D4.4 REVT5 Implementation and Operation Plan - WP4
report
This report presents the REVT5 Implementation and Operation Plan for the Flagship Valley (FV), the main living lab of the REFORMERS project. REFORMERS is a five-year Horizon Europe Innovation Action that aims to strengthen Europe’s energy security while accelerating the green transition through the development and replication of Renewable Energy Valleys (REVs) — regional energy systems with high shares of renewables that integrate residential and business areas.
The Flagship Valley, located in and around the municipality of Alkmaar (NL), faces a pressing challenge: severe electricity grid congestion, with major grid reinforcements not expected before 2035. Within this constrained context, REFORMERS supports local stakeholders in progressing the energy transition by combining technical innovation with new forms of collaboration, governance and coordination.
Central to this deliverable is the introduction and application of a Holistic Approach for setting up Renewable Energy Valleys. This approach provides a structured, stepwise framework that integrates technical, social, economic, legal, and governance perspectives. It is designed to guide regions from early initiation to implementation and long-term operation, while building increasing levels of stakeholder commitment along the way. The approach is supported by four REV Toolboxes developed within the project, covering stakeholder engagement and socio-economic impact assessment, energy system design, environmental impact assessment, and business models, governance, and policy & legal analysis.
