PAST EVENTS (2013):


Final conference:

On 22 October 2013, the final conference took place in Brussels with the aim to present and discuss key outcomes and recommendations of the assessment of feasible policy pathways for a support of RES (electricity) in Europe beyond 2020. This event served as final public opportunity to provide a critical feedback on our outcomes. We highly appreciated the proactive participation of attendees and the lively discussions that complemented the presentations throughout that day. Thus, we aim to incorporate (as far as feasible) the feedback gained into the final outcomes within this project.

In order to benefit from an active and open discussion, the number of external participants was limited to 110.

Regional dissemination workshops:

Closer to the end of the project, in the second half of 2013, a series of regional dissemination workshops was planned. One took place at Oxford (September 2013), one in Prague (October 2013) and one in Strasbourg (November 2013). The core objective of these regional workshops was to undertake a critical reflection on the draft final results and recommendations of the beyond2020 project. The critical feedback gained has been incorporated into the final work within this project, aiming to deliver a set of finely-tuned and practical policy recommendations on the way forward for RES.

The first regional dissemination workshop took place on 18 September 2013 in Oxford, United Kingdom. At the Oxford event, a broad set of stakeholders (EU and national RES policy-makers, decision-makers from the private sector, academics, and (RES) industry) had the opportunity to discuss the RES policy agenda for tomorrow – from both a national / regional and a European perspective. Thus, in addition to attendees from the UK, key stakeholders from neighbouring countries were also invited to attend this regional workshop in order to ensure the regional dissemination character of the event.

In order to benefit from an active and open discussion, the number of external participants was limited to a maximum of 45.

The second regional dissemination workshop was scheduled for 2 October 2013, taking place in Prague, Czech Republic. Similar to Oxford, at the Prague event a broad set of stakeholders got the opportunity for a critifcal reflection of the RES policy agenda for tomorrow. Additionally to attendees from the Czech Republic, key stakeholders from Central and Eastern Europe were invited to attend this regional workshop.

In order to benefit from an active and open discussion, the number of external participants was limited to a maximum of 30.

The third regional dissemination workshop took place on 20 November 2013, taking place in Strasbourg, France, in order to present and discuss selected key outcomes and recommendations of the assessment of feasible policy pathways for a support of RES (electricity) in Europe beyond 2020.

PAST EVENTS (2012):


The first large-scale event – the mid-term conference – was scheduled for 10 October 2012 in Brussels.

Major results achieved by the middle of the project were presented at this event and discussed with a broad set of stakeholders (EU and national RES policy makers, decision makers from private sector, academics, (RES) industry), assuring a broad representations of the issues discussed. This provided useful input to forthcoming work (e.g. multi-criteria assessment, design of policy pathways) and increase awareness of forthcoming activities within beyond2020.

The timing (October 2012) suited well to offer the interested audience a forum for a (second) reflection on the European Commission’s “RES strategy” published before the summer break. Furthermore this allowed collecting feedback on criteria to evaluate the potential benefits of harmonising RES policy across the EU in the mid- to long-term (beyond 2020).

The mid-term conference was accompanied by two topical workshops in order to deepen the discussion in hot topics for policy makers, key stakeholders, energy agencies, TSO´s, DSO´s, academics and/or electricity generators.

 

The first topical workshop took place on 19 September 2012 in Brussels. This workshop was dedicated to discuss strategic aspects of long-term RES policy design.

The Brussels workshop was designed to be an open discussion forum for a selected target audience – i.e. EU and national RES policy-makers and key stakeholders. This allowed interactive and focused discussions on design elements of harmonized instruments, serving as input for the overall multi-criteria analysis and subsequent policy assessments in accordance with EU Law.

The session was dedicated to discuss the possible policy criteria and present possible harmonization pathways, followed by the introduction to the Multi-Criteria assessment. The various design elements for harmonization instruments were presented as a starting point for discussion.

The second topical workshop was held on 24 October 2012 in Madrid. This workshop was dedicated to discuss the trade-offs and linkages of Electricity Markets and RES-Policies in further detail.

The aim of this workshop was to reflect on key draft findings on the possible interactions between RES support schemes and the general electricity markets, including the overarching question of how electricity markets need to be designed in the future to cope well with an increasing share of fluctuating RES.

The Madrid workshop addressed a broader audience and key experts, including market regulators, energy agencies, TSOs, DSOs, electricity generators and industrial representatives, as well as the scientific community and academia.

The various pathways for harmonization were presented as starting point for discussion followed by key findings on the interaction of RES-Policies and electricity markets highlighting assessment criteria and initial results.
