Targets

EU would reach a share of renewable energy inelectricity generation of 21% by 2010share of renewable energy replacing petrol and diesel intransport of 5,75% by 2010.

EU achieves a 20% share of renewable energy by 2020EU achieves a 10% share of renewable energy intransport by 2020

Status presently (2010)

Only a few Member States, namely Denmark, Germany,Hungary, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland and Portugal expectto achieve their 2010 targets for renewable energy inelectricity generation;

only Austria, Finland, Germany, Malta, Netherlands,Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden expect to achievetheir targets for renewable energy in transport.For the period 2007-2009, funds spent on renewableenergy amounted to roughly 9.8bn, (3.26bn/a), the

bulk of which in the form of loans from the EuropeanInvestment Bank.

Renewable energy development

Based on Member States' plans, renewable energyshould constitute 37% of Europe's electricity mix by2020.Multiple, flexible, smaller scale distributed forms of electricity generation.Following biomass, wind power will account for 27%projected increase (two-thirds onshore, one-thirdoffshore),Similarly, the solar energy industry will grow, notably for photovoltaics.Policy to shift from investments to consumptionConversion of feed in tariffs to feed in premiums

EU policy notes

Second generation biofuels and electric vehicles areexpected to make only a small contribution by 2020.Need to continue to invest in research for advancedrenewable energy technologies.

Needs to continue to bring down the costs of offshorewind; photovoltaic power; electric cars; and secondgeneration biofuels.Renewable electricity investments should be at levelshigher than the 62% of all new power investments

Annual capital investment in renewable energy to rapidlydouble to 70bn
