The EU has embarked upon a fundamental
change in direction of its energy policy, with
the agreement by the European Council of the
"20-20-20" targets - 20% renewable energy in
the EU's energy mix, 20% reduction in
greenhouse gases, and a 20% improvement in
its energy e ciency, all by 2020.
The new legislative framework presently being
nalised to put this in practice will have
profound e ects on all those active in the
energy industry. Achieving a 20% share of
renewables in the EU's energy mix will require
massive investments; an increase by roughly
10 times the level of wind and solar energy
presently installed in Europe today in a period
of just 12 years. It will also require enormous
investments in biofuels.
This creates huge challenges and opportunities
for EU business. A full understanding of
the di erent support schemes, obligations on
companies and planning requirements, at
both EU and national level, is vital for both
industry and its advisors, in all sectors of the
energy industry.
This volume will provide a complete working
guide to the new EU legislation
