WEI Policy Forum

We’re delighted to announce that the WEI Policy Forums will make their return on the 14^th of June in the Hilton Kilmainham from 10.00 – 14.00. The forum will kick-off at 10.00, with expert presentations on the key elements of the REPowerEU package, published by the European Commission 18^th of May, followed by a Q&A discussion session. A light lunch will be provided from 13.00 – 14.00.

The Policy Forum will put a particular focus on both the planning and markets implications of the proposals. We will discuss:

• The Commission’s Communication on “Short-Term Energy Market Interventions and Long-Term Improvements to the Electricity Market Design – a course for action”.

• The new legislative proposals on the Renewable Energy Directive which increase the 2030 target to 45% and introduce the concepts of “renewables go-to areas” and “the overriding public interest” for renewable energy projects.

• The Commission’s Recommendations and Guidance on speeding up permit-granting procedures for renewable energy projects and facilitating Power Purchase Agreements
