The European Commission and the e-Highway2050 consortium are pleased to invite all interested stakeholders to the presentation and discussion of the final results of the e-Highway2050 project.
When: 3-4 November 2015
Where: Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Rue du Fossé-aux-Loups 47, 1000 Brussels
In its November 2010 Communication “Energy infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond – a blueprint for an integrated European energy network“, the European Commission called for the establishment of a development plan for the electricity highways of the future. Launched in 2012, the e-Highway2050 research project aims at producing a modular plan for the expansion of the European electricity grid up to 2050. This modular plan will help the integration of the European electricity markets. It is also designed to enable the pan-European grid to host large quantities of electricity from renewable energy sources and to transport it over long distances.
To build their network planning module, members of the e-Highway2050 project consortium have sought to identify what the future of Europe’s electricity grid might look like in 2050 and to identify the corresponding needs for electricity highways, taking into consideration potential evolutions of renewable energy generation, technology, socio-economic conditions, environmental conditions, and network governance.
After 40 months of intense work, the project will be delivering its results on 3-4 November 2015. The e-Highway2050 Conference will present the main findings of the project and will offer a forum to discuss future implementation.
