European Future Interconnected Transmission model (EuroFIT model)

Project Description

To overcome the worst effects of climate change, countries must band together to drive towards a net-zero world. Decarbonising the Irish and European energy systems is an essential first step and will create not just a cleaner energy

system but a more efficient, secure, and effective energy system. A continental grid is a vision for a fully integrated European electricity grid unlocking the best renewable

resources and connecting them to all of Europe. This project will develop the EuroFIT model which is a granular grid scale model for Europe which will serve the purpose of comparing three scenarios based on 1) Business-as-Usual, 2) current policy trajectory and 3) highly interconnected European energy system.
