Abstract :
Supergrid is a grid that enables to transfer electricity produced by renewable sources from the production places, located in regions, like ocean coasts and Sahara desert, to the consumptions centers. Several projects were developed supported by EU in last years and others will be proposed on such topic in the next future. In this paper the authors propose a method able to evaluate the projects in terms of their compatibility with the EU policy.
