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 organisations (NGOs) and transmission system operators (TSOs). For the first time, 50Hertz Transmission, Friends of the Earth Scotland, Elia, Germanwatch, National Grid, the Dutch nature and environmental protection association Natuur en Milieu, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), the UK branch of Birdlife International, RTE, Statnett, Swissgrid, TenneT, Terna and WWF International join for a common cause. The grid infrastructure of the participating 8 TSOs in the RGI provides the backbone of the existing power supply to some 300 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.
