The backbone of the energy transition is the grid, while storage adds essential flexibility. By enhancing both, we can create a resilient, decarbonized, and cost-effective energy system that benefits society as a whole. By investing in modern infrastructure, we ensure that everyone can enjoy the advantages of a clean and reliable energy supply (and that we achieve global net-zero emissions by 2050).
