Promoting grid-related incentives for large-scale RES-E integration into the different European electricity systems (GREENNET-INCENTIVES)

The core objective of this project is to promote grid-related incentives for the integration of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES-E) in large-scale into different European electricity systems, to identify existing non-technical barriers for RES-E grid integration, and to actively involve key European market actors (grid companies, RES-E generators, regulators, decision makers) in the discussion process towards “green” electricity grids. This is mainly done by organising expert discussion platforms, a consultation of stakeholders, training/education workshops and summer schools. The major products of this project are tailor-made recommendations and actions plans for several key market actors to establish a common European vision on the implementation of grid-related policies favouring “green” electricity networks. Comprehensive dissemination activities guarantee know-how transfer of project outcomes to European market actors and policy makers in different countries/regions. The GreenNet-Europe simulation software has been extended in geographic terms and updated. It is available on CD-ROM free of charge.
