Improving Know-How for the Application of Renewable Energy Technologies

As of: November 2020

The project supported expansion in the renewable energies sector by increasing knowledge about the available resources and awareness of different technologies and their application. To this end, it provided training for the project partners on relevant technologies, and conducted studies. Building on this information, the partners helped to create a political climate which is more favourable for promoting renewable energies and thereby advanced the establishment of a market for renewable energies, especially for wind and solar energy.
