Electricity Interconnections has become a prominent issue in the news, being even considered sometimes as a panacea to the imperfections of the European electricity market. This roundtable is devoted to electricity interconnections in Europe, their current state and projects. Speakers will attempt to answer the following questions :
- What : how to develop a sustainable grid from the existing pieces, with an optimum use of existing generation capacity as well as existing grids ? What is the role of interconnections in this picture ?
- How : how are existing interconnections exploited, governed, and how can their exploitation be improved ? Does EU need more and new interconnections, and if so, where and why ?
