Following the launch of its first Q&A guide on Thursday 2 July as part of its "2020 Climate Package Series", CMS Cameron McKenna issues today its Q&A guide on the EU's new Renewable Energy Directive, the second guide in the series.
The new Renewable Energy Directive is a landmark piece of legislation that will require the EU to increase its consumption of energy from renewable sources to 20% of the total gross consumption of energy in the EU by 2020. This Q&A guide will provide readers with:
- an overview of the main obligations imposed on Member States;
- the different ways in which Member State can reach their renewable energy targets and the role the private sector can play in achieving these objectives;
- a summary of the new grid access provision for renewables; and
- an overview of the main provisions relating to the EU's biofuel targets for 2020.
