One year after the launch of the first two videos in series entitled ‘Need for Grids’, we are delighted to relaunch ‘Grids and the Environment’ and ‘Electrification and Flexibility’, this time translated into 3 European languages. Each video provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the main aspects of a particular grid-related topic and we hope that these will serve as useful educational tools for TSOs and NGOs when engaging with the public.
Video material can be a powerful tool to reframe complex topics and provide an engaging source of information, which is widely-accessible to specialist and non-specialist audiences alike. With this in mind, in 2020 RGI produced these first two videos on ‘Grids and the Environment’ and ‘Electrification and Flexibility’. One year later, with the support of Members from across Europe, we translated the first two videos in the ‘Need for Grids’ series, into German, Italian and French.
You can find some videos below, but to see all videos in all languages, head to the video section of the Resource Centre here.
We hope that these videos will serve as useful communication materials for RGI Members and other stakeholders active or interested in the energy system. If you wish to use them for communication or education purposes or share them on your social media channels, please do not hesitate to do so. Should you have any questions, please get in touch.
Grids and the Environment
A renewables-based system requires more renewable energy infrastructure and a European grid network in order to transport electricity generated by renewable sources from production to consumption centres.
Where is this infrastructure built and what effects does this have on biodiversity, particularly birds? What solutions and opportunities are available? Which approaches have been taken by European TSOs? Find the answers to all of these questions and more in our video, available in English, Italian and German!
Electrification and Flexibility
Electrification and flexibility are two terms which often come up in discussions about the energy transition. But what do these terms mean? In this video, we delve into what it means to ‘electrify’ sectors which have previously been reliant on fossil fuels, such as transport, and the system flexibility which these transformations enable.
How can we balance supply and demand in a system based on variable renewable sources? What is demand response? What is the role of the grid? And what additional role do electric vehicles play? Find the answers to these questions and more in our video, available in English, French, Italian, and German!
