Grid connectivity has emerged as the defining challenge across CEE markets, fundamentally reshaping project economics and development timelines. Curtailment is eroding revenues, connection costs are escalating, and traditional grid access routes are proving inadequate. This session examines the technical and commercial realities facing developers today, exploring how cable pooling, alternative connection routes, and strategic grid engagement can unlock project viability in constrained markets.
• What is the current state of grid capacity and curtailment across CEE markets?
• How does cable pooling work, and what commercial benefits does it offer?
• What are the alternative routes to grid connectivity, and when do they make sense?
• How are recent grid connection rule changes affecting project development?
