Speaking at EWEA, Green member of the European Parliament Claude Turmes, who was heavily involved in the approval of the EU’s renewable energy directive of 2009, has warned against an emphasis on low-carbon.
The comments came as EWEA called for a “binding 2030 target” on renewable energy.
EWEA president Arthouros Zervos said: “”We must ensure that the renewable energy targets established in 2001 and 2009 are replicated for the period after 2020 with ambitious 2030 targets. We must ensure that that the success story of renewable energy in Europe survives beyond 2020.”
He added: “We are facing a policy vacuum after 2020. We must ensure that the renewable energy targets established in 2001 and 2009 are replicated for the period after 2020 with ambitious 2030 targets. We must ensure that that the success story of renewable energy in Europe survives beyond 2020.”
