The global course has been set. We are steadily but surely moving away from fossil fuels towards alternatives. The energy source par excellence is electric. And we turn a blind eye to the fact that this electricity production is not always green. We have to, because at the moment, renewable production does not guarantee a constant, let alone sufficient, supply. It is clear that investing in renewable energy is important, but the world is looking at a not to be underestimated sore point: it is insufficiently, if at all, connected electrically. After all, it does not matter if electricity is produced in an ecological manner if it is not available where it is needed. Since the sun doesn’t always shine here and the wind doesn’t always blow, connecting electricity networks across borders is a crucial factor in realising energy transition.
