Robotics for the Energy Grid | Key Technologies & Startups

Robotics is emerging as a critical lever for building and operating Europe's energy infrastructure. Solar capacity is set to more than double and wind to grow by 84% by 2030, while 40% of EU grids are already over 40 years old. Europe is adding energy assets faster than traditional labour models can inspect, maintain and operate them. In our latest report, produced together with Future Energy Ventures, we explore why energy robotics is hitting an inflexion point, driven by collapsing component costs, AI advances that let robots see, decide and…

Cybersecurity of energy infrastructure

Cybersecurity of energy infrastructure is becoming a critical topic because our infrastructure is increasingly under attack. Cyber strikes in recent years against the likes of Viasat, British Nuclear and Nordex have spotlighted just how vulnerable this infrastructure is. Moreover, the ongoing move to a decentralised clean energy system only worsens the problem and makes it more urgent.    In this SET report "Cybersecurity of energy infrastructure", we explore why energy infrastructure is becoming more vulnerable and what role technology has to play in solving this critical problem. We highlight three…
