RGI Partners
The Renewables-Grid-Initiative promotes the expansion of transmission capacity in Europe for a full integration of distributed and bulk renewable energy generation in the European grid. To reach this target, the initiative brings together non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and transmission system operators (TSOs). For the first time, 50Hertz Transmission, Elia, Germanwatch, National Grid, RTE, Swissgrid, TenneT-transpower and WWF International join for a common cause. The grid infrastructure of the participating 7 TSOs in the RGI provides the backbone of the existing power supply to some 240 million people in Europe, about half its population.
The Renewables-Grid-Initiative is kindly funded by the European Climate Foundation. The Otto-Guericke-University Magdeburg and the Brandenburg University for Technology Cottbus are Supporting Members.
The NGO Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the UK branch of Birdlife International, became officially an observer in March 2010 and is strongly considering joining the Renewables-Grid-Initiative.
