  1. EnR Renewable Energy Working Group Aims, Objectives Principles Evaluation Workplan

  2. EnR REWG Aim • The aim of the Working Group is to contribute to the implementation of R.E. strategies in the European Union and in the Member States by providing a leading forum for communication and co-operation. • Founded in 1998

  3. Principles • provide added value to national activities, avoiding areas covered by other international networks. • provide the combined expertise and capabilities of EnR members to the European Commission and other institutions

  4. REWG Principles (continued) • primarily concentrate on generic renewable energy issues (i.e. cross-technology, cross-sectoral issues) of widespread interest. • the REWG will not act as a lobby group. It should not try to influence policy, but should feel able to provide technical advice on different policy options, based on the experience of member countries.

  5. Objectives (1) • act as the working group of EnR in the field of renewable energy, focusing on cross-technology issues. • act in support of the Member States and the European Commission, facilitating communication and the exchange of information. • act as a focus for strengthening co-operation between Member States

  6. Objectives (2) • help Member State authorities and the Commission identify common barriers to the uptake of renewable energy and assist them to find solutions to these. • identify best practice in the deployment of renewable energy and seek its wider dissemination.

  7. General Program of Work • Meet twice a year with a small workshop • Topics: • Monitor and analyse implementation • Spreading best Practice (->REACT) • Incentives to increase market uptake • Legislation • Financial, ... • Directive on R.E. electricity • Renewable heat • Research and Development (ERA)

  8. Strategic Impact • Knowledge on RE policies and effect in other EU countries by info exchange • Utilisation at national level • Access to most up to date information • On EU level • Support to directives (liquid biofuel, heat) • EU BAP

  9. Joint Projects • REACT • Ener Iure • Mure

  10. Assessment • Benefits: Up to date information on implementation, progress, hurdles in all renewable energy areas. • Success: the React project to realise recommendations • Problems: • .Participants have very limited resources, and are limited to a maximum of a few meetings a year of 1 to 2 days. So real projects only start when funding for a project is available and the REWG was able to achieve this with the REACT project • .It is very difficult to get new member on board and especially: Enova from Norway, ENEA from Italy and DEA from Denmark and from the new members states. • They are most welcome to participate.

  11. Future 1 - 2 year • continue with the REWG in the same way: • realise a new proposal in the EIE call: Renewable Heat and Energy Transition • Support the Commission in the development of the Biomass Action Plan • Focus on the Renewable Heat directive for Europe in 2006 • Focus on the evaluation of the Renewable Electricity directive in 2005 and 2006

  12. Future Long Term • Work in closer contact with the national Ministries. Situations differ from country to country, but often the agencies support the Ministries in monitoring and policy development, so the EnR REWG could work in more direct contact with the Ministries and have them also involved in the Meetings and workshops

  13. Comments Full EnR • Go ahead • Specify more specifically the results
