On 10 March 2015, the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) held a thematic dialogue on the development and transfer of technology in distributed renewable energy (RE) generation and integration. The thematic dialogue took place as part of the 10th meeting of the TEC.
The overall objective of the thematic dialogue was to support the TEC in identifying and generating policy perspectives, options, mechanisms and measures to enhance the development and transfer of technology in distributed RE generation and integration. The dialogue thus helps the TEC prepare TEC Brief and policy key messages and/or recommendations to Parties with a view to increasing the share of distributed RE and enhancing pre- and post-2020 mitigation action..
The thematic dialogue included the presentation of a background paper to provide an accurate, objective and up-to-date assessment of the current situation, as well as two case studies to bring practical perspectives and views from the ground. The dialogue also addressed specific themes surrounding distributed RE generation and integration, by having experts providing their initial views. This was followed by work in break-out groups tasked to deepen the consideration of the issues by responding to guiding questions. The four themes were: future of distributed RE generation and integration; technological challenges and policy options to overcome these; financial pespective and challenges; capacity-building.
