A new Strategic Plan is under preparation by the incoming Chairman taking into account the 4 Directions recently defined by the Technical Committee and the evolution of the Electric Power Industry. It will be posted as soon as it is vaidated.

The past Stategic Plan:

Taking into account the Cigre Master plan 1999-2009, the TC Strategic Plan 1998-2008, our Strategic plan defines our mid to long term goals:

- to contribute effectively to the progress in insulated cable systems technology,
- to facilitate the integration of insulated cable systems in electric power networks, and in the environment, covering the complete life cycle of cables,
- to maintain its leading position in the field of power cables by providing unbiased and neutral information on all essential cable aspects,
- to be recognised by the Electric Power Industry as a leading and reliable partner with competence in all engineering issues related to insulated cable systems, i.e. technical, economical, and social,
- to monitor and assess current trends in cable technology,
- to promote advancements in cable technology.

The main factors taken into consideration in the preparation of strategic plan were
- The critical importance of engineering competence.
- The operating structures of the SC (WGs and TFs) .
- The interactions with other CIGRE SCs.
- The evolution of the electric power industry.
