Scenarios for integration of large shares of renewable energy in Europe up to 2050

The EU project SUSPLAN has developed a set of scenarios for more efficient integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into future infrastructures regionally and across Europe. The scenarios are used as basis for regional studies of el, gas and heat infrastructures in 9 European countries/regions, correlated with studies of trans-national electricity and gas infrastructures in the time perspective of 2030-2050. The results from the case studies are used to elaborate a set of strategies, recommendations, criteria and benchmarks for political, infrastructure and network decision makers and power distributors.
