our good practices
RGI has led sustainable grid development by sharing best practices, promoting transparency, and recognising solutions that harmonise environmental and modernisation goals. Explore our evolving collection of 150+ examples and award-winning practices.
about
In 2011, under the guidance of the RGI, a coalition of Europe’s 29 largest environmental NGOs and TSOs pledged to work in partnership to ensure that the goals of grid modernisation and environmental protection can be achieved side by side.
The ‘European Grid Declaration’ (EGD) was publicly signed in Brussels. In 2012, the EGD has been extended by principles covering transparency and public participation.
Many of the best practice principles and ideas covered by both parts of the EGD are already being considered and tested by RGI Members. Throughout 2012 and 2013 , RGI has collected practical steps taken to make grid development quicker, more socially acceptable, and increasingly environmentally sound.
