During the Kick-Off Workshops the medium and long term perspectives for the integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the 9 SUSPLAN regions were discussed. Afterwards the regional results of the modeling and analysis performed in the SUSPLAN project have been discussed.

Topics addressed during the workshops include:

• What role can RES play in the different regions in a perspective up to 2050?
• How can this RES deployment be integrated into the region’s energy infrastructure?
• To what capacity would future energy infrastructure need to be reinforced?
• What infrastructure bottlenecks exist and must be overcome to integrate RES into the energy system more efficiently?

The SUSPLAN partners presented the results focusing on medium (2030) and long term (2050) perspectives and discussed them in 9 workshops with regional stakeholders from the energy sector. The presentations of the workshops can be accessed below.
