The status of its implementation
SET Plan status
• Since 2008, joint actions/activities between EU and MSs are becoming an increasing priority
• Three main approaches: 1. ERA-NET Plus for joint calls EU-MSs
2. Multilateral approach for synchronised calls between MSs
3. The use of EERA to implement Joint Research Programmes between national research centres
• The Joint Programming approach will be intensified within Horizon 2020

In the future the SET Plan needs to: • Address more system integration, energy
efficiency, supply chain aspects
• Integrate R&I capacities at EU level from research to market uptake
• Enhance coordination of public and private investments

COM ETI Key principles
Energy
• Buildings and industry to save money, be less dependent on energy prices and more competitive
• More optimal use of the grid, with increased demand side participation, including demand response, brings savings to consumers and benefits to operators
• Market uptake measures crucial to build the capacity of market actors and support innovative financing solutions
(a) Unlocking the full potential of energy efficiency, focusing on end use consumption
COM ETI Key developments (1)
Energy
(b) Delivering solutions for a competitive & sustainable energy system
• Flexibility and security of the European energy system (i.e. electricity grids to take more RES, energy storage)
• Continuity of electricity supply and rationalise demand for infrastructure (e.g. demand response, local flexibility)
• Active consumer participation
• Open and flexible approach to further development of a portfolio of cost effective and sustainable energy solutions
• Interfaces with other sectors (e.g. new material, KET such as ICT, advanced manufacturing processes )
COM ETI Key developments (2)
Energy
• Market uptake measures supporting policy implementation for grids, renewable energy and energy efficiency and • Building the capacity of market actors • Supporting the development of innovative
financing solutions
• Particular focus on cities through Smart Cities and Communities • Innovation at the intersection of energy,
transport and ICT • Demonstrate commercial scale urban
solutions
(c) Fostering innovation in real environments

Energy
• SET Plan as the core strategy to deliver on the energy challenge - provides the reference point for EU, national, regional and private investments in energy R&I
• However, needs reinforcing, to respond to the new challenges such as system integration, industrial leadership, new and emerging technologies and to better consolidate R&I capacity and resources across Europe

Implementing Actions
• Integrated Roadmap
• Action Plan
• Robust reporting system
• A new coordination structure under the SET plan SG on energy efficiency
• New competences: e.g. non-technological barriers
• External Dimension

Integrated Roadmap
"To address energy system and innovation chain integration, an Integrated Roadmap should be developed, under the guidance of the SET Plan Steering Group [… ] consolidate the (up dated) technology roadmaps of the SET Plan while retaining the technology specificities [… ] cover the entire research and innovation chain [… ] identify clear roles and tasks for the various stakeholders …"

Toward an Integrated Roadmap
Energy
Background
Objective:
• Prioritise the development of innovative solutions which will respond to the needs of the European energy system by 2020, 2030 and beyond
• Concretely it will put forward key research and innovation actions to be undertaken in the next 6 years, through:
• A challenge-based approach for the content
• Cover the entire R&I chain (Actions and Actors)
• Bring R&I and energy policy more closely together
• An expert-based, open and transparent approach for its making

The Action Plan
Energy
Guiding Principles – COM ETI
The Action Plan will:
• lay down coordinated and/or joint investments by individual Member States, between Member States and with the EU for the implementation of the Integrated Roadmap.
• These investments should go beyond grant programmes and include financial engineering instruments and procurements.
• The Action Plan will follow a flexible approach and contain different modes of implementation such as alignment of Member States and EC funding on priorities identified in the Integrated Roadmap and joint investments between Member States or/and with the European Union.
• It should cover institutional funding and research capacities of European Energy Research Alliance (EERA).
è Expected to be released in the course of 2015.
