The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources and the electrification of various sectors. Central to this transition is the modernisation of grid infrastructure, which serves as the backbone of our energy infrastructure. In 2024, global energy demand surged by 2.2%, nearly twice the recent average, highlighting the urgent need for resilient and efficient grid systems.
Emerging and developing economies accounted for over 80% of this increase in energy demand, emphasising the importance of grid expansion and enhancement in these regions. As electricity demand is expected to rise at a faster rate over the next three years, growing by an average of 3.4% annually through 2026, the pressure on existing grid infrastructure will intensify.
The integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, introduces complexities due to their intermittent nature. To address these challenges, innovative technologies are essential. Enertechnos’ Capacitive Transfer System (CTS) offers a solution by enhancing transmission efficiency and reducing power delivery losses. Implementing such technologies can improve grid resilience and accommodate the growing share of renewable energy.
Looking ahead, the electrical grid market is projected to grow significantly, underscoring the critical importance of continued investment and innovation in grid infrastructure to support the evolving energy landscape. By investing in infrastructure and adopting advanced technologies like CTS, we can build a more efficient, reliable and resilient grid capable of meeting the demands of the 21st century.
