Abstract :
New technologies such as smart grids, plug-in electric hybrid vehicles, carbon capture and storage, wind power nuclear and more will be required to meet the three challenges of climate change, security of supply and affordable energy. In order to optimally plan the future, a masterplan is required that not only explains the role of key stakeholders such as government, customers, utilities, and manufacturers, but also describes the major milestones required to meet targets by 2050.
