Europe Cross-Border Electricity Interconnector Market Future Discussed in New Study Published at MarketPublishers.com

14 Mar 2012 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – In order to ensure a diversified and stable energy supply for Europe there is a need for increased cross-border trading in electricity. However, the current framework for regulating, building and financing interconnectors – which, simply put, are cross-border transmission lines that are not funded through the regulated asset base of a utility or monopoly transmission company, or transmission system operator (TSO) – in the European Union is broken. It might limp on for a few more years but it will need a complete overhaul sooner rather than later.

The EU had agreed that minimum electricity interconnection levels between member states should be increased to at least 10% of demand, as endorsed by the Barcelona European Council in 2002. While interconnection into some member states has exceeded the 10% target since 2010, the overall picture is very mixed, with southern Europe, the UK and Ireland continuing to experience significant bottlenecks and falling short of the rather limited target.

New research study “The European Cross-Border Electricity Interconnectors Market 2012-2022” developed by Visiongain has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.
