Interview Dominique Maillard (RTE): 'No technical obstacles for Mediterranean ring'

The French electricity transmission system operator RTE (Réseau de Transport d’électricité) would like to see the European grid connected to the countries on the southern shore of the Mediterranean. Thus a ‘mediterranean ring’ would be created which would be ‘hooked up’ to the EU. Dominique Maillard, chairman of the Executive Board of RTE, former chairman of the Governing Board of the International Energy Agency, explains the idea behind the ring.
