Teasimed 2 (2023 – 2025)
Med-TSO developed the project TEASIMED 2 (Towards an Efficient, Adequate, Sustainable and Interconnected MEDiterranean Power System), the 4th initiative co-funded by the European Union, and a follow-up to the TEASIMED project, which concluded in March 2023.
The project ran from January 2023 to December 2025, and aimed to promote the progressive integration of transmission networks across Med-TSO countries. It addressed adequacy and energy security requirements, enhancement of cross-border electricity exchanges, and the integration of renewable energy sources in the Mediterranean region, through the coordination of national development plans and the harmonisation of grid operation rules.
TEASIMED 2 is structured along the following activity streams:
1. PLANNING OF THE MEDITERRANEAN HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION GRIDS
The expected results for this work stream are:
- Elaboration of Mediterranean Scenarios targeting 2040 horizon and updating of the Master Plan of Mediterranean Interconnections (horizon 2030) ;
- Power System Needs in relation to some key indicators;
- Very Long-Term Mediterranean Energy perspectives.
2. CONSOLIDATION OF THE COMMON TECHNICAL REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The expected result of this work stream is to provide Technical Support for the definition and implementation of a Mediterranean Grid Code.
3. OPTIMISED OPERATION PROCESSES
The expected results for this work stream are:
- Improvements in Operational Data Exchanges;
- Rules and protocols for increased coordination in the management of Power Systems
4. ASSESSING RESILIENCE OF POWER SYSTEM
The expected results for this work stream are:
- Elaboration of Seasonal & Mid-term Adequacy Assessment;
- Assessing resilience of Power System in the context of global warming, Cyber-security and energy security;
- Trends in flexibility & storage technologies.
5. KNOWLEDGE SHARING PROGRAMME FOR TRAINING AND CAPACITY BUILDING
The expected results for this work stream are:
- Develop Knowledge Sharing and Capacity building programmes;
- Launch common training activities and workshops with regional stakeholders;
- Assess the potential of joint programmes in the field of Research, Development & Innovation;
- Improve functionalities and management of the Mediterranean Database (DBMED).
TEASIMED 2 pursues energy and climate objectives in line with the EU Neighbourhood Policy and the European Green Deal, while supporting the REPowerEU Plan through energy savings, diversification of energy supplies, and accelerated roll-out of renewable energy.
