ELECTRICITY NETWORKS

Developing electricity networks in island, isolated, peripheral and ultraperipheral regions while promoting the diversification of energy sources and enhancing the use of renewable energy, and connection of the electricity networks of those regions, if appropriate: Ireland — United Kingdom (Wales) Greece (islands) Italy (Sardinia) — France (Corsica) — Italy (mainland) Connections in island regions, including connections to the mainland Connections in ultraperipheral regions in France, Spain, Portugal. Developing the electricity connections between the Member States needed for the functioning of the internal market and in order to ensure the reliability and dependability of the operation of electricity networks: France — Belgium — Netherlands — Germany France — Germany France — Italy France — Spain Portugal — Spain Finland — Sweden Finland — Estonia — Latvia — Lithuania Austria — Italy Italy — Slovenia Austria — Italy — Slovenia — Hungary Germany — Poland Germany — Poland — Czech Republic — Austria — Slovakia — Hungary Hungary — Slovakia Hungary — Austria Poland — Lithuania Ireland — United Kingdom (Northern Ireland) Austria — Germany — Slovenia — Hungary Netherlands — United Kingdom Germany — Denmark — Sweden Greece — Italy Hungary — Slovenia Malta — Italy Finland — Estonia Italy — Slovenia. Developing electrical connections within the Member States where needed in order to take advantage of the connections between the Member States, the functioning of the internal market or the connection of renewable energy sources: all Member States. Developing electricity connections with non-Member States, and more particularly with the candidate countries, thus contributing towards interoperability, the operational reliability and dependability of the electricity grids or the supply of electricity within the European Community: Germany — Norway Netherlands — Norway Sweden — Norway United Kingdom — Norway Baltic Electricity Ring: Germany — Poland — Belarus — Russia — Lithuania — Latvia — Estonia — Finland — Sweden — Norway — Denmark Norway — Sweden — Finland — Russia Mediterranean Electricity Ring: France — Spain — Morocco — Algeria — Tunisia — Libya — Egypt — near eastern countries — Turkey — Greece — Italy Greece — Turkey Italy — Switzerland Austria — Switzerland Hungary — Romania Hungary — Serbia Hungary — Croatia Italy — Tunisia Greece — Balkan countries Spain — Morocco Spain — Andorra — France EU — Balkan countries — Belarus — Russia — Ukraine Black Sea Electricity Ring: Russia — Ukraine — Romania — Bulgaria — Turkey –Georgia Bulgaria — Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia/Greece — Albania — Italy or Bulgaria — Greece — Italy. Actions improving the functioning of the interconnected electricity networks within the internal market, in particular, identifying the bottlenecks and missing links, developing solutions in order to deal with congestion and adapting the methods of forecasting and of operating electricity networks: Identifying the bottlenecks and missing links, especially cross-border, within electricity networks, Developing solutions for electricity flow management in order to deal with the problems of congestion within electricity networks, Adapting the methods of forecasting and of operating electricity networks as required for the proper functioning of the internal market and the use of a high percentage of renewable energy sources.
