The document will have two parts: first it will delineate the roadmap (strategy based on a set of action-points) to exploit and disseminate PROSEU’s results, even after the project ends. The second part will describe and analyse IPR protection in relation to PROSEU’s outputs and results. D8.4 will become an annex to the Plan for the Exploitation and Dissemination of Results.

Mapping and characterization of renewable energy prosumer initiative’s needs, barriers and opportunities

This deliverable will integrate the results of Tasks 2.1 (baseline review) and 2.2 (survey of RE Prosumer initiatives in Europe) to provide a map and characterization of these initiatives in Europe. The deliverable is successful if it provides a quantitative overview of prosumer initiatives in Europe: where they are and how much RE energy they produce, what types of technology are used, data on gender and other sociocultural features of the participants and beneficiaries of the initiatives, what their achievements are (e.g. in terms of energy production or social innovations), their ambitions, what they perceive to be the main barriers (technological, regulatory, political, socio-cultural, financial), and how they deal with issues of participation, inclusiveness (e.g. gender) and transparency.

Report on Prosumers Community of Interest

This report is related to task 8.4. The report will describe how the Community of Interest has been built and involved. The results of its engagement in PROSEU, as well as the results of the application to the EU COST Proposal will be part of the report. The document will consist of maximum 8 pages.

Local, national and EU scenarios

30 local technology scenarios based on the use cases, 28 national technology scenarios and 1 EU technology scenario will be created. The aim of the local scenarios is to assess the impact of prosumers, as well as the potential drivers and barriers in various political and economic frameworks as well as climate conditions. These results will then be upscaled to the 28 national and 1 EU scale scenario. This deliverable is directly linked to Tasks 5.2 and 5.3 and its results are crucial to Task 5.4 and deliverable D5.3. The deliverable can be considered a success if all envisioned scenarios are successfully developed and integrated.

The deliverable is successful if it provides a detailed understanding of the different challenges and opportunities in six Member States concerning the national transposition and implementation of new EU directives and regulations.

A multi-actor typology of prosumer experiences across Europe

This deliverable will report on the results of Task 2.3. Based on a comparative analysis of the data collected through the survey of 150-200 RE Prosumer initiatives in task 2.3, this deliverable will develop a typology of prosumer experiences in Europe, according to different variables to be determined at early stages of WP2, which should include: location, socioeconomic contexts and governance frameworks, types of business and organisational models, new spaces created, economic data (i.e. number of employees, number of beneficiaries, number of jobs created), technologies used, socioeconomic and environmental drivers, barriers and challenges, and incentives.

Policy Brief 2: Participatory governance for the roll-out of the Energy Union

This policy brief is linked mainly to Task 3.4. Policy Brief 2 will provide a synthesis of the findings from focus groups and interviews on the models of participatory governance for the roll-out of the Energy Union in order to inform the development and revision of Member States’ National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). The deliverable is successful if it provides robust information and guidance on how prosumers can participate in the roll-out of the Energy Union.

Synthesis of incentive structures: input for Participatory Integrated Assessment

The deliverable is related to task 6.1. Findings from WP3, 4 and 5 are synthesized. Linking these findings to the typology of prosumer initiatives from WP2, they will be translated into an overview of current (dis)incentive structures, and potentially desirable incentive structures for the future. This will result in a series of 3 briefs, easy to read papers on barriers and opportunities for prosumerism. One paper will address financial (dis)incentives following from e.g. subsidy and tax regimes, feed-in arrangements and technologies. A second paper will address non-financial (dis)incentives following from biases in regulation and procedures, e.g. biases in tendering, requirements for financing schemes, requirements for grid connection etc. A third paper will address (dis)incentives for transparent and inclusive prosumer organisations with specific attention for gender equality. Together, these papers provide the Synthesis report, input for D6.2. The deliverable is successful if it has these three components and provides a consistent overview of current (dis)incentive structures for prosumerism.

Integrated lessons learned for renewable energy prosumer futures across Europe

The final deliverable is related to task 7.3. The report will provide the results of a meta- comparative analysis of the findings of the living lab’s research, by distilling the main lessons learned, the key enabling and constraining factors for prosumers from a bottom-up perspective, the feedback from Living Lab partners on the final integrated assessment of incentive structures (resulting from WP6) and the key recommendations for prosumer initiatives based on the best practices, innovative solutions, models, and decision-making tools that were experimented with the Living Lab partners. The deliverable is successful if it presents a coherent comparative analysis of the Living Lab experiences across Europe and an analysis of the interlinkages between lessons learned through WP7 research and the final integrated assessment of incentive structures.
