Request to Adapt European Energy Planning Scenarios

SmartEn is glad to support the Renewables Grid Initiative’s ambition to request the adaptation of the European Energy Planning Scenarios.
The signatories of this Request, are committed to the objective set by the ratified Paris Agreement to pursue efforts to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, and believe that energy infrastructure investment decisions play a fundamental role in reaching this target. Therefore, the EU Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) 2022 should work with scenarios that are compatible with: the Paris Agreement, the European Green Deal, and the European Council’s decision to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
