Baltic Sea: Developing a Regional Cooperation for Renewables in the Electricity Sector
While our overall objective remains that all member states of the European Union should combine their potential, these examples show that there will probably be regional approaches as a starting point. In this paper we therefore take a closer look at a region that could be a pioneer for regional cooperation in the EU: the Baltic Sea Region. As the first region with a European Union regional cooperation initiative – the EU Baltic Sea initiative – and with a long-lasting tradition of cooperation, this region could play an essential role in showing the EU the way forward by sharing their large potential of diverse renewable energy sources.
In his report, Mats Abrahamsson from the think-tank factwise in Stockholm examines the already existing cooperation mechanisms in the Baltic Sea region and analyzes how well they function and how they could be developed further to fully use the regional renewable energy potential. We hope that with this paper we can contribute to the discussions on how regional cooperation can help pave the way for a new European energy system based on 100 % renewables.
