How is Europe planning its energy future to keep the lights on and hit climate targets? This video takes you inside the complex world of European grid planning and the massive collaborative effort behind it. Discover how ENTSO-E and ENTSO-G coordinate a continent-wide Ten-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) that maps out cross-border grid expansion projects every two years, aligning with each country’s national plans. Crucially, this process invites broad stakeholder input – from industry experts to environmental groups – ensuring new power lines for renewable energy are built with nature and biodiversity in mind.
