Advocating for optimised grids - Renewables Grid Initiative

about the topic

With a forward-looking perspective, RGI engages with relevant stakeholders and policymakers to contribute to policy needs and bridge gaps in a manner that effectively addresses multiple crises related to the energy transition.

Central to RGI’s work is a holistic approach, encompassing the necessity for timely expansion and modernisation of the electricity grid, alongside variable renewable energy generation, while considering environmental and social aspects.

Leveraging RGI’s future-oriented, system-level approach and the multifaceted knowledge gained across our activities, we work on contributing to key policy developments in the EU.
