Tendering procedures for RES in Europe: State of play and first lessons learnt
This CEER report (C17-SD-60-03) presents the state of play on RES tendering schemes in
Europe. In particular, it is intended to provide insight to policymakers on the various
competitive bidding procedures for determining the level of support for RES, notably by
presenting the different design options selected and providing a first assessment of the
schemes in selected Member States.
This report should be read in the context of the current revision of the EU’s Renewable
Energy Directive under the "Clean Energy for All Europeans" legislative package proposals
of November 2016. With this revision, transparent, competitive, non-discriminatory and costeffective
principles are almost certainly to become the standard criteria for RES support
schemes across Europe.
