The European Electricity Grid Initiative (EEGI) has published a Roadmap for the years 2010-18 and a Detailed Implementation Plan 2010-12; with proposals how many Euros to spend.
The EEGI has proposed a nine-year European research, development and demonstration (RD&D) program initiated by electricity transmission and distribution network operators to accelerate innovation and the development of the electricity networks of the future in Europe.
The following statement is great: "The proposed RD&D program focuses on system innovation rather than on technology innovation." Yes, the time to develop crucial Technologies was during the years 2000 and 2010. Several basic Technologies like the international communication standards IEC 61850, IEC 61400-25, IEC 62351, IEC 61968, and IEC 61970 are published AND IMPLEMENTED in many devices - ready to build SYSTEMS.
The time has come to USE these standards and devices - rather than start again discussing protocols again and again ... like in the nineties ...
Planned investments for monitoring, communication, ... automation are:
| Start | Function | Budget |
| 2012 | Improved planning, monitoring and control of LV networks | 100 M€ |
| 2011 | Automation and control of MV network | 90 M€ |
| 2012 | Integrated Communication Solutions | 50 M€ |
| 2011 | Joint Task force on IT system protocols and standards (DSO driven) | 19 M€ |
