  1. ? Background: 27 November 2007, FREDS EU Network became the Scottish EU Energy Network. Main objective: To raise Scotland’s profile in Europe ? ?

  2. The Network’s Action Plan • Identify the key EU issues impacting on the renewables sector in Scotland • Coordinate Scottish presence at key European energy events • Position Scotland as a leader on renewable • Seek to learn from countries • Identify EU opportunities and partnerships for the renewables sector in Scotland • Focus on where the group can add value, not duplicating others efforts • Keep in touch with legislative and other proposals • Group to facilitate information sharing

  3. Influencing Policy • Market liberalisation • Renewables Directive • Second Strategic Energy Review • Strategic Energy Technology Plan • Marine Workshop, Edinburgh, January 2009

  4. Influencing Policy • CCS • Offshore grids • Adamowitsch North Sea Grid Working Group • Energy infrastructure package – up to euro 400 million for Scottish bodies to bid into

  5. Marine • European Joint Research Council workshop, Edinburgh • - to explore marine R&D priorities for SET-Plan • European Sustainable Energy Week workshop - to explore the potential for a strategic marine alliance • . • Meetings with the EU Ocean Energy Association - Input to EU roadmap - Funding ideas

  6. Offshore wind • Meeting with European Wind Energy Association • Offshore wind demonstrators included in proposed EU Recovery Plan package • European Wind Initiative • Scotland’s Offshore Wind Story: - All Energy, May - Stockholm, September

  7. Grid • November 2008 NSEG pre-scoping study published • Second Strategic Energy Review • January 2009 - Adamowitsch visit to Scotland - Scotland invited to be part of the European Working Group on North Sea Grid Connections • Scotland’s proposals presented at the working groups in Brussels and Marseilles • €165m in EU Recovery Plan for • North Sea Grid • Irish Scottish Links on Energy Study • (ISLES)

  8. Carbon Capture and Storage • Ministerial study visit to Norway • Scottish Centre for Carbon Storage study • European Sustainable Energy Week – workshop to explore the potential for a strategic CO2 transport and storage network • Invitation to the European • Commission’s Berlin Forum • - present findings of the SCCS • study • - present ideas on strategic EU • projects • EU funding opportunities for • CCS demonstration projects

  9. Tackling policy and administrative barriers • Intelligent Energy for Europe project proposal: addressing barriers to the development of onshore and offshore wind generation by developing good practice in reconciling renewable energy and environmental objectives • 6 April 2009 – Intelligent Energy project partners meeting in Brussels • End of June 2009 – submission of the IEE project proposal
