Join the Fourth in a 2021 series of webinars from the Clean Energy Ministerial Regional and Global Energy Interconnection (RGEI) Initiative.
July 15, 2021 || 1 PM CEST / 7 PM Beijing || Duration: 1 hour
Presenter: Antonio Iliceto
Moderator: Phillip Cornell
- What are the outcomes of first quantitative feasibility study on interconnecting all regions of a decarbonized world?
- Which assumptions, conditions and modelling are behind the technical feasibility and economical rationale of global grids?
- How are storage, demand response and sector integration impacting them after showing that international interconnections are part of the optimal solution?
- Which gaps and barriers stand on the way for global sustainable interconnections?
Mr. Antonio Iliceto Chairs Study Committee C1 System Development & Economics In CIGRE, he is the member of Technical Council and contributed/convened several WGs on sector coupling, hydrogen, resilience, grid planning drivers and CBA, interconnections assessment, global grids, TSO-DSO relation, African electrification. He is an Electrical Engineer, started his work in Africa for United Nations technical cooperation.

About the CEM’s Regional and Global Energy Interconnection (RGEI) Initiative
- Discuss conducive policy and regulatory framework regarding regional and global power system integration
- Build consensus on facilitating energy transition via increased proportion of renewable energy in energy consumption and enhanced grid interconnection
- Encourage CEM member countries to engage in the process of RGEI and seize collaborative opportunities
RGEI works with other regional and national technical organizations in the field of power system integration including State Grid Corporation of China, the Korea Electric Power Corporation, and others.
