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.
