The Renewable Energy Association is calling on European leaders to set effective renewable energy targets for EU Members States in the 2030 energy and climate framework, which will be finalised at a meeting of the European Council taking place today and tomorrow.
With continued growth and an effective carbon price, almost all renewable technologies – across heating, power and transport – could be providing low carbon energy without subsidy by 2030. This means renewables are likely to be the cheapest supply-side option for achieving the stretching 2030 greenhouse gas targets that will be required to avoid dangerous climate change.
