Description

Since the first two International Conferences held in 2004 (Brussels, Belgium) and in 2006 (Napa Valley, USA), the Spring 2007 European Energy Council has set very ambitious targets for the European Union to be met by 2020:
- A binding target of 20% of total energy consumption being renewable energy (7% in 2007), resulting in 35%-45% of power generation coming from renewable according to the lastest European prospective scenarios;
- An urgent need to increase energy efficiency in the EU in order to reduce by 20% the EU’s energy consumption projected for 2020.
With higher and higher fossil fuel prices, this political roadmap provide the context for Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Indeed, many of the renewable energy sources are distributed, including new energy efficiency solutions such as combined generation of heat and power.
The Third International Conference on Renewable and DER integration is to be held in Nice in December 2008. It will address technical, market, and regulatory issues as a prerequisite to prepare massive DER integration into power grids, thus leaning on a continuous dialogue between all the
involved players. The conference will gather scientists, utility operators, manufacturers, regulators, and policy makers.
During these three days, the floor is given to experts and program managers from Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific regions, in order to debate about the hottest DER integration issues.
