“INTER PARES” will pursue a series of specific objectives that will as a whole contribute to the achievement of European policy objectives in the field of renewable energy. In particular, the proposed action aims at support Local Authorities in implementing and developing policies and strategies on RES-e in the participating countries promoting and exchanging experiences of EU, national and local concrete solutions.
At present, all MS recognise the importance of ensuring increased market penetration of electricity produced from renewable energy sources (i.e. RES-e). In order to trigger  new RES-e investments it is fundamental to reduce the regulatory and non-regulatory barriers which block the increase in electricity production from renewable Energy sources.
Many initiatives can be taken, especially by local authorities, in order to promote RES-e production and to accelerate deployment of RES-e technologies. Nevertheless, most of the local authorities’ capacity of enabling policies and strategies on RES-e remains unexploited: pre-existing RES-e policies must be streamlined and expedited and innovative local plans can be still implemented.
