>> The SmartGrids - European Technology Platform for Electricity Networks of the Future began its work in 2005.
>> The initial scope of the Platform aims at increasing the efficiency, safety and reliability of European electricity transmission and distribution systems and removing obstacles to the large-scale integration of distributed and renewable energy sources, in line with the proposed priority for Smart Energy Networks in FP7.
