Connecting Energies 2023: Training series for European civil society

A Comprehensive Exploration of the European Energy System, Electricity Grids, and Biodiversity Protection

The Renewables Grid Initiative invites members of European civil society organisations to an enlightening three-part training series, Connecting Energies, where we explore the intricate relationship between electricity grids, the energy transition, and biodiversity.

In the first two online sessions, we delve into the role of electricity grids in the energy transition, the role of interconnectors between Member States in delivering the EU’s climate and energy targets, and how policy frameworks can be used to reach climate neutrality.

The final session, held in Berlin, will uncover the critical connection between electricity infrastructure and bird conservation. Participants are invited to apply insights from the previous sessions to the challenge of protecting biodiversity along grid infrastructure and provide input to a shared outcome document to be disseminated publicly.
