This regional project focuses on building competencies and providing up-to-date knowledge on innovative technological solutions for the electricity sector in the Western Balkans. Technological progress is amplified by enhancing the regulatory framework for an increased use of RE. In addition, the project aims to create the basic awareness for the need to establish appropriate education and training opportunities for a RE based energy transition among the relevant organisations.
