Talk of session: Making Grid-Constrained Multi-Asset Sites Work

Across Europe, there are ports, logistics hubs, industrial parks and campuses electrifying faster than grid capacity can be expanded. Shared connections, hybrid assets and active energy management are no longer optional -they are essential tools needed to stay connected, compliant and competitive. Well-designed industrial hubs and clusters can also strengthen Europe's resilience and competitiveness, but only if they are organized in a way that preserves a company's operational autonomy and avoids new system vulnerabilities or unnecessary complexity. This session explores how grid-constrained multi-asset sites are designed and operated in practice. Speakers will show how solar systems, battery storage systems, EV charging and flexible loads can be coordinated despite limited connections. They will also explain how DSOs interact with these sites and how energy hubs can deliver measurable grid relief while maintaining smooth operation.
