THE RENEWABLE ENERGY DIRECTIVE
2009/28/EC
1.
Sets mandatory national targets for renewable energy
shares, including 10% renewable share for transport, in 2020
2.
Creates flexibility by facilitating “joint projects” with EU
Member States or third countries and “statistical transfers”
between EU Member States to help reach targets cost
effectively
3.
Requires national renewable energy action plans
4.
Requires reduction of administrative and regulatory
barriers, improvements in provision of information and training
and improves renewables’ access to the electricity grid
5.
Creates a sustainability regime for biofuels

RENEWABLE ENERGY ACTION PLANS

NREAP requirements:

National sectoral targets and trajectories (electricity, transport
heating& cooling)
•
•
Adequate measures to achieve the overall target
•
•
Planned statistical transfers or joint projects
•
•
Explanations of the support schemes
Means of cooperation between national, regional and local
authorities
Measures to remove administrative barriers, accelerate
authorisation procedures, reinforce renewable energy
integration into the energy system and the better exploitation of
biomass resources in particular.
For the Contracting Parties – 2009 baseline year

INDICATIVE TRAJECTORY
S2009 + 0,20 (S2020 – S2009), as an average for the two-year period 2011 to 2012;
S2009 + 0,30 (S2020 – S2009), as an average for the two-year period 2013 to 2014;
S2009 + 0,45 (S2020 – S2009), as an average for the two-year period 2015 to 2016
S2009 + 0,65 (S2020 – S2009), as an average for the two-year period 2017 to 2018
• Energy efficient scenario considered in the forecast >>> posibble
adjustments in the RES Action Plan will be needed in the future
• Target achievement in energy efficiency will help to reach the RES
target at lower cost

ENFORCEMENT!
 Dispute settlement proceedings for:
 failure to produce an credible national action plan
 failure to implement all aspects of the Directive
 significant deviation from plan or trajectory
 valid complaints from any Contracting Party natural
or legal persons regarding incorrect implementation
or enforcement by the Contracting Party
 Dispute settlement proceedings are the usual tool for
enforcing Energy Community Treaty. Effectiveness:
 most cases are resolved (corrective action taken
by Contracting Parties) before reaching the
Ministerial Council.
