Organised by: RGI, Elia and BESTGRID
The Ten-E legislation, regulating projects of common European interest (PCIs), has been in place for more than two years now. The first list of PCIs has been identified and first experiences when implementing the regulation have been gained. Almost for the same time, the project BESTGRID has been running: grid operators have been working with environmental groups and other stakeholders in pilot projects on the ground, testing new approaches and finding innovative ways of cooperation as part of the BESTGRID project.
It was always part of the BESTGRID project idea to generate insights of relevance to future PCIs. While the project will come to an end this autumn, the second list of PCIs is expected to be published by the end of this year. For us, this is the perfect time to draw first conclusions – both regarding the implementation of the Ten-E legislation and the lessons learned in two and a half years BESTGRID.
