European Islands Network on Energy and Environment

The STORIES project started on the 1^st of November 2007. Its duration is 30 months. The full title of the Action is: Addressing barriers to STORage technologies for increasing the penetration of Intermittent Energy Sources.

You may visit the project website at: www.storiesproject.eu

The main objective of STORIES project is to facilitate Renewable Energy Sources (RES) penetration in islands, through modifications in the legislative and regulatory framework that will adopt energy storage technologies. Partners coming from countries that include islands, both from Southern and Northern Europe , and two European networks/councils will work together, exchange experiences from their countries and examine the effect of different environmental conditions and regulatory frameworks on RES market development.

The main outcome of the project will be the development of a Roadmap for the adoption of hybrid RES-energy storage power systems.
