ETIP SNET and BRIDGE dealt with multifaceted challenges within INTENSY4EU project in order to move towards a low carbon energy sector, to maintain and extend global industrial leadership, to create a pan European integrated energy system and to mobilise public and private sector towards the same objectives to finance the changes.
Thanks to the commitment of the research and industry experts, European and national public authorities, European associations and others, ETIP SNET has accomplished an exemplary job in gathering all actors from the energy sector to tackle the key aspects of a very complex issue.
Indeed, with the key publications of ETIP SNET (Vision 2050, Roadmaps and Implementation Plans) created effective tools that demonstrates to all in Europe and elsewhere that the EC has technical insights into its challenges, that the EC investments in human and financial capital will have an impact and an effective life-span well beyond 2050 for Europe to create a secure, sustainable and competitive energy system.
The common goal of the two initiatives make sure to have important and tangible advancements toward a more unified Europe based on a: low-carbon, secure, reliable, by the year 2050, while maintaining and extending global industrial leadership in energy systems during the energy transition.
The activities carried out within ETIP SNET and BRIDGE supported daily by the INTENSYS4EU Secretariat have been:
• Providing strategic guidance about the R&I activities (low to high TRL, priorities) raised by the integration issues of the electricity system into the wider European energy system
• Interacting with the stakeholders of the ETIP SNET at European level as well as the ETIP stakeholders at national and international level
• Enhancing collaboration between projects through a support to the on-going BRIDGE process initiated by the European Commission for the funded R&I projects of Horizon 2020
All the activities planned within INTENSYS4EU have been carried out as planned.
Some additional activities have been carried out not originally planned:
• Thematic webinars per ETIP SNET WGs
• The development of the KSP
• Energy Story Compilation
• Restructuring of BRIDGE structure and activities in collaboration with the EC.+
The Target audience originally addressed has been successfully reached as proved by their deep involvement in drafting the main results and publications listed above and by the Great commitment in the Events, meetings and Calls as proved by the numbers mentioned above and in all the Reporting of INTENSYS4EU.
More and more attention and focus on the Customers and Citizens as beneficiaries and related part of the energy value chain have been put in the last years and will be done in the next period, to guarantee that all the proposed tools and identified R&I priorities are fully in line with the needs of the Customers as well as the Industries and the Research Centres.
