Talk of session: Powering the Future of Freight: Integrating Electric HDVs into the Grid

Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) play a vital role in Europe's transport and logistics sector, ensuring the movement of goods and services across the continent. As the transition to electric heavy-duty vehicles (eHDVs) accelerates, integrating these high-energy demand assets into the power system presents both a challenge and an opportunity. The deployment of high-power charging hubs will place unprecedented pressure on the electricity grid, requiring significant investments in grid reinforcement, smart energy management, and cross-sector coordination. At the same time, intelligent charging strategies, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions, and flexible demand management could turn eHDVs into a valuable asset for grid stability. Successfully electrifying HDVs will require close collaboration between charge point operators (CPOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), and vehicle manufacturers to align infrastructure development with evolving market needs. This session, part of the Eurelectric EVision Business Hub, will explore how to address these challenges and seize opportunities to secure a stable and efficient energy transition.

Hybrid solar power plants are an emerging area in the energy sector, combining various technologies to provide more efficient and reliable power generation. With a close look on various case studies of hybrid solar power plants we will demonstrate that these systems are increasingly being used as viable solutions to meet growing energy demands, particularly in regions with variable weather conditions. By integrating solar installations with other energy sources, such as wind power or conventional power plants, a continuous power supply can be ensured, even when solar radiation fluctuates.
