Limited electricity import options across over half of the European continent are increasing blackout risks, says Ember in a research report.

According to the company in a release, 55% of Europe’s power system has suboptimal electricity import options, with Spain, Ireland and Finland especially exposed to grid incidents due to minimal cross-border infrastructure.
