Introduction The amount of public research and development investments in new energy innovation technologies has played a crucial role in the development and proliferation of new innovative technologies in Denmark 1 . The public investments are especially relevant in the early stages of technology development, where uncertainty about the innovation is greatest, and where the privately held companies are less willing to take risks 2 . Furthermore, research and development (R&D) in the energy sector is often an interactive process where companies and research institutes innovate in the interaction with each other and therefore often joined in collaborative R&D projects. However, even though almost DKK 1 billion is used on energy research 3 , there is not much information at project level on how these funded projects are constructed, who participates in the projects and information about the outcomes of the projects. The goal of this report is threefold. First, it examines the organisational structure of the PSO-funded (public service obligation) programmes administrated by Energinet.dk called ForskEL and ForskVE. The aim is to understand how these ForskEL and ForskVE projects are formed and structured. Until now, there does not exist any general information about ForskEL and ForskVE projects. Second, this report will give an overview of the network structure of ForskEL and ForskVE projects, describing how the Danish energy sector is interconnected in regard to R&D. This will give an understanding of the complexity of the ForskEL and ForksVE network. Finally, the report will provide the first performance evaluation of almost hundred ForskEL and ForskVE projects. This contributes to a deeper understanding of projects funded by Energinet.dk and what the end-results of these projects are. “The results of the report are based on findings from a PhD study which was conducted from 2009-2012 and the report applies updated data from 1998-2013”. 1 Borup et al., 2009 2 Gallagher et al., 2006 3 http://energiforskning.dk/da/stats/bevilgede-tilskud-til-energiprojekter-i-2011 3
