ETIP SNET R&I Implementation Plan 2022-2025 (December 2021)
The ETIP SNET R&I Implementation Plan (IP) describes in detail the most urgent R&I needs for the next 3–4-year timespan. This version updates the previous 2021-2024 edition. The publication introduces the concept of High-Level Use Cases (HLUC) and the associated Priority Project Concepts (PPCs) to better communicate to its key audiences. Through the HLUCs, the ETIP SNET intends to underline the urgency of realising the transformation of today’s energy system through concrete R&I projects into the needed widely renewable energy system of 2031 and the fully CO2-neutral energy system of 2050 as the ultimate goal. This is connected with concrete outcomes and scopes for real world demonstrations. The R&I Priority Projects Concepts (PPCs) for each of HLUC cover key integration features of the Future European Energy Systems with concrete goals and time schedule. Nine HLUCs – each valid until 2031 – are used to structure the needed R&I Priority Project Concepts.
