Powering Tomorrow: How 50Hertz is Reinventing Grid Balancing for a Renewable Europe
Prospero Events Group
Home of Energy Conferences. Peer-to-peer Conferences for the European Energy Industry since 2007.
Europe’s future power grid isn’t just renewable - it’s intelligent, real-time, and cross-border.
At the forefront of this transformation is 50Hertz Transmission GmbH, the German TSO that serves over 18 million people across northern and eastern Germany. Their work goes beyond simply keeping the lights on, they are pioneering how energy is traded, balanced, and integrated across Europe.
50Hertz's mission? To build a smarter, greener, and more resilient grid that supports a fully renewable energy future.
The Mission: 100% Renewable by 2032
50Hertz is striving for a bold and ambitious goal: ensuring that 100% of the electricity consumed in their region comes from renewable sources by 2032. This isn’t just a commitment to climate change - it’s a comprehensive transformation, powered by cutting-edge digital infrastructure, AI, grid modernization, and cross-border collaboration.
What’s Driving the Change?
~ Cross-Border Trading & Real-Time Balancing
50Hertz is playing a critical role in initiatives like ENTSO-E’s MARI and PICASSO, driving real-time energy balancing and enabling automated power exchanges across European borders. This deep integration is key to unlocking the full potential of renewable energy across the continent.
~ Smart Grid Operations with AI & Predictive Tools
Leveraging AI-driven forecasting and digital twins, 50Hertz is using the latest tools to manage renewable variability, predict grid imbalances, and enhance operational reliability in real time.
~ Green Deal & Fit for 55 Alignment
50Hertz’s strategy is directly aligned with the EU’s climate goals. By optimizing long-term capacity and integrating flexible assets like battery storage, they are actively supporting the EU Green Deal and Fit for 55 packages with real, actionable change.
~ Flexibility = Resilience
As energy systems become more decentralized and weather-dependent, grid stability depends on flexibility. 50Hertz is enhancing its adaptability through frequency control, demand-side response, and dynamic load balancing, ensuring resilience in the face of growing volatility.
Real Voices in the Energy Transition
“You cannot build a renewable Europe without a harmonized, balanced, and well-integrated grid. And that only works if we trade and operate across borders in real time.” Vincent Thevenin, Market Development Expert, 50Hertz Transmission GmbH
