Renewable energy in the EU

Kort sammanfattning 04-03-2024

Due to the recent energy crisis, there is a growing focus on renewable energy sources within the European Union (EU) as a possible solution to challenges such as energy security and high prices. The 2023 Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires the EU to achieve a 42.5 % share of renewable energy sources (RES) in gross final energy consumption by 2030. As of 2022, the EU has reached a 23 % share of renewables in its energy consumption. In analysing the EU’s energy landscape, it is crucial to note ...

Nuclear energy and the promise of cost-effective small modular reactors (SMRs) is high on the EU's policy agenda, against the backdrop of a difficult global geopolitical context and the Union's energy security and climate ambitions. The EU is building a comprehensive strategy for the development and deployment of SMRs, acknowledging their potential benefits and challenges. Innovative nuclear technologies are of significant strategic value, with major steps being taken to increase the supply of advanced ...

Globala utmaningar som klimatförändringar, geopolitiska konflikter, urholkning av demokratiska principer och sociala orättvisor, påverkar människors vardagsliv och framtidsutsikter. Ett gemensamt EU-svar under de närmaste tio åren skulle kunna bidra till att hantera dessa utmaningar – och generera vinster på upp till 3 biljoner euro per år. Det är runt 18 % av EU:s bruttonationalprodukt (BNP), eller motsvarande 6 700 euro per invånare varje år. Utifrån Europaparlamentets arbete under valperioden ...

The Energy Community is an international organisation facilitating energy cooperation; it brings together the EU and neighbouring countries. Established by the Treaty establishing the Energy Community, signed in 2005 in Athens, Greece, it has been in force since 2006. The treaty's validity has been extended twice, most recently until 2036. The signatories to the treaty are the EU and nine contracting parties: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, ...

On 15 December 2021, the Commission adopted a legislative proposal to recast the 2009 EU Gas Directive as part of the proposed hydrogen and decarbonised gas markets package. This reflects the EU's growing climate ambitions, as set out in the European Green Deal and its 'fit for 55' package. The proposal aims to support the decarbonisation of the energy sector by ramping up the production of renewable gases and hydrogen, and facilitating their integration in EU energy networks. The recast directive ...

This reflects the EU's growing climate ambitions, as outlined in the European Green Deal and its 'fit for 55' package. The proposal seeks to support the decarbonisation of the energy sector by increasing the production of renewable gases and hydrogen across the EU, and facilitating their integration in existing or new gas networks ...

Wind energy in the EU

Briefing 29-01-2024

Renewable energy plays a crucial role in the context of EU climate targets and energy security needs. Wind energy will be central to accelerating the roll-out of renewables and the green transition outlined in the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU plan. In 2022, the total installed wind power capacity in the EU reached 204 GW (gigawatts), most of which was onshore (92 %). The European Commission estimates that new EU target of at least 42.5 % renewable energy in energy consumption by 2030 will ...

The problem definition in the impact assessment (IA) appears to be well-supported by evidence. The description of the policy options is balanced, albeit sometimes lacking in detail. The assessment of the options' impacts (economic, social and environmental) is mainly qualitative, with only limited quantified estimates of costs and benefits. Data limitations and uncertainties could have been described in more detail. The IA consistently presents the stakeholders' views on the problems, their drivers ...

Förnybar energi

Faktablad om EU 22-01-2024

Förnybara energikällor (vindkraft, solenergi, vattenkraft, havsenergi, geotermisk energi, biomassa och biodrivmedel) är alternativ till fossila bränslen som hjälper till att minska växthusgasutsläpp, diversifiera energiförsörjningen och minska beroende av osäkra och volatila marknader för fossila bränslen, särskilt olja och gas. EU-lagstiftning för att främja förnybara energikällor har utvecklats mycket de senaste 15 åren. 2021 stod förnybar energi för 21,8 % av EU:s slutliga energianvändning (brutto ...

Transeuropeiska nät – riktlinjer

Faktablad om EU 22-01-2024

De transeuropeiska näten (TEN) inom transport, energi och telekommunikation byggs ut för att binda ihop EU:s regioner och bidra till tillväxten på den inre marknaden och sysselsättningen. De stärker ekonomisk, social och territoriell sammanhållning. Det transeuropeiska transportnätet (TEN-T) har utvecklats över tid, bland annat genom en genomgripande reform 2013 och en omfattande översyn som föreslogs 2021. Riktlinjerna för transeuropeisk energiinfrastruktur (TEN-E) anpassades 2022 till den europeiska ...
