Abstract

This work aims to explore financial mechanisms and their potential to maximize co-benefits for the mid-term rollout of transmission grid infrastructure. The research focuses on Germany and the U.S., examining options for mid-term capital injection into transmission development. The methodology includes case study identification and analysis, development of strategic criteria, criteria weighting and validation through expert interviews and formulation of a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis framework. The work aims to qualitatively explore the potential of innovative financial mechanisms to accelerate transmission grid infrastructure development in the face of increasing energy demands and the sustainable energy transition to renewables.
