The The war between Russia and UkraineAcceleration of climate change and continuous payment tensions with the United States and China have shown it Europe is in an energy crossroad.
The European Union has revealed it in an attempt to significantly increase its energy freedom In 2025, the renewable energy capacity will add more 89 kikawat (GW). This is a 10 Gigawat increase compared to 2024, most of which are from new solar projects.
This action is estimated that it will help achieve its climate purposes by 2030, which indicates Reduce at least 55% of net greenhouse gas emission by the end of this decadeCompared to 1990 levels. The EU’s dependence on the importation of a super -ped gas will also be reduced.
However, recent events The broker in Spain Portugal shows that the continent may be needed More configuration energy solution. Some experts believe that the answer is A European Superrett.
It will create a High voltage cross -the -porter electricityIt is completed by adequate network infrastructure at all voltage levels. A network of this type can provide electricity Throughout EuropeIncluded TurkeyAs well as some parts North Africa.
Does Europe need a super -ped?
As The demand for electricity is constantly increasing every yearOne of the main advantages of a European Superrette may be energy consistency. Although Europe has invested in renewable energy projects such as solar and air, you can never trust them.
Wind turbine cannot generate electricity when the wind stops AirY Solar panels They stop working at night. Therefore, these facilities cannot create a continuous electric flow.
In other cases, Break up the need for renewable power generation demandEspecially in high air and solar generation periods. This surplus not only weakens the price of electricity, but also prompts electricity to provide electricity instead of exporting or saving manufacturers.
Michael Ashley Shulman, the founder and investment director of the running point capital advisers (CIO) The continent is renewableIt is clear that the wind in the north, the sun in the south and the scattered hydraulic (energy) need a way to be in the middle. “
“A super -ped tattoo will allow you to flow effectively at the bordersBalance of supply and need; It can soften energy ups and reduce prices, increase the setback and help Europe fossil fuels quickly. “
According to Hubard de La Grandier, the general directorSuper Grid Company, Instead of single superrete, Europe may require manyAnd one in Europe is not necessary.
“Between France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy, other countries, many have already planned multiple high -voltage current (HVDC). “Little Super Redes”He explains.
“Like highways in the last century, A Superrett It can arise with progressive links between many HVDC bonds and a variety of networks, if they are designed to be measured or expandable. “
The first examples of the growing European infrastructure of super rits, Marine Superrests, De La Condier emphasizes, CO2 may be a great way to save emissionsCosts and materials for significant integration of sea wind energy.
Energy Systems and Director of Energy Systems and the Principles of the Renewable Phase Preview point to this: “Electronic Networks allow electrification, renewable energy sources (FER) and coordination of the market Are efficient in basic, expenses and resources that to achieve energy change at the right time“.

However, A Superrett would not be the same solutionAnd instead of changing it, it must be a part of the wide change. Theres Goodman of the Environmental Economic Institute of Vienna’s Economics and Business University explained this: “A super -ped environmental integrity, social equality and energy democracy must be in the service of economic performance or commercial level. You have to combine parts, do not accumulate in control“.
Have you emphasized climate change in the need for a European Superrett?
Climate change, in form Extreme weather events such as floods and heat wavesThis significantly increases the risks of existing regular energy infrastructure, while emphasizing the variation of solar and wind power.
May help a super -ped Maintain energy resistant and protection Multiply the spread of electricity and combine different countries with more energy sources.
AdvertisementOtherwise it is a super -ped, Investment is essential. According to the European Commission, approximately 584,000 million euros Investing in networks at the end of this decade, in order to maintain the course of energy change.
The International Energy Association (ie) has said to be “The” Lack of network growthIncluding its extension, it proposes risks to electrical protection, while controlling the rhythm and increasing the price of clean change. “
Gagoris points out: “Due to the planned increase in ferrer infiltration, mostly located in distant areas Lack of adequate capacity of the network, within the cross -the -porter and the countriesCould quickly become a suitable bottle Climatic change.
“Emergency is not a license for reckless infrastructure. A super -ped built in a hurry without environmental and social protection, Runs the risk of solving a crisis and making others worse. Euronevas Green explains that ‘we need systems that are deicening and spreading, expeditious and fair.
AdvertisementToron Shmuveli, general director of Meeman Research, said that a superred other filler energy supply solutions could not be changed. “Though A super -ped help to distribute renewable energies in EuropeNot only should it be considered a filler solution, ”he says.
“A combination of large -scale infrastructure improvements and decentralized energy solutions Existing off-cit technologyIt is necessary to reduce the dependence of networks with high load. “
What challenges are the creation of European Superrert?
Although many EU member states DenmarkLas Netland y GermanyTried to grow up National Super RidisAttempts to build a super -ped in Europe have been reduced in recent years.
Except The largest financial investment This is needed, one of the main reasons for this recession is a huge complexity of the processes that are allowed in different organ states.
AdvertisementUse The useless of the community and national lawAs well as the problems of coordination between the EU public and private companies and the regulations, they are difficult to create a European Superret. Public opposition, including municipalities, has contributed to this issue.
“Uniting dozens of national networks is not just an engineering plan, but it is a political mining industry. All countries protect them Energy Like crown jewelry, no one in its backyard does not want new electric lines, ”says Shulman.
“If you add too much costs to this, Internet security risks From a hypertenge system and protocol problem, let’s look at why Superit is a PowerPoint dream than a reality. Not just cables to Europe: it is needed Political desireOvarian The best portfolio And skill Think beyond its own boundaries“.
A sum of costs in A Cross -Foker View This may be a challenge because the benefits can often be seen from where investments are to be made, which can lead to conflicts between member states.
AdvertisementCaucasis asks to think for a long time. “To reach System Optimization requires preference for the timely ‘higher value’ approachCompared to “low cost”. Otherwise, a limited ambition relating to the development of the electric network, the course will last the pro Dead fuels“He says.
Install other challenges Clear interfaces and standards at the system levelSo that the converters can work together from different manufacturers, as well as enough labor and industrial ability to retain the superret.
Something recent What Buru on the iBerian Peninsula It has raised concern that the European Superrete is very interconnected and, therefore, that is vulnerable to large -scale darkness and cyber breads.
“On the one hand, shows the blackout Weakness of isolated networks Support the broad and interconnected networks that can support each other in the event of a crisis, “Shulman says. On the other hand, he remembers more than all Interconnected Can occur in dozens of countries A localized failure extends to the entire systema.
Advertisement“If a super -ped is better done, there will be more resistance, but security, coordination and dismissal are not bombarded.” In short, Darkness appears to be a super -ped neededOvarian But very dangerous If it is done in half. “
Goodman emphasizes it A Superrett is not just a matter of cables. “These are energy, access and direction. If the governance, distribution and legal issues are not solved, large -scale projects are stagnant or resistance, no matter how much they want to be” green “,” he says.
“The actual challenge is not technical, but the visionary observer. Can we create a network that supports reasonable change, respect local activity and remain within the environmental limits? Otherwise, we are running the risk of replacing the fossil block with the new form of the centralized environmental extraction. “
