FOSG, an industrial alliance advocating the creation of a pan-European transmission network, is disappointed by timid European Commission (EC) proposals to reduce dependence on Russian gas and by its general lack of ambition on electricity infrastructure.

The European Council has asked the commission to propose by next month specific interconnection objectives to be attained by 2030.

FOSG says if Europe is to achieve its 2030 targets, it will need to enable investments in large low-carbon generation that are in many cases distant from centres of consumption.
