Cost-Benefit Analysis according to ENTSO-E guidelines

• The cost benefit impact assessment criteria reflect each transmission project’s added value for society.

• Economic and social viability are displayed in terms of :– increased capacity for trading of energy and balancing services

between bidding areas (market integration),– sustainability (RES integration, CO2 variation) and – security of supply (secure system operation).

• The indicators are calculated through an iteration of market and network studies.

• The first draft of CBA for the project expected by the end of November, 2013.

* - according to conditions
