An interregional partnership for solar energy and smart specialisation is currently working on 4 different projects/concepts:

  1. A large-scale sustainable energy technology First of a Kind (FOAK) project: Concentrated Solar power (CSP) Plant, hybridised with Photovoltaic (PV), including storage to provide fully dispatchable power and to allow for more flexible generation.
  2. A research facility for solar technologies.
  3. The promotion of renewable electricity exports from Southern to Central and Northern European countries, by using the Cooperation Mechanisms defined in the EU Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC.
  4. The use of medium temperature solar energy in the agro industry.
