The contribution of renewable energy sources to global electricity supply is increasing rapidly. Electricity from renewable energy sources is an important element in energy and climate policies, as it not only contributes to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, but also plays an important role in increasing the security of energy supply, improving air quality and promoting new technologies and businesses.
The EU Directive on renewable electricity has provided a strong impetus, putting Europe at the forefront of global initiatives to develop renewable energy supplies. This has stimulated individual Member States to formulate national support mechanisms for promoting renewable electricity in their home markets. The new renewable energy targets for 2020 will provide further incentives.
