Shaping an effective and efficient European markte for renewable energy

01.07.2009 - 31.12.2011
Research funding project
The work will be based on a comprehensive database on the current policies, on deployment and costs of renewable energies in EU MS. Existing indicators measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of national instruments will be updated and significantly extended to include information on the market status per MS, on RES in the electricity, heat and transport sector, on costs for grid and system services and risks associated with RES investments. Best practice policies will be derived and innovative instruments will be proposed to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of instruments, to improve compatibility of RES policies with the internal market, emission trading and innovation policy. Options for flexibility between MS, will be analysed in detail. The future deployment of RES in each MS will be calculated based on the Green-X model to assist MS in implementing national action plans and to support a long term vision of the European RES policy. The latter will be based on an in-depth analysis of the long term RES potentials and costs. The impact of policies on risks for RES financing will be analysed and improved policies and financing instruments will be proposed. The project will be embedded in an intense and interactive dissemination framework consisting of regional and topical workshops, expert talks with MS, and a final conference.
