Contract Number: EIE/08/517/SI Project Duration: 07/2009 – 12/2011Date: February 2012 Shaping an effective and efficient European renewable energy market (RE-Shaping)

Contract Number: EIE/08/517/SI Project Duration: 07/2009 – 12/2011Date: February 2012 Shaping an effective and efficient European renewable energy market RE-Shaping Objectives: Derivation of effective and efficient policies supporting renewable energies in a liberalised European energy market and assisting EU Member States in the implementation of the RES Directive for Project's website: / Geographical coverage: EU-27

Contract Number: EIE/08/517/SI Project Duration: 07/2009 – 12/2011Date: February 2012 Policy needs: Monitoring of existing support instruments for RES and modelling of main policy alternatives is crucial for the future policy development. Unbiased and scientifically robust analysis is needed in a sometimes controversial discussion on the optimal support strategy. Target group: National and European policy makers, renewable branch organisations, RES generators, energy consumers and suppliers Who benefits? ► National and European policy makers gaining critical insight into the success and potentials for improvement of their support systems. ► European energy consumers will benefit due to lower prices and higher RES deployment.

Contract Number: EIE/08/517/SI Project Duration: 07/2009 – 12/2011Date: February 2012 Objectives:  Analyse the effectiveness and the efficiency of current and future RES support schemes.  Identify current best practices and assess (future) costs of RES and the corresponding support necessary to initiate stable growth.  Analyse and promote better integration of RES policies with climate & innovation policy and liberalised energy markets.  Analyse options for flexibility and cooperation between Member States.  The future deployment of RES in each MS is 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.  Analyse the impact of policies on risks for RES financing and propose improved more risk-conscious policies.

Contract Number: EIE/08/517/SI Project Duration: 07/2009 – 12/2011Date: February 2012 How?  Statistical analysis of historical data / development of quantitative indicators for success and failure of RES support schemes  Profitability analysis of investments in RES projects  Stakeholder consultation – internet based and by personal contacts  Analytical analysis of market and policy interactions  Quantitative analysis of the costs and benefits of present and future policy options based on the techno-economic model Green-X

Contract Number: EIE/08/517/SI Project Duration: 07/2009 – 12/2011Date: February 2012 Expected results:  Clear empirical insights into the present success and failures to support RES in Europe on Member State level.  Quantitative results on the costs and benefits of future policy options such optimised national and coordinated policy options based on the techno-economic model Green-X.  Detailed definition of best practice criteria for renewable energy support schemes and policy integration.  Stakeholder involvement through in-depth expert talks with Member States officials and market actors.  Recommendations and action plan on optimisation of RES policy measures to support policy makers on European and national level.
