advice on policy proposals on EU level to reach the goals for 2010 given by the White Paper on RES (European Commission, 1997) - i.e. 12% share of RES on total Communities energy consumption - and the RES-E Directive (European Union, 2001) - i.e. 22.1% share of RES-E;

-

to demonstrate the consequences of a non-harmonised approach (starting in individual countries) versus a harmonised approach (starting with a harmonised policy on an EU-wide level, e.g. a quota system).

Final report of the project Green-X: (comprehensive - 2.9MB)

Action plan for deriving dynamic RES-E policies - Green-X: (compressed - 1MB)

-

It assists policy makers to find efficient and effective strategies for improving RES-E generation and to assess the impact of the strategy regarding RES-E deployment, costs and benefits for society;

-

It helps investors to assess the available potential, market prices and trends;

-

It allows stakeholders to derive economically efficient portfolios in liberalised electricity markets under the constraints of RES-E development and GHG reduction.

Proceedings from the Final Conference & all Dissemination Workshops: All proceedings from the international final conference (Brussels, 23^rd of September 2004) and the dissemination workshops (Vienna, 15^th of September 2004 - Brussels, 23^rd of September 2004 - Madrid, 28^th of September 2004) are available online!

The toolbox Green-X: This paper provides a summary of the developed computer-model and its database - representing a tool for comparative and quantitative analysis of interactions between RES-E, CHP, DSM activities and GHG-reduction within the liberalised electricity sector both for the EU as a whole and individual Member States over time by simulating different scenarios. It clearly describes structure and elements, functionality, required inputs, delivered outputs, etc.

Modelling risks of renewable energy investments: This report depicts the final outcomes of work package 2 (WP 2). It mainly deals with (the modelling of) risks associated with investments in renewable energy technologies.

Analysis of Trade-offs between different support mechanism: This report is in conformity with work package 4 (WP 4). It provides the insights gained from the theoretical analysis of the policy interactions between the areas of activity (RES-E, CHP, DSM and GHG-reduction).

Integrated policy analysis of DSM & CHP & GHG & RES-E schemes in EU-15 countries: This report represents the final outcome of the policy analysis undertaken within WP 3. It provides a sound review on policy schemes as applied in EU-15 countries with respect to the promotion of DSM & CHP & GHG-reduction & RES-E.

Review of existing electricity quality label systems in the European Union: This report represents the first outcome of the policy analysis undertaken within WP 3. It provides a sound review on electricity labelling systems as they exist today.

Mid-term Workshop proceedings: All proceedings from the international mid-term workshop which took place on the 23^rd of September 2003 at EREC's 'Renewable Energy House' in Brussels are available now!

Dynamic cost-resource curves: This report represents the initial outcome of the data collection undertaken within WP 1. It summarises the general methodology applied for the derivation of dynamic cost-resource curves (for RES-E, conventional electricity and DSM) and describes the core elements of the database used in the toolbox Green-X

Green-X - Introduction: A short introduction on the project Green-X is given in this paper.
