In this podcast, Dijana Dmitruk, legal advisor of the Danish Energy Agency, discusses the Danish-German cooperation agreement for mutually opened auctions of solar photovoltaics (PVs). This significant agreement allows projects located in Germany to receive support payments from the Danish state and vice versa, and may operate as a blueprint for future cooperation agreements. While cross-border cooperation has been encouraged at European level and promoted through the cooperation mechanisms put in place by Directive 2009/28/EC, there has been little uptake to date. Despite several hurdles, among them issues surrounding  taxation rules and the permitting process, from an EU perspective cross-border auctions are considered to support the development of the internal market and investment in renewable energy systems. Dijana Dmitruk outlines the myriad challenges of the pilot test and what can be learned from it for future arrangements.
