With Governments and policy makers across Europe ramping up ambitions for Net Zero and accelerating their plans to get there, this is and will increasingly lead to more deployment of renewable electricity generation, electrification of heat and transport, and increased energy efficiency. It is also very clear that natural gas will be playing a smaller role in the future energy system than it does today.
But what does this mean for the role of gas network operators in the future energy system? Across the research we do at Delta-EE helping gas and electricity network operators, we see a number of significant roles that gas network operators in particular could play, including:
