Expected Outcome: In 2015, the launch of the Energy Union saw the SET Plan (Strategic Energy Technology Plan) incorporated as the Energy Union’s fifth pillar on ‘Research, Innovation and Competitiveness’. With the 2023 Communication on the revision of the SET Plan, its strategic objectives were harmonised with the European Green Deal, REPowerEU and the Green Deal Industrial Plan. Moreover, the SET Plan became a structural policy under the European Research Area. In 2024, the SET Plan was enshrined in the Net Zero Industry Act and the SET Plan Steering Group was established as a high-level expert group. In the geothermal sector, European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP), and SET Plan Implementation Working Group (IWG) fora support the development and implementation of the SET Plan priorities by bringing together relevant stakeholders in geothermal energy key areas from industry, research organisations and, where applicable, SET Plan countries’ government representatives. It is crucial for the clean energy transition that the SET Plan stakeholder fora align and coordinate their activities. Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes: - European climate and energy policies are supported by science-based evidence. - The implementation of the SET Plan and its contribution to the Green Deal Industrial Plan, the Net Zero Industry Act and the European Research Area are facilitated. - The SET Plan stakeholder fora are recognised as key players in the clean energy transition. - The societal and economic effects of the clean energy transition are addressed through the consideration of interests, needs and…
