WORKSHOP ON INTERRELATIONS AND MUTUAL REINFORCING SYNERGIES BETWEEN EE AND RES

CONCEPT

The goal of the workshop is to create a common understanding regarding the complex interplay and possible synergies between the EE and RES potentials in the contest of a transition towards a low carbon economy, integrating the latest expertise on the matter. On that basis, EU-ASE will be able to define a common and argument-based narrative and subsequently assess strategic partnerships with RES organisations at EU and national level, in a view of setting up a strong and unified coalition of stakeholders willing to push for decarbonization agenda.

The workshop should provide inputs on the following questions:

(i) State of play: what is the relation between EE and RES? How do they interact?

(ii) Are there trade-offs between EE and RES?

(iii) How would combined and mutually reinforced policies impact on the EU long term objective to decarbonise the economy?
