SuperGrid Institute

The Institute for Energy Transition (ITE) Supergrid is a collaborative research platform in the field of low-carbon energy, bringing together the expertise of industry and public research in the logic of public-private co-investment and close cooperation between all stakeholders of the sector. The institute aims to develop technologies for the Supergrid that is the future electricity transmission network, using direct current and alternating current at very high voltages (in the order of one million volts), designed to transport large-scale energy from renewable sources remote from load centers, a significant portion of which are offshore, which will be in connection with flexible storage resources; to manage the intermittent nature of renewable energy; and also, to ensure the stability and security of the network.
