Besides the technological and scientific questions regarding an integrated regenerative energy system IRES will also highlight the necessary political framework for the market penetration of renewable energy and the support schemes for energy storage technologies.   

The IRES conference series brings together stakeholders from the regenerative and conventional energy industries, from R&D and politics. It acts as a stimulus for their strategies to enhance   the entry of renewable energy.

You are all cordially invited to IRES 2009.

Yours sincerely




Dr. Hermann Scheer
President EUROSOLAR
General Chairman WCRE
