PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Most EU member states and regions have introduced measures to boost RES generation and storage in their RIS3 regional strategy, national energy strategic plans, and respective regional programmes for Investment for Growth and Jobs, but most EU member states are below their expected RES targets for 2020.
RES are not growing as expected, and states are not seeking new solutions such as energy storage or innovative financial schemes.
The RES sector is requiring new support schemes that can unleash the great potential of private investment by overcoming the financial, legal, and administrative barriers to decentralized investment in both RES generation and storage.
