Germany – Research and development services and related consultancy services – CJS2_155b Demonstrator Cases to Support Renewable Energy Transition Across the Mediterranean

This ITT is for “Demonstrator Case” contracts that, based on regional policy and linked energy market insight, will develop and demonstrate solutions to empower users throughout the Mediterranean region to stimulate and facilitate the integration of CAMS and/or C3S data into existing or new solutions to enhance development of renewable energies in the region. Demonstration tools should support decision-making processes, potentially in combination with other Copernicus data, meteorological data and other sectoral, or socio-economic information and data. The objective of these contracts is to stimulate innovative ideas for the exploitation of Copernicus data, promote knowledge exchange and community shaping with a goal of supporting the uptake and growth of renewable energy in and across the Mediterranean. Activities shall realise demonstration cases which illustrate potential uptake and inspire other initiatives in the region. This ITT seeks to promote the transition to net-zero, enhance national capacities in partner countries, and work towards climate resilience across the Mediterranean. Working with the UfM, ECMWF promotes with this ITT the empowerment of users in the promotion on the use of CAMS and C3S data in scope of investments in renewable energies in those countries and regions which have reliance on fossil fuels and capacity to transition to a lower carbon future. To facilitate this, entities from Copernicus contributing countries (Copernicus Participating Countries include all EU Member States, as well as Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom) are encouraged to lead the bids, partnering with eligible entities based in non-EU / non-Copernicus contributing countries as subcontractors.
