for climate and
energy policies

On-going discussions with Member States, EU institutions
and stakeholders
2
Early agreement on the 2030 framework is essential
Increased certainty for
Memeber States and
reduce regulatory risks for
investors
Growth and jobs through
demand for efficient and
low carbon technologies
Definition of EU ambitions
in view of a new
international climate
change agreement
3
The 2030 framework must ensure progress towards three
objectives
Sustainabilit
y
Security of
energy
supply
Reduction of
emissions
Diversification
of fuels, supply
countries and
routes
Reduction of
energy
consumptions
Development of
alternative
energy sources
Grid Stability
Adequate
energy
infrastructures
Competitiven
ess
Affordable and
competitive

Promotion of
new
technologies,
growth and jobs
Improved energy
efficinecy
The 2030 policy framework should take into account lesson
learned from the 2020 framework and the economic and
political context of today

The EU is making good progress towards meeting the 2020 RES target
- But most Member States are still some distance away

Challenges in meeting 2020 targets - to be considered in the 2030 framework
Increasing concern about energy import dependency and rising energy
prices
Stability and costs of renewables support schemes, impacts on the
internal energy market, on grid stability and capital allocation
Need for massive investments in energy transmission and
distribution infrastructure, e.g. due to renewables expansion
Differences between Member States in improving energy
efficiency; implementation of directives
Current large surplus of ETS allowances, resulting in a low carbon
price and low investment incentives
Need for coherence of policy instruments

(2) The share of renewables rises steadily over time

Share of renewables in gross final energy consumption (in %)
The share of renewables is between 28% and 31% in the decarbonisation scenarios.

(3) Large investment for power generation is needed ~ 2.5 trillion
Euros up to 2050.

Cumulative investment expenditure for power generation from 2011 to 2050
(in billion €2008)
More investments also needed in grid infrastructure, storage, etc.
11
Import dependency falls, especially after 2030 with electification of
transport
Net energy imports (in Mtoe)
Current policy initiatives

Decarbonisation scenarios
All decarbonisation scenarios will reduce the EU’s energy import dependency.

These are the main issues to be considered for the 2030 framework
Targets
Instruments
Competitiveness
& Security of
Supply
Effort Sharing
•Should climate and energy targets be set for 2030?
•If so, which ones?
•Which are the most appropriate policy instruments to
meet potential new targets for the period up to 2030?
•How can Research and Innovation best support the 2030
framework?
•How can EU policies take account of international
developments? Eg. Climate negotiations
•How can internationally competitive and affordable
energy prices be ensured?
•How can an equitable distribution of efforts be ensured
among Member States?
•How to best consider the different investment capacities
of industry sectors and consumer groups?
