1. The AI-Energy Paradox Artificial intelligence is increasingly seen as essential for unlocking the potential of the power system, with many stakeholders placing high – sometimes overly optimistic -expectations on its ability to solve complex operational challenges. However, AI itself is energy-intensive, adding further strain to an already constrained power system.  This raises critical questions:   There is also…

Europe’s energy transition now runs on two inseparable tracks: cables in the ground and code in the system. Grids are filling up, flexibility is still fragmented, and control rooms juggle more signals than ever – while many SCADA and EMS platforms still reflect a world of centralised, predictable generation. To keep the lights on in…

Key insights on digital transformation in the energy context The guide address the urgent need for digital transformation to create a reliable, modern energy system. Data, connectivity, analytics, AI, IoT, digital twins, and smart grids are no longer optional. They are strategic enablers of flexibility, resilience, and efficiency. It makes digital transformation unavoidable, and essential…

Europe’s energy landscape is undergoing its most profound transformation in a century. As millions of distributed energy assets come online and electrification accelerates, the challenge is no longer simply generating power – it’s orchestrating a complex, decentralised system that must remain secure, sustainable, and affordable. The digital transformation of system operators Magnus Energy’s latest guide…

This month, we celebrated major milestones in the projects we have been involved in. First, on 28th May, the Flow-Based Intraday Market Coupling went live for the TSOs in the Core region, which encompasses over 20 organisations in 13 European countries. Then, on 13th June, another milestone was completed: the implementation of the Intraday Auctions…

In European energy market integration projects, a crucial aspect is the stability of the IT systems and the continuation of the daily process of capacity calculation and trading. Energy markets must stay afloat at all times. That is why, before every new implementation is brought to production, extensive testing with multiple parties is required. Our…

The anticipated Network Code (NC) on Cybersecurity for the electricity sector has now been published. The NC was adopted by the European Commission in March. This is a big step toward enhancing the cyber resilience of critical energy infrastructure. The network code What’s Next? ENTSO-E and DSO Entity will work on various documents to guide…

The upcoming Network Code on Cyber Security (NCCS) is expected to impact many stakeholders in the energy sector. The exchange of best practices is crucial when it comes to successfully implementing the NCCS. With a new benchmark, Magnus Energy aims to support the sector in assessing the necessary implementation steps for the NCCS. For each…
