It is poised to play an increasingly vital role in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. With approximately 70% of greenho use gas emissions stemming from energy used by industrial\, commercial\, i nstitutional\, residential\, and transportation sectors\, decarbonizing th eir energy supply is essential. Elevating electrification - by shifting fr om fossil fuels to electricity - emerges as a key strategy\, exemplified b y electric vehicles\, energy-efficient buildings powered by renewables\, a nd industrial process changes.\n\nTo meet climate goals\, the share of ele ctricity in final energy consumption must rise from 20-25% today to 50-60% by 2050. This transition requires integrating large-scale variable renewa ble energy sources into resilient grids\, plus fundamentally transforming system design\, planning\, and operation. The short timeline presents sign ificant challenges demanding rapid investments\, increased intelligence\, and enhanced flexibility. The role of metrology for enhancing observabilit y with sufficient accuracy at the distribution grid and coordination betwe en Transmission and Distribution System Operators (TSO/DSO) will be highli ghted. This is a critical aspect of the intensified electrification and ma intaining system resilience.
