Since 2009 the EU has had the binding requirement that by the year 2020 one fifth of gross
final energy consumption is to be met by renewable energy sources. The way to achieving
this target is described in the National Action Plans of the EU Member States, which detail
the existing and planned measures, instruments and policies for supporting the expansion
of renewable energy in relation to the individual national targets. In their National Action
Plans, eleven EU Member States have expressed the expectation that they will exceed the
national targets set out in the EU Directive: Germany, Lithuania, Malta, the Netherlands,
Austria, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
In February 2011 the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) published a summary
of the development documented in the National Action Plans. The analysis shows that the
binding EU target of 20 % in 2020 will not only be achieved, but will probably be exceeded
with a figure of 20.7 %. The publication also predicts a share of 34.0 % for electricity generated
from renewable sources in 2020, 21.4 % for energy from renewables in the heat/cold sector,
and 10.2 % in the transport sector.
