“…Such a grid infrastructure will not be motivated by the use of renewables alone. In fact, its construction will probably take place anyway, in order to stabilize the growing European grid, to provide greater security of supply, and to foster competition (Asplund 2004, Eurelectric 2003. By 2050, transmission lines with a capacity of 5 GW each will transport about 700 TWh/year of solar electricity from 20 different locations in the Middle East and North Africa to the main centres of demand in Europe ( Fig.…”

This report summarizes the results of two studies of electricity supply for Europe (EU), the Middle East (ME) and North Africa (NA) up to the year 2050. It shows that a transition to competitive, secure and sustainable supply of electricity and water is possible using renewable energy sources, efficiency gains and fossil fuel backup for balancing power. A strong cooperation between the EU and MENA for the market introduction of renewable energy and the interconnection of the electricity grids by high-voltage direct-current transmission are keys to the success and survival of the whole region. However, the necessary measures will take at least two decades to become effective. Therefore, adequate policy and economic frameworks for their realization must be introduced immediately. The importance of sustainable energy for the security of freshwater supplies in MENA is also described.

“…This system operates well if the distance between the wind farm and the point of common connection is not too far. If the distance is far, approximately more than 50 km and the connection has to be done with cables, it is advantageous to use a High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) connection, [4].…”

The world climate changing is driving the electric power production towards renewable energy sources. The development of wind turbines has reached the power level of 5 MW and wind farms up to 1000 MW are planned. Investigations have shown that the cost for production of wind energy is in the same level as coal and gas. The large amount of hydro power in the Nordic countries can be used to compensate for the irregularity of producing wind power in Europe. High voltage direct current connections between Sweden and Germany, with a wind farm between can be a solution in the future.
