Act fast and Nordic while paving the way for carbon neutrality

The Nordic region is well positioned to meet the carbon neutrality challenge. The Flex4RES summary report sets up a roadmap with the necessary steps for a swift and cost effective transition. The Nordic electricity and heat sectors could be carbon neutral as early as in the 2030s, leading the way towards the decarbonisation of both the other sectors of the economy and the energy systems of other European countries expected to be completed by 2050. To realise these opportunities, however…

Transmission: Improving revenue for renewables

A sustainable future energy system relies on renewable resources. Unfortunately, resources like hydro, solar and wind are often distributed unevenly not only temporally but also geographically and such characteristics bring new challenges. A cross-border energy system through transmission lines is regarded as one of the low-hanging fruits to address the challenges, especially to North-western Europe where power markets are already partially integrated. Countries in this region have distinct energy system profiles and connecting them with transmission lines can lead to…
