Implementing RGI Declarations

Promoting the collaboration between grid operators and NGOs to support the continuous and sustainable development of grid infrastructure

about the topic

‘Implementing RGI Declarations – IRD’ is a framework under which grid operators and NGOs collaborate at national level to support the continuous and sustainable development of the grid infrastructure needed for a successful energy transition.

RGI’s statutes point towards an enhanced collaboration of grid operators and NGOs “on the ground”.

Under the umbrella of IRD, these common ambitions are implemented either in concrete grid development projects or on existing infrastructure. NGOs actively bring in their specific knowledge with regards to nature protection and stakeholder engagement whereby grid operators receive helpful expertise in designing grid development projects. RGI provides comprehensive project management and is additionally in charge of the projects’ documentation and the dissemination of results.
