- The objective of the workshop was to share and discuss experiences and emerging approaches for transmission expansion planning and cost-recovery (regulation and pricing) that promote the integration of renewable energy into grid supply.
- Practitioners from developed and developing countries explained their institutional frameworks for the transmission sector, as well as emerging approaches being implemented to plan and regulate transmission to interconnect renewable energy.
Transmission Systems Needed to Promote Renewable Energy
June 13 2017
Harnessing the full potential of renewable sources requires addressing different policy, regulatory, and technical planning aspects which currently inhibit the expansion of the transmission system. The ESMAP funded study, “Creating Renewable Energy Ready Transmission Networks: Review Emerging Practices and Recommendations” is addressing these challenges. Preliminary findings were discussed in a recent Workshop in Washington, DC. Learn more.
