The coordinators, nominated by the European Commission, will offer strategic support and practical advice, including assessing obstacles; bringing interested parties together to work out optimal solutions; assessing the impact of the projects, and devising appropriate implementation strategies. The Coordinators will report annually on the progress achieved in each project.

The four coordinators are Wladyslaw Mielczarski – responsible for the Northern European Powerlink, Georg Wilhelm Adamowitsch – who will oversee the offshore wind project, Mario Monti – who will deal with the France-Spain power connection and Jozias van Aartsen – in charge of the Nabucco gas pipeline project.
