EU grid could handle 68% renewables by 2030

The EU power grid could cope reliably with up to 68% of power from renewable sources by 2030 if up to €97bn is spent on carefully selected grid reinforcements, according to a study published by consultants Energynautics.  It identified specific locations where the grid would need to be reinforced and concluded the most effective method to optimise the use of installed renewables is to introduce European-wide renewable energy prioritisation in the generation dispatch process.
