The JREC focuses on international, regional, and national political initiatives that help fostering an enabling environment for the promotion of renewable energy. Members are equally committed to identifying and removing financing gaps & obstacles, including obstacles for the effective delivery of existing – but often untapped – public and private resources needed to develop and strengthen renewable energy markets. The needs of developing country members are given particular prominence.

JREC is develops its priorities and actions through informal high-level conferences and meetings, where appropriate adding dedicated sessions on to international conferences and meetings covering the broader energy debate to avoid duplication and overlaps. Such events serve as a high-level platform to discuss concerted actions where appropriate and to increase the regional and international awareness of the actions undertaken by pro-active governments. The latter also allows Members to attract attention from the finance and business community. Activities are developed in close partnership and with the support of a broad stakeholder community, including business, NGOs and academia.

• JREC Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database

  JREC Members particularly acknowledge that time-bound targets are important instruments to express a government’s vision and to develop and implement integrated policies.

  Members acknowledge, however, that the respective member-governments are best placed to develop and adopt ambitious national or regional time-bound targets. To find out more about the currently adopted policies and measures adopted by our JREC Members, you can visit the on-line which is being developed in partnership with the International Energy Agency.

• Global Renewable Energy Fund of Funds

  The European Commission is sponsoring the development of an innovative public-private financing mechanisms to enhance access to affordable risk capital by renewable energy business and project developers. Following the conclusion of a feasibility study, experts proposed to develop a Global Renewable Energy Fund of Funds. The GREFF should help closing the financing gap for developing renewable energy markets and services world-wide.

  The European Commission will soon launch a call for proposals to hire a professional fund management team to implement to recommendations of the feasibility completed in November 2004 with a view of establishing a Global Renewable Energy Fund of Funds. The JREC secretariat encourages the development of additional innovative financing initiatives through associated partnerships and IFIs.
