Conclusions on Integrated Network Planning in Europe: The STEERS Project

Network planning is central to a future-proof energy system that is viable within the framework of the European Green Deal and suitable for energy systems integration. The new TEN-E regulation underlines this for European energy networks. The STEERS project aimed at aiding the implementation of its goals, i.e., system integration, the energy efficiency first principle, as well as the improvement of transparency and openness in the planning of energy networks in the European Union, and specifically in the TYNDP process. In this policy brief, we sum up the main conclusions.
