ENTSOE’s Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2012: Conclusions for EU Energy Policy
08/05/2012 - Dinner debate, in Brussels. ENTSO-E
Topics:
Global Strategy,
Speaker: Daniel Dobbeni, President of ENTSO-E and CEO of Elia System Operator.
On 1 March, ENTSO-E released its ten-year network development plan (TYNDP) 2012 for public consultation in accordance with Reg. (EC) 714/2009. Investments in grid infrastructure are mainly triggered by EU energy policy objectives: market integration, renewable integration and ensuring the security of supply.
However, the plan finds that one in three investment projects is presently subject to delays jeopardizing the achievement of the above objectives. The reasons for such delays are mainly resulting from lengthy permitting processes and problems with public acceptance.
ENTSO-E therefore considers the Commission’s proposals on fast-tracking of transmission infrastructure projects in its draft Energy Infrastructure Package and in particular the proposal on a one-stop-shop and defined 3-year time lines for permit granting procedures as a crucial step forward to implement the transmission infrastructure Europe needs for 2020 and beyond.
