The Network’s Action Plan • Identify the key EU issues impacting on the renewables
sector in Scotland• Coordinate Scottish presence at key European energy
events • Position Scotland as a leader on renewable• Seek to learn from countries• Identify EU opportunities and partnerships for the
renewables sector in Scotland• Focus on where the group can add value, not duplicating
others efforts• Keep in touch with legislative and other proposals• Group to facilitate information sharing
Influencing Policy • Market liberalisation
• Renewables Directive
• Second Strategic Energy Review
• Strategic Energy Technology Plan– Marine Workshop, Edinburgh, January 2009
Influencing Policy
• CCS
• Offshore grids– Adamowitsch North Sea Grid Working Group
• Energy infrastructure package – up to euro 400 million for Scottish bodies to bid into
• Meetings with the EU Ocean Energy Association
- Input to EU roadmap
- Funding ideas
Marine
• European Joint Research Council workshop, Edinburgh - to explore marine R&D priorities for SET-Plan
• European Sustainable Energy Week workshop - to explore the potential for a strategic marine alliance
.
• Meeting with European Wind
Energy Association• Offshore wind demonstrators
included in proposed EU Recovery Plan package
• European Wind Initiative• Scotland’s Offshore Wind Story:
- All Energy, May
- Stockholm, September
Offshore wind
Grid• November 2008 NSEG pre-scoping study published
• Second Strategic Energy Review
• January 2009 - Adamowitsch visit to Scotland - Scotland
invited to be part of the European Working Group on North
Sea Grid Connections
• Scotland’s proposals presented at the working groups in
Brussels and Marseilles
• €165m in EU Recovery Plan for North Sea Grid
• Irish Scottish Links on Energy Study (ISLES)
• Ministerial study visit to Norway

the potential for a strategic CO2 transport and storage network
• Invitation to the European Commission’s Berlin Forum - present findings of the SCCS study - present ideas on strategic EU projects
• EU funding opportunities for CCS demonstration projects
Carbon Capture and Storage
Tackling policy and administrative barriers• Intelligent Energy for Europe project proposal:
addressing barriers to the development of onshore and offshore wind
generation by developing good practice in reconciling renewable
energy and environmental objectives
• 6 April 2009 – Intelligent Energy project partners meeting in
Brussels
• End of June 2009 – submission of the IEE project proposal
