Join a webinar on how Destination Earth (DestinE) is supporting the energy sector on 12 November 2026, 14:00–15:00 CET. Organised by Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI), in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Aarhus University, the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI) and PropheSea, the webinar will present results from activities contracted by ECMWF to demonstrate how the capabilities of DestinE’s digital twins support real-world applications in the energy sector. Register now. 

The energy sector is particularly vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather events. The European Commission’s DestinE initiative can help the sector better prepare for these risks and make better-informed decisions. 

Several activities contracted by ECMWF under DestinE address these challenges by responding to different users’ needs. The Machine Learning Demonstrator Energy Systems, led by DLR, aims to support grid operators and other stakeholders in planning a resilient European energy system. The Pilot Service Dynamic Line Rating, led by RMI, aims to support grid operators in their daily operations amid growing flexibility needs. 

The webinar will bring together experts implementing these activities to present their results and demonstrate their practical value, particularly for grid operators and energy system planners. It also aims to encourage knowledge exchange and highlight how these developments can strengthen climate resilience in Europe’s energy system. 

Alongside representatives of the organising partners, Jörn Hoffmann, ECMWF Team Leader for EU and Global Partnerships, will give an overview of the scope of energy applications under DestinE. Dimitrios Melissaris, Research Engineer at the Department of Research, Technology & Development at IPTO, the Greek TSO, will provide a user’s perspective on these applications.
