With the overall objective of boosting investments for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Energy Efficiency, 15 peers from Abruzzo (IT), Flevoland (NL), Maramures (RO), Norrbotten (SE), Sofia (BG) and the AER met in Lazio (IT) in order to undertake the 9th Regional Peer Review within the Regions4GreenGrowth INTERREG IVC project.

During the 5-day visit, peers discovered the Region’s large potential for geothermal, solar, biomass, as well as wind energy. In order to harness this potential and achieve Lazio’s burden sharing target (11.9% by 2020), the peers stressed the importance of effective regional strategies for renewable energy and investment: a communication and awareness raising campaign, the creation of an energy cluster or the establishment of DIO scheme to develop renewable energy projects are but some of the recommendations put forward by the international peer team.
