How? By shaping smarter grids for your future. E.DSO and its members are committed to taking on the huge challenges associated with realising the Energy Union, built on the EU's ambitious energy, climate, security of supply, jobs and growth objectives. This involves ensuring the reliability and security of Europe's electricity supply to consumers while enabling them to take a more active part in our energy system.
