InnoGrid2020+ - February 2013
On 20-21 February, the second InnoGrid2020+ electricity grid RD&D seminar, jointly organised by ENTSO-E, EDSO for Smart Grids and GRID+, gathered more than 150 industry and member state representatives, researchers and policy makers in Brussels, to discuss the future needs for the European electricity system in order to reach the ambitious EU energy policy targets.
Opening the two-day event, Per-Olof Granström, secretary general of EDSO for Smart Grids, declared that ‘Smart grids are key to achieving the EU energy targets and integrating the internal energy market’, highlighting the many showcased European projects ‘and large scale demonstration projects such as these are crucial for knowledge-sharing, guiding the way forward’.
Distribution and transmission system operators (DSOs and TSOs) presented research, development and demonstration activities, as laid out in the EEGI Roadmap 2013-2022. Transmission and distribution systems are a vital backbone to paving the way towards Europe’s 2050 climate targets as set out in the Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050.
