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.
