ExpectedOutcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:
- Organisational, logistic and secretarial support provided to the SET Plan Implementation Working Group on HVDC.
- Smooth implementation through supporting the actions of the SET Plan for HVDC and DC Technologies in the coming years for the offshore as well as onshore grid development.
Scope:
The Implementation Working Group (IWG) on HVDC was set up in 2021 to address specifically the grid development needs deriving from a renewable-based energy system, as called by the Green Deal. With the perspective of the installation of 60 GW of offshore wind and at least 1 GW of ocean energy by 2030 (300 GW and 40 GW by 2050), the Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy has been the triggering event for the creation of the WG. The activities of the IWG range from the support to the development of DC Technologies and Systems to the fostering of the collaboration and coordination within the SET Plan countries to ensure their active involvement.
The support action is intended to facilitate the work of the IWG by providing support to the Implementation Plan on HVDC with activities focusing on:
- Organisational support to the Implementation Working Group on HVDC.
- Coordination with other initiatives/projects and links with stakeholder’s fora.
- Dissemination and networking activities with other existing ETIPs and IWGs (e.g., joint workshops, thematic conferences, webinar series, regular exchanges, etc.).
- Development and implementation of robust outreach approaches and societal engagement actions to span across the EU and Associated Countries.
- Organisation and management of documents and files with feed-in of relevant outputs of this CSA into the SET Plan information system (SETIS).
