EUROPEAN GRID CONFERENCE European Parliament
Brussels:
Grid Infrastructure: Super, Smart or SuperSmart?
by Konstantin Staschus, Ph.D. 10 November 2011 Secretary-General of ENTSO-E [email protected]
Key activities set out in Regulation 714/2009 (on cross-border electricity trade, part of the 3rd IEM Package) • Deliver network codes binding to all network users (through ‘Comitology’) • Deliver network plans European / regional view of system needs (“TYNDP”) • Deliver crucial aspects of market integration (“market coupling”) • R&D Plan (fully included in EEGI – European Electricity Grid Initiative, part of the SET Plan)
Through its members deliver the infrastructure to: • enable markets to function, • secure energy supply, • meet climate change objectives through connecting RES
ENTSO-E has significant role in delivering European energy and climate change objectives
41 TSOs from 34 countries 530 million people, 910 GW gen., 300 000 km transm.

ENTSO-E R&D Plan: Research and innovation clusters Smart grids and cooperation with DSOs play a major part in the R&D Plan, partly because of the balancing challenge

Public acceptance: substantial barrier to grid investment

• TYNDP 2010 identified significant grid investment need • However: important barriers to grid investment:
Long permitting procedures Inadequate regulatory framework (access to capital markets) Public opposition to transmission infrastructure
• TSOs appreciate very much: The now widespread political realization how important
the grid is for RES and GHG reduction goals The support from RES initiatives such as RGI
EC’s 19 Oct draft infrastructure regulations are to streamline permitting • ... and to improve the regulatory framework for investments • Cost-benefit analyses for projects/for the system will play an even bigger role • This also brings chances to improve public acceptance

Summary
• EU policies on security of supply, market, and RES integration call for massive development of transmission grids, both between and within countries. • ENTSO-E’s first TYNDP was a timely initiative that enabled the policy debate. • Seamless integration of electricity highways into the 400 kV grids demands that TSOs
operate them and have strong ownership stakes. • Permitting and public acceptance is the key issue; without radical changes policy
objectives will not be met. • A huge financial effort requires new financing tools and regulatory stability. • Smart grid solutions and supergrid/Electricity Highways solutions will be needed to
make the future system work ENTSO-E R&D Plan, European Electricity Grid Initiative! Implementation is key to reaching the 20/20/20 goals and beyond.
ENTSO-E works to prepare the future power system associated with increasing variable RES generation, increasing need for demand response, increasing energy efficiency and steeply decreasing CO2 emissions.
