This CEER public consultation document (C11-SDE-25-04) examines the Implications of Non-harmonised Renewable Support Schemes. It addresses the existing differences between national support schemes in Europe and other areas of non-harmonisation in electricity markets. The paper consults on the impact these differences may have on investment decisions and on the functioning of national and European wholesale electricity markets.

Following the consultation, CEER will elaborate a conclusions document incorporating stakeholders' responses. This conclusions paper will feed into regulators' further work  in this area and, at a later stage, the European Commission’s progress report required by the Renewables Directive, due by 31 December 2014.

Stakeholders are invited to participate in the public consultation via a dedicated online questionnaire in this section of the CEER website.  

CEER invites all interested stakeholders to provide comments on all aspects of the public consultation document and in particular on the 4 specific questions set out in the consultation document and in the dedicated online questionnaire.

Any comments should be submitted by 6 January 2012 through the dedicated online questionnaire. Please note that the login request to fill in the questionnaire must be made by 3 January 2012.

Following the consultation, CEER will publish all non-confidential responses received. Respondents requesting confidentiality should submit those confidential aspects of their response by marking them as "confidential" in the dedicated online questionnaire.

Any questions on the consultation document and the online consultation should in the first instance be directed to:
