During the entire e-Highway2050 project, significant interim and final results of individual work packages, including stakeholder workshops and consultations, will be published under the ‘Results’ section from 2013 to the end of 2015. This section is continuously extended. One overall result is the Modular Development Plan which will present the architectural possibilities of the electricity transmission network in 2050, including, among other information, the assumptions and calculations for electricity generation, demand and transmission technologies until 2050. Moreover, a network planning method will be developed to serve as the basis for all future long-term network planning. After project completion, the ‘body of knowledge’ will present all project results in a target group-specific and interactive format.
e-Highway2050 articles available on the GridInnovation-on-line Knowledge Sharing Platform

Results of Stakeholder Workshop on Boundary conditions and scenarios identification for the 2050 transmission system on 23rd January 2013.
The objectives were to define the limits of the study, the so-called ”boundary conditions”, and to define a robust methodology for the identification of energy scenarios. The scenarios will be used all along the project in order to foresee the possible development of the transmission network in Europe.
