The investment plan put infrastructure of ten years development projects in a regional perspective. They are the result of common planning studies across member states which are a core added value or the TYNDP. They give details on the regional constraints and needs of the high voltage grid. The infrastructure projects that result from these studies are part of the 2016 final list of projects also released today. The Latvian transmission system development projects are included into Baltic Sea Regional investment plan because “Augstsprieguma tikls” AS is a member of the regional group Baltic Sea.

ENTSO-E’s TYNDP is the most complete pan – European plan for the development of the electricity transmission grid. It answers questions like what, where and when infrastructure needs to be build and how Europe will benefit from it. The TYNDP 2016 list of transmission and storage projects gives a clear view on what European relevant projects are to be expected by 2030. These are the projects that ENTSO-E will assess in its 2016 main report using the European costs/benefits analyses.
