Roadmap 2010-18 and Implementation Plan 2010-12</b></font>, has been prepared by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/http://www.entsoe.eu/" target="_blank">ENTSO-E</a> and EDSO-SG in close collaboration with the European Commission, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/http://www.ergeg.org/" target="_blank">ERGEG</a> and other relevant stakeholders. This Implementation Plan has been formally endorsed at the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/http://www.setplan-conference2010.es/" target="_blank">SET-PLAN conference</a> in Madrid on 3rd of June 2010. The EEGI is one of the European Industrial Initiatives under the Strategic Energy Technologies Plan (SET-PLAN) and proposes a 9-year European research, development and demonstration (RD&D) programme to accelerate innovation and the development of the electricity networks of the future in Europe. The programme focuses on system innovation rather than on technology innovation, and addresses the challenge of integrating new technologies under real life working conditions and validating the results. The SET PLAN supports European energy and climate policies through technology innovation. It aims to coordinate efforts at national and EU level through joint strategic planning and effective implementation mechanisms. European Industrial Initiatives are industry-driven strategic technology alliances to address key low-carbon energy technologies. ENTSO-E is the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, representing 42 Transmission System Operators (TSOs) from 34 countries. Founded in December 2008, it’s legal raison d’être is Regulation (EC) 714/2009 on electricity cross-border exchanges. EDSO-SG (European DSO Association for SmartGrids) has recently been created by a number of Distribution System Operators and is open to wide membership (contact EDSO-SG at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/mailto:info@edsoforsmartgrids.eu">info@edsoforsmartgrids.eu</a>). The two associations, jointly with the <strong>European Technology Platform SmartGrids </strong>will play an important role in the planning, monitoring and dissemination of this initiative. In the dissemination of the results regarding the distribution network, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/http://www.eurelectric.org/" target="_blank">Eurelectric</a> will also play a key role.</p> <table bgcolor="#e2e3bc" border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/http://www.smartgrids.eu/documents/EEGI/EEGI_Implementation_plan_May 2010.pdf" target="_blank">Download <i>EEGI Roadmap and Implementation Plan</i> </a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table bgcolor="#e2e3bc" border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111208235700/http://ec.europa.eu/energy/technology/set_plan/doc/setplan_brochure.pdf" target="_blank">Download <i>SET Plan brochure</i> </a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>  </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div>  <div id="footer"> <p> Copyright © 2011 - SmartGrids - European Technology Platform.
