Drivers for grid development Sustainability More renewables far from loads New electricity uses (mobility with electricity, heat pumps...) Competitiveness / Market integration Optimal resources sharing More long distance transeuropean flows Security of Supply continuity of supply of remote/isolated areas Prevent large disturbances Energy Infrastructure Tools needed to guarantee long term development Mihai PAUN Page 4
What are the tools needed for infrastructure development? 1. The EC s Infrastructure Legislation! ü Transmission line permitting in <3 years with one-stop shops ü Transmission regulatory improvements for better financing ü The ENTSO-E TYNDPs with better and better cost-benefit methodologies as the basis for Projects of Common Interest 2. A 2030 and 2050 modular transmission plan for a Electricity Highways system ü A 3-year R&D study with TSOs + broad consortium for the definitive 2050 grid study ü Major changes in electricity generation and use è major changes in transmission ü Need to know soon whether to introduce a higher voltage level, of which kind ü Transmission becomes cheaper and more efficient (less losses, less land needed) at higher voltage 3. And: Public acceptance campaigns by MS governments for Electricity Highways, linking European infrastructure to their daily needs Energy Infrastructure Tools needed to guarantee long term development Mihai PAUN Page 5

TYNDP 2012 Pilot TYNDP based on a bottom up approach given time constraints Main differences with EU 20/20/20 scenario rely in RES objectives, especially in North Sea However all the projects are necessary to meet 20/20/20 objectives Main improvements for TYNDP 2012 Development of a top down scenario based on NREAP Build a comprehensive view of grid development in North Seas RGI Workshop Mihai PAUN 17/10/2011 Page 12
Grid developments in the North Seas For 2020 updated North Seas grid analysis shows that the links identified in the pilot TYNDP are sufficient Grid developments in North Sea First analysis shows that 2030 offshore wind capacities (80 GW) demand new thinking Energy Infrastructure Tools needed to guarantee long term development Mihai PAUN Page 13
Benefits of planning a coordinated and optimised integrated offshore grid - An early example of ENTSO-E s 2030 horizon work Maximising utilisation of the large scale assets required to connect the offshore wind farms Improved security of supply through flexible, controllable routes from offshore wind to demand centres/greater access to renewable generation Increased ability for cross-border trade and balancing/market integration Potential for reduced offshore infrastructure construction costs of about 10% Responsible use of limited natural and manufactured resources Improved standardisation and deliverability by reducing supply chain pressures But also: more complex than usually thought Energy Infrastructure Tools needed to guarantee long term development Mihai PAUN Page 14
Building the necessary infrastructure 3 main problems 1. Permitting and public acceptance Ø Slow and cumbersome permitting procedures the main obstacle for delivering investments Ø Public acceptance cannot be improved by TSOs alone One third of the transmission infrastructure is currently delayed. 2. Legislative implementation Some compatibility among the 27 MS energy policies Some stability in EU legislation - avoid new concepts becoming part of official documents 3. Attractive financing framework Ø real return in line with businesses of similar risk profiles Ø incentives for activities really managed by TSOs Ø legislation and regulation in line with 20 to 50 years assets Energy Infrastructure Tools needed to guarantee long term development Mihai PAUN Page 15

The Concept of Electricity Highways Energy Infrastructure Tools needed to guarantee long term development Mihai PAUN Page 18
e-highway2050 Project Project : Planning for European Electricity Highways to ensure the reliable delivery of renewable electricity and Pan-European market integration. ü The project should develop methods and tools to support the planning of these highways, based on various future power system scenarios, including for back-up and balancing generation and storage capacities, and develop options for a pan-european grid architecture under different scenarios, taking into account benefits, costs and risks for each. It should also address transition planning between now, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050. ü It should in addition clearly identify bottlenecks, needing additional research and development, including through demonstrators and in-situ testing.

Conclusions 1. TYNDP 2012-17% increase in grid needed by 2020 52300 km 2. Europe-wide grid planning for the urgent 10-year needs, and for 2030 and 2050, is important but only one part: Network codes are also needed urgently, and so is the market integration (described in NCs) 3. The new methodologies based on the 3 rd IEM Package TYNDP, NCs provide a solid framework and foundation for further studies and further integration 4.
