The Royal Academy of Engineering has held the round table " The continuity of the electricity supply in a context of decarbonization " , a high -level meeting that brought together prominent experts from the academic, institutional and business field to discuss one of the great current energy challenges: guarantee a safe and stable electricity supply in the midst of the decarbonization process. Among these experts, said the Professor of Electrical Engineering of the Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville, Antonio Gómez Expósito.

The act, which took place at the headquarters of the Institution, was inaugurated by the president of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Jaime Domínguez Abascal, who welcomed the attendees and highlighted the importance of generating a rigorous dialogue about the technical and regulatory challenges involved in the energy transition.

The session began with a framework of Antonio Gómez Expósito, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Seville, entitled "Electrical networks at the current crossroads . In his speech, Professor Gómez Expósito approached the strategic role of electrical networks in the new energy scenario, marked by the integration of renewable energy, digitalization and the growing demand for flexibility.

Next, a round table moderated by the academic César Dopazo was celebrated, where the future of the electricity supply was analyzed in the face of the commitment to reduce emissions. They participated in the debate:

• Antonio Gómez Expósito, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Seville.

• José Casas, General Director of Institutional Relations and Regulation of Endesa.

• Pedro Machín, President of the Aragon Energy Cluster of Clenar.

• Juan José Romero, expert in energy saving and efficiency.

During the colloquium, the speakers agreed on the need to reinforce energy planning, invest in smart networks and ensure a stable regulatory framework that facilitates investment in clean technologies without compromising the stability of the electrical system.

The day concluded with a few words of closing by Jaime Domínguez Abascal, who stressed the role of engineering in the search for sustainable and resilient solutions for the energy future of Spain.

The event highlighted the complexity of combining sustainability, security and affordability in the energy transition, and served as a meeting point for the exchange of knowledge between science, industry and administration.
