Traduction de «renewable energy directive » (Anglais → Français) :

Highlights the need to define a strong, robust and transparent governance system to ensure the implementation of the 2030 renewable energy target with due respect for national competences in determining the energy mix, while allowing for full democratic control and scrutiny of energy policies; calls for an intensive replication of the current successful system of national targets, national Renewable Energy Plans and biennial reports; believes that these should be embedded in the Renewable Energy Directive, which must ensure accountable, effective and transparent monitoring of Member States’ commitments and the implementation of existin ...[+++]g European legislation, in order to lay the foundation for a well-functioning European Energy Union.

whereas, in line with the COP 21 Paris Agreement, the Renewable Energy Directive needs to be adapted to comply with the agreed goal of keeping the global temperature increase to 1,5 oC above pre-industrial levels; whereas an economy based on 100 % renewables can only be achieved by reducing our energy consumption, increasing energy efficiency and boosting renewable energy resources.

Highlights the importance of taking into account the differences between micro, small and large producers; notes the need to develop suitable conditions and tools for ‘prosumers’ (active energy consumers, such as households, both owners and tenants, institutions and small businesses that engage in renewable energy production either on their own or collectively through cooperatives, other social enterprises or aggregations) to contribute to energy transition and facilitate their integration into the energy market; recommends reducing to an absolute minimum the administrative barriers to new self-generation capacity, in particular by removing market and grid access restrictions; suggests shortening and simplifying authorisation procedures ...[+++]by moving to a simple notification requirement; suggests that the revision of the renewable energy directive could include specific provisions to remove barriers and promote community/cooperative energy schemes via ‘one-stop shops’ dealing with project permits and providing financial and technical expertise; encourages the Member States to make use of de minimis exemptions under the European Energy and Environment State Aid Guidelines, so that small and medium-sized projects continue to benefit from dynamic feed in tariffs, exempting them from complex auctioning processes.

Every two years, it monitors the progress of the EU and Member States towards the legally binding renewable energy targets laid down in the Renewable Energy Directive, adopted as part of the EU Climate and Energy policy package in 2009. It also includes an assessment on the feasibility of the 10% renewable energy in transport target and the sustainability of the use of biofuels and bioliquids.

For example, the European Union, through the renewable energy directive, has set mandatory national targets for achieving a 20% share of renewable energy by 2020.

The EU has committed itself to reach a 20% share of renewable energy in final energy consumption and a 10% share of renewable energy in transport. The regulatory framework laid down by the Renewable Energy Directive is a key element for reaching these objectives.
