Within the SIreNERGY project, Leartibai Foundation and Basque Energy Agency consider The Basque Country Energy Strategy (3E2030) as their policy instrument.

The intent is to make a change in the management of the instrument as sometimes the development of initiatives at the local level, especially in rural areas, faces barriers related to the societal acceptance of specific projects. This issue has not been studied in depth, and it may be the driver to the deployment of the strategy. Both partners are willing to understand how they can improve social acceptance on how to develop and distribute the energy generation projects in general and self-consumption in particular.

The Regional Development Strategy for Blekinge County 2015-2025 (RUS) is indicative for the work on sustainable regional development. The actuality of the strategy is tested every four years. A growing place needs growing power. For the resident, it is about opportunities for improved quality of life and attractive living environments.

REASON FOR IMPROVEMENT
The policy will be tested every fourth year and renewed every tenth. Input to these revisions is key to improve the strategy. The policy instrument lack of actions for local electricity production, renewing and strengthen the electrical grid. Transnational learnings and capacity building through SIreNERGY will give input to next version of the RUS and strengthen the roadmap to reach the regional goals of s strengthened energy transition
