The integrated SET-Plan will play a central role in a new European energy research and innovation (R&I) approach designed to accelerate the energy system transformation.
According to the Strategic Energy Technologies Information System (SETIS), the new integrated European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) defines the most recent EU research and innovation strategy for the coming years.
It will provide the overall framework for promoting strengthened cooperation in R&I between the EU, Member States and stakeholders (research and industry), in order to step up the efforts to bring new, efficient and cost-competitive low-carbon technologies faster to the market and deliver the energy transition in a cost-competitive way, SETIS’ press release reads.
In particular, the integrated SET-Plan:
A communication addressing the European energy system transformation and the role of the SET-Plan will be adopted beginning of September, 2015.
