Development of regional and Pan-European guidelines for more efficient integration of renewable energy into future infrastructures

Development of regional and Pan-European guidelines for more efficient integration of renewable energy into future infrastructures

SUSPLAN (PLANing for SUStainability) is a project initiated in 2008 that aims at bringing awareness to and solutions for the coming environmental and energy challenges facing the European community.

In doing such, SUSPLAN focuses heavily over the next three years on developing strategies, recommendations, and benchmarks for the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) by 2030-2050 within a Europe-wide context. To this aim, SUSPLAN exercises a multi-dimensional approach by assembling policy, business, economic, environmental, and energy professionals together towards addressing the following objectives:

• Develop grid-based RES integration scenarios for regional and transnational (European) levels. A region is defined in SUSPLAN as a physical area which may be (part of) one single country or (parts of) several countries. The system boundaries are either geographically defined or designated by specific energy infrastructures;
• Evaluate and compare results from each scenario to identify the optimal path for RES integration into future infrastructures, with consideration for security issues and economic competitiveness;
• Establish implementation strategies for decision makers at a regional and transnational level by generalising results and experiences from the RES integration scenario studies;
• Establish a knowledge base on which to implement subsequent SUSPLAN findings or recommendations; and Publish SUSPLAN work for decision-makers and related professionals at the regional, national and European levels via workshops, reports, and online resources.
