The “Good Practice of the Year” award was created to honour an outstanding practice in grid development: one that is innovative and, most importantly, an improvement to existing practices in its field – be it environmental protection, communication and participation or technology and design. The intention of the award is to disseminate the many good practices out there and to inspire future action and innovative thinking. The competition builds upon a European-wide best practice exchange that the Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI) started in 2012.

Since then, RGI has been collecting cases on how to make grid development more transparent, participative and increasingly environmentally sound, so as to contribute to social acceptability and the timely implementation of needed projects. It is our hope that through this award, we can make these good practices accessible to an even wider audience and give them the recognition they deserve.
