Regional cooperation is key to ensure security of energy supply in the EU. States from the Baltic Sea area face an opportunity to create a truly regional green energy market. Wind energy will be the largest player on that market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding being part of the initiative to extend the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan was crucial to the strengthening of the cooperation between the states from the Baltic Sea region. The document assumes deeper cooperation in the area of energy between the Baltic Sea states through, among others, joint assessment of generation adequacy, development of grid infrastructure and joint RES development initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIHS CERA demonstrated that more than 100 GW of new green capacity may be built in the Baltic Sea region by 2030. Two thirds of that figure will be in onshore and offshore wind farms, with a further quarter in PV. Regional cooperation will enable to use more of the tremendous RES potential and contribute to better integration of the energy market in the European Union,\u201d <\/em>said Izabela Kielichowska, Vice-President of the Polish Wind Energy Association.<\/p>\n

The development of the regional cooperation between particular Member States is encouraged by the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Council. The cooperation is necessary to meet the EU 2030 RES targets (the share of green energy in gross energy consumption is to reach 27%). However, to strengthen regional cooperation one needs to develop solutions bringing additional value added for all countries of the region.<\/p>\n

First of all, the necessary system security level and electricity demand in the region has to be defined. A substantial modernisation and development of the existing transmission infrastructure, including interconnectors, and the development of the Baltic Power Rail for integrated offshore development is key. Moreover, it is necessary to develop a joint methodology for the assessment of power system security in the region and, possibly, to develop a joint strategy for the development of the energy mix. The European Commission proposes the Baltic Sea region to introduce three pilot solutions for the entire energy market in Europe:<\/p>\n
