How can we shape an energy transition that is not only ambitious, but also financially viable and quickly implementable? Bayernwerk and E‑Bridge address exactly this question in our new contribution to emw, presenting a toolbox of 11 measures that directly tackle the biggest challenges.

Key insights:

• Efficiency and affordability are becoming the central success factors for the next stage of the energy transition.
• A toolbox containing 11 prioritized measures offers high potential for reducing grid expansion, connection, and redispatch costs.
• New connection models such as “feed-in socket,” overbuilding, and FCA accelerate grid connection processes and ease investment needs.
• Grid-supporting battery storage can resolve bottlenecks in a targeted manner and replace expansion measures.
• Dynamic grid planning, grid transparency, and locational signals strengthen system-oriented steering of new installations.
• Many tools require regulatory adjustments to unlock their full potential.
• The stress test shows: The toolbox is robust against political and technical scenario changes.
