A highly integrated internal electricity market, facilitating the efficient exchange of electricity across borders, is crucial for the EU’s decarbonisation efforts and for guaranteeing the security of electricity supply. In a context of rapidly developing renewable technologies, the timely expansion of electricity transmission infrastructure, through both new build-out and non-wire alternatives, and the maximisation of cross-zonal trading possibilities across the EU are key to the completion of the internal market for electricity. This report presents a series of analyses exemplifying the importance of maximising cross-zonal trade for the well-functioning of the EU internal market for electricity.
