Europe has a problem!

Europe urgently needs more renewable electricity, but grid connection bottlenecks are slowing progress. What if the solution isn't always building more power lines, but making better use of the ones we already have?

And from Portugal to Spain, this clever approach to renewable energy is already becoming a reality.
