Several RE technologies have now advanced well beyond the R&D stage, but have only partially reached the stage of fully competitive production in the open market.

Market forces alone will not be sufficient to increase the market penetration of RE technologies toward large-scale deployment.

The project will provide excellent opportunities to promote RE technologies in Europe and overseas, to disseminate the latest state of the art of RE technologies, to strengthen their marketability, and to increase their market share relative to conventional power generation techniques, as well as to encourage future R&D efforts.
