A new report by the European Wind Energy Association predicts that the EU will meet its 2020 20% renewable energy target, or even exceed it in some cases. The analyses covered all 27 Member States.
Spain and Germany are the top achievers in the analysis, with estimates of 22.7% and 18.7%, respectively. Italy sits at the bottom of the ranking. The country believes it will have to import renewable energy from non-EU countries such as Albania, Croatia, Serbia and Tunisia to meet its national target.
Estonia, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden expect to exceed their targets as well whereas Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Bulgaria and Denmark may not achieve their set renewable energy goals by 2020.
“Europe has witnessed a sea-change since the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive was agreed as in 2008 many countries were stating that their target would be difficult to meet – now the majority are forecasting that they will meet or exceed their national target” said Justin Wilkes, Policy Director of EWEA.
