Electrifying Europe the power of Europe in the construction of electricity networks

Combining a wide array of rarely used sources, this book unravels how engineers, industrialists, and policymakers gained support for building an interconnected European system, achieved by 1995. The empirical chapters show how ideas of European cooperation in general became intertwined with network planning during the Interwar period, although the Depression and WWII prevented an European network from being constructed. The subsequent chapters describe the influence of the Marshall Plan on European network-building, focusing on both its economic and military aspects. The last chapter portrays.

  • "This book sets out to uncover the origins of the idea of a European electricity network. It explores historically the roots of a transnational European system, showing how engineers came to think in terms of "Europe" already in the 1920s, and how this ideas continued to influence network-building in later decades.\r\nCovering the period between 1918 and 2001, the book provides a detailed analysis of ideas on, and the building of, an European electricity system."
