This is a recording of webinar held on 7 May 2013, moderated by Magdalena Mos (FSR Training Coordinator)

Arthur Henriot presents the results of his research on the financing of the European Electricity Transmission Network. He questions the ability of European electricity TSOs to achieve unprecedented capital expenditures, given their current financial situation. He identified a significant financing gap in case of a steady increase in tariffs, wonders what would be the costs for users to meet the whole investment program, and assesses the potential for alternative financing strategies to dampen the impact on transmission tariffs. 

The learning objectives of the webinar are:
- To understand the nature of the financing challenge for European electricity TSOs,
- To analyse the impact of significant volumes of investment on the long-term financial sustainability of TSOs,
- To reflect on the potential for a set of alternative financing strategies to dampen the impact on costs for network users.
