RGI mini-workshop to share best practices: “Permitting, consultation and environmental protection for offshore transmission grids”

Event

Topic

Offshore Energy & Nature

Dimension

Energy & Nature
Calendar 22 January 2019
Location Dunkirk

Organised by RGI

Marine renewables are expected to represent a significant share of Europe’s future renewable energy deployment. Guided by European regulation and the ambition to develop the European Internal Energy Market, grid developers are also increasing the number of submarine interconnectors. Together with experts, we want to discuss what we already do well and what we need to improve with regard to nature protection and stakeholder involvement in the marine environment.

Over the last years, RGI has been active in sharing knowledge and experiences in this field in order to make sure that offshore grids will be deployed in an environmentally safe way – while ensuring all stakeholders have proper opportunities for input (more info here).

Together with RTE, we would like to continue the identification and sharing of good practices for developing offshore grids and therefore invite you to our mini-workshop “Best practice approaches to permitting, coordination and environmental protection for marine transmission grids” in Dunkirk on 22 January. Besides input presentations from project developers and NGOs, we will facilitate discussions on what we have learned from case studies in the last couple of years and where we still have knowledge gaps that need to be closed.

Agenda

  • The multi-use of offshore substations
  • Protection of marine mammals
  • Good practices in consultation
