About TWENTIES

TWENTIES project initiated its work on April 2010, coordinated by Red Eléctrica de España

What is TWENTIES?

TWENTIES = Transmission system operation with large penetration of Wind and other renewable Electricity sources in Networks by means of innovative Tools and Integrated Energy Solutions

The TWENTIES project aims at:

"demonstrating by early 2014 through real life, large scale demonstrations, the benefits and impacts of several critical technologies required to improve the pan-European transmission network, thus giving Europe a capability of responding to the increasing share of renewable in its energy mix by 2020 and beyond while keeping its present level of reliability performance"

This project is funded by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.
