Enhancing grid flexibility and resilience is crucial for the successful integration of renewable energy sources, improving grid reliability, and ensuring the stability of the electric power system - particularly for critical infrastructure facilities. Succeeding with this depends on aspects such as technology to secure the integration of renewable energy, and the development of independent, localised grids to support diverse energy needs.

In this webinar, Karsten Uhd Plauborg, Partner at CIP and CEO & founder at Plexar Energy, will present how microgrids can support the current constraints of our energy system, while supporting the grid on frequency balancing, voltage regulation and as build outs. Serving a rising electricity demand with locally produced green power built on a modular, scalable approach that secures resilience, adaptability and decarbonisation.  

Mojtaba Mohaddes, Chief Operating Officer at TransGrid Solutions (Part of Ramboll), will present a new breakthrough technology developed by TGS that will substantially reduce a primary cause of global grid instability, namely having too many different types of power sources and interacting grid controllers added into aging energy infrastructure. The technology will make it easier and safer to add renewable energy to the grid, prevent power outages, and drastically cut costs of developing power systems around the world.  

The pressure to build out the current capacity of the grid is significantly challenged by limited availability of both people and materials as well as huge increases in costs. 

In this webinar, we will explore how strategic contract models can play a pivotal role in overcoming the current capacity constraints faced by grid projects. Understand how various models can provide clarity to suppliers, allowing them to plan ahead, optimise resource allocation, and ensure timely delivery.

Learn how tailored contracts can drive efficiency, streamline project execution, and enhance collaboration among stakeholders, ultimately contributing to a successful project.  

Across the world, energy projects face delays, blockages, or abandonment - not just due to construction challenges, but because of local opposition. Often, local businesses and associations focus more on the perceived risks than on the benefits these projects provide. There is insufficient discussion on making the energy transition not just fast, but also fair, trusted, and unstoppable. It requires collective action to bridge the urban-rural divide, support both small and large businesses, and deliver value across generations. 

In this webinar, Samuel Gardner, Head of Climate Change & Sustainable Development , at Scottish Power will share the pioneering work they have done to formulate a legacy statement for their projects in Scotland to ensure public acceptance and a focus throughout their projects on what is given back to the community.  
 
Christine Lunde Rasmussen, Senior Manager of Societal Impact & Policy at Ramboll, will share lessons learned on how to win (and lose) public support in the green transition. She will explore how public trust can make or break the green shift, what it takes to turn local resistance into lasting collaboration,.  and how we build a vision shared by multiple stakeholders and bring it to life.

Energy developers and major consumers encounter significant challenges in securing access to the electrical grid, impacting the progress of renewable energy projects and demand.   
 
In this webinar, we will delve into the complex landscape of grid access for renewable energy projects as seen from an energy developer’s perspective. We will shed light on the common technical, regulatory, and financial obstacles faced when connecting to the electrical grid and provide best practices to navigate these challenges. 
 
Furthermore, Darek Letkiewicz, Global Spearhead Unit Director at Ramboll, will share his insights into the most pressing challenges and opportunities data centre developers face in terms of their needs for a resilient and efficient energy supply to feed into their facilities.

Grid expansion projects are big and complex and require solid project management skills and experience from other major projects to keep them on time, on budget and in compliance with expectations.   
 
In this webinar, we will explore ways to effectively manage major grid extension projects among industry players. Søren Eg Hansen, Director of projects at Ramboll, has numerous major energy projects under his belt and will share his insights on keeping grid expansion projects on track. Among other things, he will cover the importance of project initiation, learning from similar projects, focus on value and avoiding complexity, risk and cost management focused on cost and progress, and finally collaboration to work as one team.
