The addressed priority of “European Funds for Mazowsze 2021-2027 is the 2nd Priority “European Funds for green development of Mazovia”, especially Specific objective 2(ii) „Promoting re-newable energy in accordance with Directive (EU) 2018/2001, including the sustainability criteria set out therein“. This is the regional investment for jobs and growth goal programme. Main priorities are the green development of Mazovia, the development of urban mobility and a more competitive and intelligent Mazovia. In accordance with the principles of the EU Cohesion Policy, the economically less developed areas receive the greatest support. More developed regions have limited access to project financing. In Mazovia the capital city of Warsaw is in such a situation. The remaining poviats belong to the less developed regional Masovian area and Warsaw will primarily direct its support to them.
This aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support the adoption of renewable energy sources. To accelerate the deployment of RE, the program supports: Enhance research and innova-tion capacities in renewable energy technologies. Promote the adoption of advanced technologies, including integrated photovoltaic systems. Encourage the development of smart energy solutions and infrastructures. BiodIvErSe will contribute to both renewable energy promotion and biodiversity enhancement. This approach aligns with the goals of Specific Objective 2(ii) and creates sustaina-ble and resilient energy solutions.

MWIDE as the responsible authority for the strategical energy policy decisions in Saarland has in continuation of the Saarland Energy Roadmap 2030, backed up by the government statement (Regierungsprogramm 2022-2027), adopted a package of key legislative measures (“Solar Strategy”) since last year that modifies several laws to remove legal barriers to the expansion of solar energy. These include for the first time provisions for agri PV systems as an innovative PV technology. Further planned measures are:
- Obligation to install roof-mounted solar panels for public and commercial buildings and car parks and the creation of a legal authorisation basis for municipal solar bylaws for residential buildings
- Implementation of the EU's RED III in procedural law: decision deadline of one month
- Adaptation to national requirements in the area of tenders for agri PV systems and authorisation of agri PV in priority areas for agriculture
- Finalising the legislative process for the Municipal Participation Act, according to which municipalities can participate in the profits of installed ground-mounted PV systems
- Pre-Examining the suitability of conversion areas for PV systems in cooperation with RAG (former coal mining company)

The Vidzeme Planning Region (VPR) Development Programme 2022–2027 prioritizes Efficient and Clean Energy, emphasizing energy planning, efficiency, and renewable energy. While photovoltaic (PV) systems are not explicitly mentioned, they align with the program’s goals of economic transformation and climate neutrality by reducing environmental impact and enhancing competi-tiveness.
The medium-term thematic priority "Efficient and Clean Energy" demonstrates that the VPR aims for more efficient energy planning and an increasing use of renewable energy. Under this priority, several action directions are defined, whereof the project integrating PV systems and bio-diversity supports these objectives by:
1. Boosting renewable energy adoption (RV3) through integrated PV technologies.
2. Strengthening energy planning (RV1) with biodiversity-inclusive strategies.
PV-biodiversity synergies directly support the Vidzeme Planning Region (VPR) Development Programme 2022–2027 goal: “Promote economic development and growth by transforming economic models.” Addressing global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and economic vulnerability requires a shift towards smarter, more sustainable, and competitive eco-nomic structures.
Vidzeme is shifting from peat mining to sustainable land use under the VPR Development Programme 2022–2027. Integrated Peat PV offers a solution by repurposing decommissioned peatlands for solar energy, providing both economic and environmental benefits.

The Greek National Strategic Reference Framework 2021-2027 (NSRF) & the Program for RWM identify areas for implementation of Integrated Spatial Investments based on thematic and/or spatial continuity, the possibility of exploiting wealth-producing resources & special local characteristics (cultural, local production & sustainable tourism activities) & with the possibility of synergy with other policy measures (e.g. in Natura 2000 areas).
The PI is Regional programme 2021-2027 Dytiki Makedonia & the selected specific objective is: RSO5.2 - Strengthening integrated and inclusive social, economic and environmental local development, of culture, natural heritage, sustainable tourism and security in non-urban areas (ERDF). The main objective of RSO5.2 is creating synergies that will be sought in the field of Environmental Regeneration, focusing on the restoration of degraded areas & facilities, the readjustment of their use, the protection of ecosystems & the natural environment that are promoted from the Greek Just Transition Program. Main priorities are: creation & management of green areas; protection, promotion & management of nature & biodiversity; actions to protect, develop & promote public property & land; upgrading the intra-regional network & promoting accessibility. The main characteristic is that all the interventions should be aligned with national sectoral & regional policies, mainly those planned for efficient spatial management of innovative ground-mounted PV.

With the CEP, Lower Austria sets the course for a clean, renewable and sustainable energy future. BiodIvErSe” will aim to further develop and refine the Climate and Energy Programme 2030 (CEP 2030), whereas the second implementation period 2026-2030 lies ahead.
Further information on CEP 2030:
• The main target groups of the CEP 2030 are all departments of the government of Lower Austria that can contribute achieving the targets. Through implementation of CEP 2030, the following targets are to be achieved by 2030:
• · Reduction of GHG emissions by 36% compared to 2005 (non-ETS sector)
• · Increase the share of renewable energy sources
• · Improved adaptation to the consequences of climate change
CEP 2030 is divided into chapters (Building & Housing, Mobility & Space, Sustainable Econo-my, Energy Supply, Land & Water, People & Protection), which contain the measures in detail as well as the responsible and participating departments. In addition, the measures are labelled with regard to their target effects on climate protection, renewable energy, energy efficiency and adaptation to climate change. CEP 2030 contains specific steps. Their implementation is regularly discussed and evaluated by expert committees. Existing measures are currently being re-fined and new measures for the next implementation period of CEP 2026-2030 are developed.
In the period 2026-2030, the ‘BiodIvErSe’ project will be a CEP-measure in the area of energy supply.

Vision of the City of Laktasi, as expressed in its SECAP, is to reduce the emission of harmful gases, increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. In order to achieve its vision, the City committed itself to achieve the following goals:
- reduce CO2 emissions (and other greenhouse gases) by at least 40% by 2030 through more efficient use of energy and greater use of renewable energy sources;
- increase resilience by adapting to the impacts of climate change;
- share its vision, results, experience and knowledge with other local and regional authorities within and outside the EU through direct cooperation and exchange, in particular in the context of the Global Covenant of Mayors.
Based on Reference Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2008, which amounted to 89,506.92 tCO2, an indicative goal of reducing CO2 emissions of 40% by 2030 was set, which means that total CO2 emissions in 2030 should amount to less than 53,704.15 tCO2. SECAP contains a set of measures addressing mitigation of climate change effects and a set of measures addressing adaptation to climate change effects. The SECAP focuses on the long-term impacts of climate change on the City territory, including energy efficiency, and provides measurable goals and results related to the reduction of energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
