20% RES by 2020 – Scenarios on future European policies for RES-Electricity

This concise web representation aims to provide key outcomes of an independent in-depth model based assessment of various policy options for renewable energies in general, and RES electricity in particular, to meet Europe’s commitment on 20% RES by 2020. A broad set of policy scenarios have been thoroughly analysed within the futures-e project, illustrating consequences of policy choices for the future RES evolution and corresponding costs within the European Union as well as at country level. Feasible policy pathways were identified and targeted recommendations provided in order to pave the way for a successful and in the long-term stable deployment of RES in Europe.

For further details on the conducted scenarios we refer to the forthcoming corresponding report "20% RES by 2020 – Scenarios on future European policies for RES-Electricity" which will be published within the next weeks (end of March 2009).
