Renewables Grid Initiative

RGI_logo

The European power system is responding to energy and climate concerns by increasing the share of renewable energy. In the next years and decades, renewable energy will be the main component of the European power mix.

This European expansion of renewable energy is technically feasible, but only if the necessary steps are implemented. At RGI, we try to aid this process by focussing on:

 

  • Grid development as an essential precondition for substantive renewable energy integration from both decentralised and utility scale installations
  • Building strong coalitions across different sectors in society that work on the necessary transformation to the power sector requires strong coalitions across different sectors in society
