WAG: Wales will be working closely with regional governments from throughout Europe as part of its efforts to speed up the transition to renewable energy and support Wales' involvement in the strategic EU RENREN  (Renewable ENergy REgions Network) project.  

The RENREN project will investigate how regional governments can work together to accelerate the shift towards renewable energy and, in doing so, support aspirations for a greener, cleaner energy future.

It will work to improve regional frameworks for renewable energy expansion and explore the enabling conditions for renewables, looking at how these can be fine-tuned to support different technologies, such as marine, wind, biomass or solar. 

The project will also focus on sharing good practice with the outputs of the project being made available to a wider audience of stakeholders through a series of events and the project's website.
