AURES II

AURES II (Auctions for Renewable Energy Support II) aimed to ensure the effective implementation of renewable energy resource (RES) auctions in EU Member States. Building on the findings of the previously completed AURES project, AURES II examined auction design options in detail. New topics were explored, including the implementation of technology-specific versus technology-neutral support systems, exceptions to competitive support allocation for small installations, mandatory cross-border support opening, and special provisions for renewable energy community projects and the impact of auctions on renewable energy financing conditions.
