Policy development for improving RES-H/C penetration in European Member States

01.10.2008 - 31.03.2011
Research funding project
The RES-H Policy project will assist Member State (MS) governments in preparing for the implementation of the forthcoming Directive on Renewables as far as RES-H/C related aspects are concernced. MS will be assisted in setting up national sector specific 2020/2030 RES-H/C targets. Moreover the project will initiate participatory National Policy Processes in which selected policy options to support RES-H/C will be qualitatively and quantitatively assessed. This will result in tailor made policy options and recommendations as to how to best design a support framework for increased RES-H/C penetration in the national heating an cooling markets of some selected MS (AT, GR, LT, NL, PL, UK) - countries that represent a variety in regard of the framework conditions for RES-H/C. On the European level a profound assessment of options for coordinating and harmonising national policy approaches will result in common design criteria for a general EU framework for RES-H/C policies and an overview of costs and benefits of different harmonised strategies.
