Energy system infrastructures and investments in hydrogen : including an impact analysis of Ukraine's connection to the EU power grid : [study]

This study analyses the present and future of the European electricity and gas infrastructure, exploring production capacity scenarios and their impact on the electricity system (including the role of interconnections, transmission and distribution grids, prosumers, and storage). It also assesses the potential impact of renewable hydrogen development in terms of production and transport. Furthermore, it discusses Ukraine's synchronisation with the EU power grid and its potential impact on the EU energy system.
