Friends of the Supergrid, Europe’s largest industrial alliance for electricity interconnections, is delighted to announce that it will enhance and streamline communication on the concept of a European Supergrid by joining forces with the following key projects and groups: the e-Highway2050, the Gridtech project, the Market4RES project the MEDOW project, the North Sea Grid project, the North Sea Transnational grid, NSCOGI and the Supergrid Institute.

All these projects i

nvestigate various technological, financial, regulatory or geographical aspects that would enable the Supergrid. Their results add to the body of knowledge that a pan-European Supergrid will provide stability and security of supply to the European electricity market by the reliable delivery of renewable electricity and market integration.

Friends of the Supergrid will provide a friendly accessible and central dissemination webpageplatform enabling these projects and groups to publish the results of their respective research and recommendations. By increasing access to and visibility of the Supergrid studies and data, the said projects and Friends of the Supergrid will greatly facilitate the work of policy makers, stakeholders and researchers when designing the future European energy policies.

Bringing these projects together will also improve coordination among the different initiatives and will allow a wide range of stakeholders to benefit from a complete picture of the results achieved.

The concrete development of the European Supergrid, essential part of the Energy Union, will be greatly facilitated by this new central platform. FOSG and its partners in this initiative invite other interested projects and studies to join them.
