Investment issues, particularly risks associated with renewable energy investments and innovative financing mechanisms such as EU Structural Funds for risk capital, are also examined. The analysis, supported by case studies using the ADMIRE-REBUS simulation model, concludes that promoting renewable energy in Central and Eastern Europe will occur in a rapidly changing environment, with macroeconomic stability still in progress.
