What the source says
IEA analysis estimates that dynamic ratings, topology optimisation and advanced power-flow control could allow up to 330 GW of additional generation, storage and demand to connect to existing networks without reinforcement.
Checked: the figure 330 GW is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
