Assessment and Dissemination activity on Major Investment Opportunities for Renewable electricity in Europe using the REBUS tool

The ADMIRE REBUS project investigates the interaction of different national policy frameworks in the current European renewable electricity market. Furthermore, the ADMIRE REBUS project aims at reducing investors? uncertainty by creating a framework for identifying risks and opportunities of renewable electricity investments in the EU, and for analysing renewable electricity policy designs.

For this purpose, the project is structured into three different main activities.

• Quantitative analysis of the EU market for green electricity using a dynamic market simulation: the ADMIRE REBUS model. The ADMIRE REBUS model is based on an extensive dataset for the potentials and costs of RES-E technologies in EU-15. The model enables representation of current and expected renewable electricity policies of all Member States in different policy scenarios. This representation is based on a survey of existing and planned RES-E support schemes in EU-15 countries that has been carried out as part of the ADMIRE REBUS project.
• Qualitative analysis of those factors that introduce additional complexity to the investment decisions: risks, transaction costs, lead times. 
• Two rounds of workshops with investors and other stakeholders in the Spring of 2002 and 2003. Information will be provided on the market value of green electricity and investment opportunities

ADMIRE REBUS is partially financed by the European Commission's ALTENER programme.
