NRG2peers policy recommendations for decision makers

As part as Task 6.5, D6.5 will recollect all the regulatory and legislative barriers as well as the practical shortcomings experienced during the implementation of NRG2peers (as identified in T2.4 and T5.3 as well as 6.8) in each pilot site country and it will assess/evaluate them against the background of relevant EU legislation. Building upon the findings of a series of interviews with key stakeholders and decision-makers, this task will allow a deeper understanding of the said barriers in order to determine if and how they could possibly be addressed at EU and national level. The outcome of the analysis will be two-fold:1.a set of policy recommendations on how EU policies could contribute to overcome the barriers and shortcomings which have been experienced at country level. 2.where EU regulations and legislation are adequate, a set of policy and legislative recommendations on how national legislators should transpose the EU regulations and legislation into national legislation, to enable and stimulate the development of local energy communities. A draft version of the policy recommendations will be available for review to all partners at least a month before the final European event (T6.8). During the final event, the policy recommendations will be presented and discussed with policy makers and other stakeholders. The event will thus serve as a first informal validation of the policy recommendations in order to gather relevant feedback which will be included in the final version of D6.6 (M36)
