Lessons learnt
Although the project has not been completed it is possible to draw the following preliminary conclusions:
-
The effectiveness as well as the economic efficiency of support measures for RES-E in Europe is very heterogeneous across Member States. The most effective instruments often tend to be very successful with respect to their economic efficiency as well.
-
Among the key barriers hampering a faster development of RES-E in Europe administrative and regulative obstacles as well as grid connection barriers are most relevant.
-
In the short to mid term the highest efficiency gains with respect to RES-E support can be achieved through an optimisation and a regional coordination of national policy measures.
