The objective is to proactively involve the wind industry in the development of grid connection codes, a process that is currently governed soley by transmission system operators (TSO’s).

The Working Group’s first meeting, which was held on 8 March 2007 in Brussels, was well attended. During the meeting, the decision was taken to draft a position paper to lay out viewpoints on technical aspects, verification and measurement of grid compliance, and the policies required to reach the necessary grid connection requirements in a cost-effective manner. The aim is to produce a common position paper by September this year.
