid pace, driven by the development of renewable energy plants. However, this acceleration encounters 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 aims to constructively and technically discuss 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 leap in quality in shared planning are needed.
