RES4LESS is initiated in 2011 under the European Union’s Intelligent Energy- Europe Programme and is sponsored by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI). The project aims to develop cost effective deployment of RES in the period up to 2020 and 2030 by making use of cross-border cooperation mechanisms, as described in the Renewable Energy Directive
RES4LESS will focus on the surplus RES potentials and how these can be exploited by using the cooperation mechanisms as joint support schemes and joint projects. DTU leads a WP that addresses and compares the barriers and solutions for successful cooperation. The design of cooperation mechanisms is analysed with emphasis on the RES potentials in wind energy, biomass and solar energy in EU27. Regional and bilateral project cooperation as well as joint support schemes for individual technologies are among the promising design options covered. This kind of cooperation could considerably bring down the RES target compliance costs for EU in 2020 and provide addition low-cost resources for RES expansion beyond 2020.
