The European Commission has published on 20 July 2010 a number of calls for proposals under the “ENERGY” Work Programme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
A further 400 M EUR will come from other parts of the
EU Budget. The EC is giving itself until November to put forward a solution for
the remaining shortfall of 540 M EUR. Details of the EC's plans are here.
Various reports in the media (EV, BBC) have suggested that the EU’s liability for 1.4 bn EUR of additional costs in 2012-2013 will be met with money diverted from the Competitiveness for Growth and Employment heading of the EU budget. This budget heading funds the Framework Programme for Research, supplying money to renewable energy research and demonstration projects.
