Grid congestion and permitting are nearly always cited as the main culprits to the expansion of clean energy on our power system.Earlier this year, German energy company E.ON and Afry Management Consulting co-authored a report about how to tackle the tricky yet vital problem of infrastructure buildout to support the energy transition.In this episode of Energy Enablers, we discuss why the issue has reached where it is today—a bottleneck to decarbonisation—and the best next steps. David is joined by Thomas Boermans of E.ON and Helge Barlen from Afry.Enjoy the conversation!For the best possible audio experience, listen to Energy Enablers in the FORESIGHT app. This requires a membership to FORESIGHT Climate & Energy.
