Results

MED-DESIRE expected results are:

  • Strengthened capacity of public administrations and regional institutions
  • Higher and more diffused competences of local technicians and professionals, facilitating the removal of the main technical barriers for distributed solar technology
  • Innovative tailored financial mechanisms and market stimulation instruments designed to support the widespread diffusion of solar energy technologies
  • Strengthened participatory approaches and increased awareness among public and private local stakeholders
  • A wide consensus achieved among public and private key stakeholders on the central role of renewable energies for sustainable development and environmental protection
  • A co-operation framework established among providers of energy technologies and services in EU Mediterranean Countries and Mediterranean Member Countries (MPC) to foster the development of a sustainable common energy market

To reach these goals, MED-DESIRE provides the following activities:

  • Benchmarking of national/regional policies and programmes focused on solar energy and energy efficiency
  • Analysis of current certification procedures for solar energy technologies in MPC and EU regions
  • Elaboration of recommendations and action plans for improving legislative and regulatory frameworks
  • Capacity building initiatives for solar energy technicians and professionals to ensure the quality of components and installations
  • Training sessions for policy-makers in charge of solar energy regulation
  • Elaboration of innovative financial and market stimulus instruments
