What we do

The Spanish instrument

As renewable energy will become the main energy sources and a significant share of global energy consumption in the medium to long-term, global support for the development of new renewable energy markets is a key focus of the international activities of SREC. The achievement of consistent demand for solar energy worldwide demands the removal of administrative hurdles and market barriers as well as the introduction of suitable support policies in many countries. We co-operate closely with the main stakeholders  around the world to address these issues.

The Consortium has joined forces with other organisations and counterparts from the international community, as well as with actors from the public sector, including non-governmental entities, and the Academia.
