This article introduces the RESGen procedure for elaborating and implementing SE strategies (SES) regionally, and it was tested in four EU-regions. The main conclusions are the following: - The procedure worked well, with some requirements to improve user-friendliness. The method was applied differently in each region, demonstrating flexibility of the method. - Public awareness, attitudes and trust, stakeholder commitment and functioning of the decision-making system are vital for successful implementation of SES. - Regional stakeholders were motivated to develop their own strategy, aiming at SE. - The procedure can reveal facts that are not known or expected. It may also reveal institutional opposition and negative attitudes against SE, thus making the barriers and bottlenecks visible. These and the new strategic tool enable realistic development. - There is a call for 'rules of the game', in order to reduce uncertainty of the business environment for SE. Conscious development through comprehensive regional strategies and structured programmes will be important. The RESGen procedure is an attempt towards SES development integrating local and regional implementation, national and international policies, smart specialisation and general progress. The RESGen procedure provided a systematic tool enabling unified development for all regions. The experiences suggest that the procedure could be fit for a more widespread use. The existence of this kind of tools encourages regional programmes and thus promotes the implementation of SES. (fragment of text)

Pomimo usiłowań i starań, aby w coraz większym stopniu wykorzystywać odnawialne źródła energii, rozliczne bariery instytucjonalne i przeszkody innego rodzaju uniemożliwiają postęp i spowalniają ten proces. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu poszerzenie wiedzy na temat strategii SE (SES) oraz sposobu, w jaki mogą być one wzmocnione na poziomie regionalnym. Jedną z głównych metod wzmocnienia SES jest rozwój kompleksowych strategii regionalnych, które integrują wszystkie najważniejsze podmioty regionalne (przemysł, władze regionalne, instytucje B+R) w ramach programów rozwoju regionalnego. Autorzy prezentują główne wyniki projektu RESGen mającego na celu opracowanie tego rodzaju strategii dla czterech regionów UE oraz wdrożenie procedury opracowanej w ramach projektu.
