Summary
This dataset contains the data behind Ember’s Europe Electricity Interconnection Data Tool. Ember aims to make this data accessible to support analysis on the impact of interconnectors and help identify the gaps that must be addressed to achieve a more efficient power system.
The data covers 51 countries and includes:
- Interconnection capacities and import potentials by country for 2024, 2030 and 2040:
- Best-estimate
- High scenario – all interconnection projects scheduled by 2030 or 2040 to come online as planned
- Viable needs – interconnection capacity that would minimize system costs (available for 2030 and 2040)
- Flow patterns between countries – best-estimate only
- Renewable generation and net export patterns by country – best-estimate only
