The EU has embarked upon a fundamental change in direction of its energy policy, with the agreement by the European Council of the 20-20-20 targets, all by 2020! The new legislative framework presently being finalized to put this in practice will have profound effects on all those active in the energy industry. Achieving a 20 share of renewables in the EU's energy mix will require massive investments; an increase by roughly 10 times the level of wind and solar energy presently installed in Europe today in a period of just 12 years. This all creates huge challenges and opportunities for EU business. A full understanding of support schemes, obligations and planning requirements is vital for both industry and its advisors. This volume provides a complete working guide to the new EU legislation.
