Overview

Building on and complementing running national and EU activities, REALISE-Forum aims to:

• identify existing barriers for a possibly coordinated European RES support scheme;
• initiate an organised dialogue of various stakeholders to discuss steps on the way to future incentive schemes compatible with market criteria, sustainability and social acceptability;
• create a platform for various stakeholders to discuss in a balanced way specific support policy issues and promote the exchange of information and experience;
• draw recommendations for future policymaking.

The project is managed by a joint contact point based in Berlin and by 5 national desks in the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Slovenia and Norway. These are responsible to initiate a dialogue with national key actors on the adopted RES support system and to estimate costs and benefits of a TGC system in comparison to other support measures.

The results of the consultations should flow into the REALISE-forum platform for a wider dissemination. Valuable input and advice should come from a steering group whose members include decision makers and experts from the key actors and target groups also from countries such as the UK and Belgium that have already adopted green certificates, but are not present in the consortium. This group should also be joined by co-ordinators of related EU-projects.
