Description

This IDC Perspective discusses key takeaways from Enlit Europe 2025. Europe's energy community gathered at this event in Bilbao to focus on turning energy transition ambition into executable delivery for both energy and water utilities. The analysis highlights how grid and network investments, flexibility markets, end-to-end digitalization, and data-driven asset management are being scaled to integrate more renewables, strengthen system and network resilience, and keep services affordable and competitive — with a particular emphasis on cross-border coordination, consumer participation, and the growing role of smart electricity and water metering, storage, EVs, and demand response in balancing a more electrified and resource-constrained economy."The energy transition demands more than innovation; it requires ecosystems where shared data and aligned mindsets redefine what is possible for Europe's energy future. Transformations begin with people, not with technology, and collaboration and culture should become the catalysts for a resilient, sustainable future." — Research Director Gaia Gallotti, IDC Energy Insights
