The “EnerKey Long-term Perspective Group” (ELPG) will be the knot tying together the whole stakeholder process of Module 2. Within the project duration of five years the working group will meet for several workshop sessions. In order to guarantee a good linkage with all EnerKey activities, some members of the EnerKey Programme Management Committee will be members of the working group also.

The task of the ELPG is to explore strategic options under a long-term perspective (“Which decisions need to be taken today, to be consistent with long-term trends and to contribute to sustainability with a 20 years time horizon?”). The focus is on implementation strategies (“How can successful approaches be applied on a large-scale?”) and on integrated strategies that go beyond the sectoral perspective.

First outcomes of the ELPG are minutes and presentation of the working sessions (see below).
