ENTSO-EENTSO-E Grid Planning Hub
Discover how EU climate targets shape national and European electricity grid planning.
The European planning process in a nutshell
From EU climate targets down to national implementation and European coordination tools including the Ten-Year Network Development Plan and European Resource Adequacy, European electricity grid planning is highlighted by a diverse set of actors and detailed planning stages.
From joint EU climate targets and National Development Plans to European Grid Planning
National Development Plans are foundational to the European Ten-Year Network Development Plan because they provide the national-level vision, priorities, and infrastructure projects that feed into pan-European energy system planning.
Each country develops its own NDP, outlining planned investments in electricity infrastructure, based on National Energy and Climate Plans, EU decarbonisation goals, and security of supply needs.
