Renewable Energy Prospects for the European Union

February 21, 2018

For more than two decades, the European Union (EU) has been at the forefront of global renewable energy deployment. The adoption of long-term targets and supporting policy measures has resulted in strong growth in renewable energy consumption across the region, from a 9% share in 2005 to 16.7% in 2015. Currently, the EU is on track to meet its 20% target established for 2020.
