We are an organisation devoted to getting a High Voltage Direct Current System in the European Union as soon as possible.

We feel this is right because

You, the European Consumer are entitled to a free market in electricity

AND

Renewables have to be taken where they are found, so their electricity needs to be sent far further afield that at present.

Direct Current at High Voltage is the most economic method of sending large amounts of electricity long distances

(If you need to know why, environmentally, it is also so very urgent click here)

Our objectives are to facilitate the above by:

Informing - Governments, Individuals or Corporations of the arguments

Lobbying and meeting decision makers

Assisting individuals to understand the pressing need for a DC Network
