This section presents both the expected benefits of the project and its long‑term impact. A set of measurable performance indicators defines the successful execution of the project across various domains, while also serving as a guide for the implementation team.
The expected benefits are:
- The contribution to the implementation of the European Commission’s REPowerEU plan, which forms part of the European Green Deal for achieving EU climate neutrality by 2050.
- The strengthening of local and regional systems for electricity supply, heating, and fuel use, as well as the contribution to the adoption of such solutions at the European level.
- The creation of new sustainable jobs linked to local or regional value chains of renewable‑energy systems, and the reinforcement of economic development within local communities across Europe’s regions.
- The enhancement of energy security and autonomy at local and regional level in EU Member States and Associated Countries, taking into account current and future climate conditions.
- The strengthening of the preparedness, reliability, performance, and affordability of local or regional renewable‑energy systems across Europe.
Regarding the long‑term impact of the project:
- The strengthening of Europe’s position as a global leader in affordable, secure, and sustainable renewable‑energy technologies.
- The development of more effective approaches for managing smart and cyber‑secure energy networks, and for optimizing the interaction between producers, consumers, grids, infrastructures, and stakeholders.
