The need to deliver reliable and affordable electricity whilst addressing climate change is driving dramatic transformations of power systems globally.
Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) are key players in electricity systems. With safety and reliability in the foreground, their main responsibility is to ensure that the grid remains stable at all times so as to safeguard consumer’s security of supply. Spanning all continents and a range of regulatory and national contexts, this brief reviews the common themes, the differences and the dilemmas transmission companies experience and plan for their energy transitions.
In collaboration with the World Energy Council (WEC) we conducted interviews with CEOs and senior leaders from 37 Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs).
Listen to this 16 minute discussion between Otto Jager (CFO TenneT) Martin Young (Senior Director, World Energy Council) and Paul Nillesen (Partner, Strategy& Netherlands) about the future of TSOs/ISOs in the Energy Transition. Please reach out to us if you would like to step into a detailed discussion.
"Energy system transformation means that transmission companies need to be shapers of the energy ecosystem and its myriad community of stakeholders as well as being providers and operators of physical infrastructure."
