Content of Presentation
  • What do we mean by Renewable Energy?
  • Why is this important to LEADER ?
  • The Challenges
  • Transnational Cooperation and Added Value.
  • Developing a LEADER Network

3
What do we mean by Renewable Energy?
  • Renewable sources of energy are those that do
    not run out they tap the natural energy flows
    of the planet, such as water, wind and sunlight.

4
What do we mean by Renewable Energy?
  • Bioenergy
  • Small Scale Hydro
  • Solar
  • Voltaic
  • Thermal
  • Wind Energy
  • Geothermal
  • Other Renewables
  • Rational Use of Energy

5
What do we mean by Renewable Energy?
  • Focusing on Bioenergy
  • Biogas (Electricity Heat Production)
  • Biofuels (for Transport)
  • Woodfuels (for Domestic, Industrial Heating CHP)

6
Why is this important to LEADER
  • Central to European Commission Energy and
    Environment Policy.
  • Overlapping objectives with LEADER
  • Building Sustainable Communities
  • Using the LEADER method
  • This is a growth area within Rural Development
  • It makes economic, social and environmental sense
    at local level.

7
Why is this important to LEADER
  • Renewable Energy cuts across the LEADER themes
  • The use of new technologies
  • Making best use of Natural and cultural resources
  • Improving quality of life
  • Adding value to local produce
  • LEADER has links to both Community and Private
    Enterprise interests.

Nature of LEADER involvement in Ireland
  • Stimulating the Sector through Training and
    promotion
  • Feasibility Assessment/Technical Support
  • Capital Grant Assistance
  • Network Development

Strength of LEADER as a vehicle for supporting
Renewable Energy
  • Provides the space to take risks
  • Contacts at community level
  • Part of European network
  • Bringing together a broad range of actors and
    expertise at local level
  • Integrated into broader Rural Development
  • LEADER companies administer other programmes
  • The LEADER method is proven and gaining currency

  • Renewable Energy is a growing priority within the
    EU.
  • There is a substantial learning to be shared
    between member states.

14
Proposed European LEADER Network
  • This project will facilitate the exchange of
    practical experience, technical know how and
    co-operation opportunities in Renewable energy
    among LEADER groups throughout the EU.
