Etch webinar: The Future of Energy Transmission
In this webinar, EnergyVille, Flux50 and De Blauwe Cluster invite you to explore how Belgium is preparing its transmission infrastructure for a future built on HVDC and underground cables.
The session introduces Etch (Energy Transmission Competence Hub)—a new initiative conducting cutting-edge research on futureproof electricity networks. HVDC technology will be central to the grid of the future, offering increased capacity, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. But its impact goes beyond technical performance: it will shape the energy system as a whole.
Etch brings together researchers, industry partners, policymakers, and engineers to accelerate the energy transition—combining collaborative research, knowledge-sharing, and training. By integrating HVDC into both offshore and onshore systems, Etch is helping to build resilient, sustainable grids ready for the challenges ahead.
Whether you’re a network operator, technology provider, policy advisor, or cluster member, this session offers a concise and accessible introduction to what HVDC will mean for the Belgian electricity system—and how Etch can support you.
