The European Commission recently published a working document titled, “Guidance on the use of renewable energy cooperation mechanisms” as part of a broader publication on “Guidance to Member States on state intervention in electricity markets”.  There is a focus in the document of promoting more Europe-wide support systems and improving cooperation mechanisms.  There was also mention of the need to increase cost-efficiency.
