As many as nine partners and stakeholders offered their views on ENTSO-E and its development during the first ten years. Peter Claes, Vice President, IFIEC, said that ENTSO-E is doing a fine job, but there’s still room for improvement.
The institutional perspective session kicked off with a video greeting by Claude Turmes, Minister for Energy of the Government of Luxembourg, who said that ENTSO-E has taken “a gigantic step” in ten years.
“Now we need you for another gigantic step – how do we win against climate change?”
Joachim Vanzetta, Chair of the Board for ENTSO-E, believes that the TSOs in ENTSO-E will continue to strive to find the right balance between the dimensions of the energy trilemma: sustainability, affordability and security of supply/system security.
The ENTSO-E 10 Years Conference, held in Helsinki, Finland, on 13th November 2019, takes a look at various issues affecting the European electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) now and in the future. ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, represents 43 TSOs from 36 countries across Europe.
The first decade of the ENTSO-E, founded ten years ago, has been full of changes. But the pace of the organisation will not slow down in the future, and one of the reasons for this is the energy transition. What is certain is that European cooperation will only become more important in the future.
How will Finland become carbon-neutral by 2035 in line with the government’s target? Can electricity and heat generation operations set their sights on being emissions-free by the end of the 2030s? Janne Peljo, Project Director at Sitra considers how realistic these targets are and which technology solutions will be required to reach them without jeopardising the reliability of the power system.
International climate agreements are driving the search for ways of minimising carbon dioxide emissions, so many parties are interested in how much carbon dioxide is released by electricity generation.
The Finnish authorities are forecasting and making preparation for the risks related to weather and climate conditions due to climate change. Fingrid is working closely with the authorities to ensure that electricity transmission continues uninterrupted, even in the event of extreme weather.
My Fingrid, an electronic service portal, was made easier to use with the help of five pilot customers. How did the pilot go, Key Account Manager Lassi Vuokko from Caruna Oy?
The difference between the prices of electricity in Finland and the other Nordic countries will be evened out when the third reactor is completed at Olkiluoto. The increasing amount of wind power is also easing the situation.
