The European energy transition
Paris (COP21) agreement: Production Limit global avg. temperature to well below 2ºC above pre-industrial levels. Pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5ºC.
EU Goals:
2030: 40% CO2 compared to 1990 levels. SunPV 2050: 80-95% CO reduction. 2 Wind Power sector decarbonized.
Regional cooperation is essential

October-20-2017 TenneT at a glance Huge amounts of offshore wind COP21 agreements implies a radical change in electricity generation mix for the North Seas countries
Assumptions study1 • Full decarbonisation of electricity production • 50% reduction of the total energy demand by 2045 (relative to 2010) • Electrification level of 45%
Outcome • 230 GW offshore wind capacity • 180 GW deployed in the North Sea • 50 GW deployed in ‘other seas’ (Baltic, Irish and Atlantic)
1 Translate COP21: 2045 outlook and implications for offshore wind in the North Seas (Ecofys 2017 by order of TenneT and Energinet). Countries: FR, BE, NL, UK, IE, LU, DE, DK, SE and NO)
October-20-2017 TenneT at a glance North Sea infrastructure Three main functions • Connection of countries: price convergence • Transmission of offshore wind energy • Enhance system security and stability by allowing the exchange of power
No consumption at sea
Impact of failures differs • Cost of onshore failure 200 x cost of electricity not delivered • Cost of offshore failure 1 x cost of electricity not delivered
