EU Confirms Plans to Increase 2030 Renewable Energy Target and Develop Alliance in Advanced Solar

The European Commission has presented its plan on how to reduce EU greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. Executive Vice-President Frans Timmermans and Commissioner Kadri Simson announced that legislative proposals will be presented by June 2021 to implement the new target, including a revised and expanded EU Emissions Trading System, and reinforced energy efficiency and renewable energy policies. A critical milestone is the confirmation that the European Commission will increase its 2030 renewable energy target from the current 32% up to 38-40%, for which a proposal will be submitted by June 2021.

The Commission also confirmed that it would explore the possibility of a more robust industrial strategy for advanced solar technologies, a success for the European solar sector, following the hard work of SolarPower Europe and the launch of the Solar Manufacturing Accelerator in July 2020.
