Modernising Europe's electricity networks
In the adopted report, the Parliament points out that the existing infrastructure is not ready for the rapid growth in consumption or for the variable production of electricity from renewable sources. Up to €584 billion will need to be invested by 2030 to expand the network and adapt it to new requirements.
MEPs are also calling for simplified authorisation processes for new projects and a fairer system of electricity transmission charges. This should better reflect real costs and encourage further infrastructure development.
The report also highlights the need for better coordination between Member States, which MEPs say is key to managing crises. As a warning, they recall the Iberian blackout in April, which showed the vulnerability of the current system.
Parliament considers the modernisation of transmission networks to be a fundamental condition for meeting the EU's climate goals. Without a stable and smart infrastructure, neither clean energy nor affordable electricity supplies for households and businesses can be guaranteed.
