Publication metadata
The Expert Group acknowledges that, in order to achieve its ambitious climate and energy goals, European Union needs to rely on a robust and interconnected grid where electricity interconnectors can support large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources, improve security of supply and benefit European citizens. The Expert Group also recognised that many transmission infrastructure projects face significant challenges in terms of public acceptance because of opposition on grounds of perceived risks to health, nature or intrusiveness of infrastructure in the landscape. In its third report, the Expert Group called for a better understanding of public opposition as a multilayer phenomenon, which can occur in all phases of the decision-making process and should be treated as an opportunity to deliver projects that are socially acceptable and transparent and create momentum and support for European energy and climate policies.
