Invitation
SUPERGRID 2012
- One Europe, One Grid -
Brussels, 21 March 2012
Supergrid will be the electricity transmission backbone of Europe’s decarbonised power sector, essential to meeting EU energy policy goals by 2050. This pan-European transmission network will facilitate the integration of large-scale renewable energy and the balancing and transportation of electricity. Supergrid is not only a business opportunity for industry but one of the best ways to empower consumers in a more price transparent and intelligent energy system. Innovative and clean technologies are being developed today that deserve leadership in our present and future societies.
The Conference will present an integrated set of proposals to deliver Supergrid, and will tackle a number of key issues, including: -
- Why does Europe need a Supergrid?
- How will the Supergrid be owned and what regulatory framework is required to enable large-scale interconnection in Europe?
- Who will pay for the Supergrid?
- What is currently technically do-able and what is the roadmap towards 2050?
- What are the logistical challenges and the employment opportunities for this integrated network?
We invite you to join the first forum for an open and focused debate on the business case for a European Supergrid towards EU integration.
