European Supergrid

The European Supergrid is a cross-border energy network which would have a number of benefits, including improved energy security, grid decentralization, and the improved uptake of renewable energy technologies. The most significant benefit would be the pooling of the entire renewable energy resource of the European continent. This would reduce intermittency by smoothing supply and demand issues, while also providing a huge amount of reserve. Energy security is underpinned by the diversification of the electrical network, removing reliance from one source to several and mitigating the risk of any one source cutting out. One could argue that a super grid is, by nature, more secure than a national grid.
