3 Objectives of the RE component Promote grid-connected RE power generation through Support to the development and implementation of gridconnected RE projects through TA Documentation and dissemination of experience with existing and new RE flagship projects TA for improvement of the legal and regulatory environment for RE power generation 28/09/2015 Page 3

4 Improvement of the Legal and Regulatory Framework Support to the development of National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) Country-specific TA for introducing new or improving existing policy instruments to promote grid-connected RE upon request, e.g. RE laws RE feed-in tariffs Tenders for selecting RE IPP project developers Net metering of solar PV 28/09/2015 Page 4
