Following the rapid expansion of renewable energy, the focus of the energy transition is now on integrating these sources efficiently into the energy system. This is achieved, among other things, through the use of energy storage systems, the activation of demand response, and solutions for sector coupling—all connected via a cybersecurity-protected, “smart” power grid infrastructure. The ZVEI brings together manufacturers of the technologies necessary for this transformation and gives them a strong voice in political and public debates.
