EURELECTRIC has just published the results of it’s Renewables Action Plan and is proud to share them with you:
The electricity industry is fully committed to the EU’s 20% renewables target by 2020 – but how do we actually get there? The EURELECTRIC Renewables Action Plan (RESAP) is the result of 18 months of large-scale research and policy development involving more than 400 industry experts.
In the RESAP summary report presented at a EURELECTRIC conference in Brussels on November 10th 2011, EURELECTRIC recommends European policymakers to take the following five priority actions:
1. Ensure an integrated European energy market for the successful growth in renewable energy
2. Remove obstacles for investments in renewables and grid infrastructure
3. Promote flexibility on both the supply and the demand side
4. Facilitate the development of RES trade, the use of cooperation mechanisms and enhance progressive convergence of support schemes for RES
5. Base the long-term RES policy on the EU ETS as a key driver of cost-effective decarbonisation
