European Renewable Energy Export Strategy (EUREES)

Project description

The EUREES project identified the measures that best assist the European Union's renewable energy industries (Wind, Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal, Small Hydro and Biomass) to capture a significant proportion of the world market for Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs).

The individual strategies have been consolidated into a RET Export Masterplan which identifies promotion measures common to all technologies. Contact EREC to receive printed copies of the document. 

For more information, you can also download the "Background Information to the Export Masterplan", where, among others, you find the technology-specific export strategy reports for each of the RETs mentioned above:

Renewable Energy Export Strategy Presentation at the EU Parliament

• The leading position of the EU renewable energy industry on the world market

• Promising future export markets

• Measures needed at EU level to promote renewable energy exports

• Role of renewable energy sources in cooperation with developing countries
