This report describes how the context for the European Union Regulators Group for Electricity and Gas' (ERGEG's) consideration of smart grids is set by the key energy objectives of the European Union for the year 2020 _ increasing renewable energy supply to 20% of total demand, reducing energy consumption by 20% with respect to 2020 forecasts, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% with respect to 1990 levels _ and the more ambitious objectives for 2050.

The Department of Energy's Office of Electricity (OE) recognizes that our nation's sustained economic prosperity, quality of life, and global competitiveness depends on an abundance of secure, reliable, and affordable energy resources. OE leads the Department of Energy's efforts to ensure a resilient, and flexible electricity system in the United States. Learn more about OE >>
