Next step of Lighthouse Project: Experts structure collected content

They found out that four main aspects play an essential role in the process: A long-term planning and implementation cycle, the preconditions from a legal and governance framework to reduce uncertainties for the planning process​, collaboration as a precondition for planning and implementation ​and last, but not least information and knowledge infrastructure requirements.

Now, the Lighthouse Project Team has continued and gone on to sort the material collected in another workshop which took place last week. The workshop included putting heads together to find overarching questions for each phase/categories and subsequently composing short overviews of the most essential aspects to consider.

Upcoming activities in the Lighthouse Project will be a survey and a series of online workshops focusing on the preconditions and development needs of distribution grids in countries and regions in different parts of the world. Findings of the Project will be presented in conjunction with the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM15) meeting in Brazil, scheduled for October this year. Through this contribution, ISGAN aims to highlight key policy priorities for enabling smart distribution grids to contribute to meeting the global community’s pledges to triple renewable energy capacity and efficiency, as articulated during the COP28 conference in Dubai last year.
