The Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI) is a unique collaboration of NGOs and TSOs from across Europe,

engaging in an ‘energy transition ecosystem-of-actors’. We promote fair, transparent, sustainable grid

development to enable the growth of renewables and achieve full decarbonisation in line with the Paris
