Summary

Following an initial pre-feasibility study on the global power grid concept, which highlighted the value of interconnections between continents for more efficient implementation of wind and solar power worldwide, an extension was carried out to consider alternative solutions such as storage and demand response.  In addition, the commercial rules and governance issues of a global grid have been added to the scope.
