Electric utilities and their regulators around the country are working to identify grid infrastructure needs and implement upgrades in time to meet customer electrification demand. Most utilities are working within existing regulatory processes, while some utilities are working to determine new procedures capable of meeting accelerated electrification timelines. With the Proactive Planning proceeding, New York joins California as an early mover in formalizing a process to support electric grid planning. California similarly has several ongoing rulemaking proceedings tasked with preparing the electric grid for an increase in energy demands, including those specific to transportation electrification.

As electricity demand grows and costs rise, solar and energy storage are essential to building a reliable, secure, and affordable energy system. These technologies already make up the majority of new generation capacity additions in the United States. Combined, solar and storage accounted for nearly 80% of new capacity added to the grid in 2025. The solar and storage industry plays a critical role in ensuring U.S. energy security and serves an increasingly important role in meeting rising demand. At the same time, cybersecurity threats facing the broader energy sector continue to evolve and grow. It is imperative that the systems, networks, devices, and components that make up the solar and storage ecosystem are secure against cybersecurity threats.

As conflict in Iran disrupted global oil and gas supplies, the gas price volatility from this disruption added roughly EUR 13 billion to the EU’s wholesale electricity bill, and this could have been much higher. Fortunately, renewable electricity accounted for around 44% of EU generation, which the EEA estimates has saved the EU approximately €29 billion. To fulfill its potential, electrification needs to form part of a smart and resilient energy system, ensuring renewable electricity can flow where and when it is needed. Achieving this will require scaling up investment in modernising grid networks and relying on an array of flexible options and technology such as energy storage, interconnectors and smart meters for demand-side flexibility.
