A new lobby group dedicated to accelerating the planning and delivery of a pan-European “supergrid” for renewable energy has been formed by Irishwoman Lesley O’Connor.

The organisation, SupergridEurope, will be guided by the vision set out in a book on the subject by Ms O’Connor’s father, the renewables pioneer Eddie O’Connor who died last year. It was co-authored by Kevin O’Sullivan, who is environment and science editor with The Irish Times.

The launch of the group comes ahead of the European Commission’s grids package in the autumn, which will include legislation to ensure cross-border integrated grid planning.
