As a network operator, we are preparing not only our gas and electricity networks for a sustainable future, but also our market facilitating systems and services. We are working towards a new situation of more awareness and choices in energy generation and consumption, and a sustainable energy system which is reliable, accessible and affordable. We cannot do this alone. To achieve this goal, all parties jointly need to have a clear view of the energy system in 2050 and how we get to that point.
