Sustainable partnerships for major project

The social acceptability related to electricity transmission business has become a key element in Europe. Where Electricity Transmission System Operators have to renovate existing lines or create new ones, the solutions offered by the LIFE Elia-RTE allow them to consider a global approach to the territory in which integrates these projects: environment, local stakeholders and economic issues.

To integrate these three aspects, the development of sustainable partnerships with local stakeholders has become essential.
