The European Technology and Innovation Platform Smart Networks for Energy Transition (ETIP SNET) was born in the framework of the European Union’s new integrated roadmap of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) – Europe’s R&D Master Plan. The ETIP SNET’s objective is to drive and guide R&D&I for transmission and distribution systems and thus support Europe’s energy transition.
The work carried out by ETIP SNET is supported by the INTENSYS4EU project, through the H2020 Programme, and led by ZABALA Innovation Consulting. Aligned with the strategy of the European transition to a low carbon economy, promoting safe and efficient energy, the project had an overall budget of more than 4.3 million euros and ended in 2020.
