Financing Renewables: The impact of risks

0

"What risks are influencing investments in renewable energy? How do these differ between EU member states? How can policies be used in order to reduce these risks and stimulate investments?"

3rd DIACORE-CEPS Policy Workshop

Thursday 21 May 2015 – 13:00 to 17:00

The DIACORE project started in April 2013 and is carried out under the Intelligent Energy – Europe programme. The webinar will focus on a common methodology to assess the costs and benefits of deploying renewables in the EU member states. Such an assessment should be based on clear definitions and transparent methodologies in order to avoid sending misleading messages and to allow for a thorough comparison of the effects of different RES deployment pathways.
