"I think that the current portfolio of energy-generating sources needs to be changed by focusing on a number of renewable energy sources. This is why I am calling on Member States to adapt their infrastructure to the energy mix required to meet the targets set by the EU for renewable energy sources, cutting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promoting energy efficiency. Considerable investment needs to be made in the energy infrastructure to achieve this target by 2050 (roughly EUR 200 billion). Failure to make this investment would entail the following: a much higher cost in terms of environmental deterioration and an increase in energy prices and in energy insecurity and dependency. Significant risks are associated with the energy infrastructure: operational (for example, congestion and discontinuity of supply), natural (for example, earthquakes and floods), environmental (for example, pollution, and habitat and biodiversity loss) and anthropogenic/political (for example, risks associated with security and terrorism). Member States should map the risks as a tool for making decisions and monitoring the results from creating and improving smart, interconnected grids. Modernising national energy grids and interconnecting them in a super smart grid could provide a stable, secure flow of affordable energy for the public and create a number of green jobs."@en1
