In the framework of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan), the European Union’s R&D&I master plan, ETIP SNET gathers all relevant stakeholders to elaborate a European innovation strategy towards a smart integrated energy system.
Since its establishment in 2016, the ETIP has already delivered several key publications, such as a 10-year Research & Innovation Roadmap (2017-2026) and its Implementation Plan for 2017-2020 and the Vision 2050. These documents aim to identify the necessary research & innovation (R&I) priorities to advance the energy transition.
ETIP SNET is currently working on a new Research and Innovation Roadmap (2020-2030) which will incorporate the latest feedback from the upcoming ETIP SNET workshops and monitored projects across Europe. About the new roadmap, Guido Guida declared: “while the Vision 2050 aims to inspire energy users in taking decisions in the transition to a cleaner, fully integrated pan European energy system, the new roadmap will illustrate the framework with the features and the related RD&I activities to be deployed before 2030.”
Guido Guida will serve as Chairman until the project’s end in September 2020. He will be assisted by Nikos Hatziargyriou (EDSO), and Emiliano Russo (EASE) as Vice-Chairpersons. Two other Vice-Chairpersons who rotate on an annual basis are as well assisting the chairman: these currently are Antonio Illecito (replacing Maher Chebbo), chairman of ETIP SNET WG1 and Michael Huebner chairman of ETIP SNET NSCG WG (replacing Emmanouil Kakaras).
