This case study is hypothetical, it does not present Member States’ preferences and it implies no actual commitment of Member States to participate in the EU RES financing mechanism. The objective of the report is to show the basic functioning of the EU RES financing mechanism. Member State representatives have checked the assumptions made in this study and have provided valuable input. The report includes the following hypothetically participating Member States: Luxemburg as a contributing Member State, Italy and Germany in a mixed role and Greece, Estonia and Lithuania as hosting countries.
