Third Industrial Revolution Consulting Group
Therefore, in planning the deployment of the Energy Internet in Luxembourg, consideration
should be applied for resiliency mitigation as a foundational component of engineering design
principles, emergency response planning, and the formation of new approaches to electricity
production and supply. Indeed, resiliency is inherently embedded in the considerations that
are found in the subsequent proposals, particularly as it relates to increased integration of
Luxembourg’s bulk power systems with neighboring countries, as well as the adoption of
distributed technologies such as microgrids and energy storage, and the application of
experimental distributed grid clusters.
PROPOSALS
Enabling the Energy Transition in Luxembourg
The Energy Working Group proposed ten measures to further the transition to a TIR-compliant
energy system. As shown in Table 3, the actions developed by the Working Group represent a
broad range of measures. The shaded sections highlight our recommended subset of priority
actions (within the next 10-15 years) in which Luxembourg can, and should, take a leadership
role. These priority actions represent prerequisites for many of the other actions, some of
which will largely be directed by initiatives and influences occurring outside of Luxembourg’s
control and/or jurisdiction (such as global technology innovations).
Table 3: Energy WG Proposed Actions
Action
1. Promotion of renewable
energy through the adaptation
of the legal framework and
establishment of simplified
procedures
2. Promotion of renewable
energy, self-generation, and e-
mobility through the
adaptation of funding
programs and/or taxation
schemes
Why Action Is Needed to Support TIR
Remove legal barriers. Enable technological evolution and
competitiveness. Simplify permit procedures. Simplify grid
integration procedures. Allow access to biomass raw
materials. Adapt land resource management procedures.
Requires renewable energy system strategy.
Enable investment in medium/large-scale renewable
energy systems. Adapt tariffs to new market conditions.
Establish tax/funding schemes to promote e-mobility.
Direct funding for establishment of pilot clusters.
