EU RES Directive
Debating the Way to a Mediterranean Solar Plan (2009)
This is a presentation from Dr. Albrecht Kaupp (MED-EMIP Team Leader) during the “MENA Energized: Regional Challenges to "Green the Power" Sector” event held in June in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. It was jointly organized by the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) and the Euro Mediterranean Energy Market Integration Project (MED-EMIP).
Overview of RES-H/RES-C Support Options (2009)
The present report was prepared in the framework of the RES-H Policy project (Policy development for improving RES-H/C penetration in European Member States (RES-H Policy)). The aim is to provide an overview of possible policy instruments to support the development of renewable heating (RES-H) and cooling (RES-C) technologies in the different EU Member States.
Solar Thermal Energy Solutions (2010)
As heat accounts for almost 50% of the final energy demand in the EU, the use of solar thermal technologies should be considered as a very valuable option for EU member States when drafting the national renewable action plans, resulting from the so-called RES 2020 Directive (2009/28/EC).
Renewable Energy Policy Country Profiles (2009)
This report, published in the framework of the Re-Shaping project, provides an overview of the existing RES support schemes in the 27 EU Member States.
The project RE-Shaping aims to assist Member States in preparing for the implementation of the RES Directive (2009/28/EC) and to guide a European policy for RES in the mid to long term.
In this report, the past and present success of policies for renewable energies are evaluated and recommendations derived to improve future RES support schemes are provided.

Proposal for a EU Directive on the Promotion of the Use of Energy from Renewable Sources
Published on 23 January 2008, the proposal mandates each member state to increase its share of renewable energies - such as solar, wind or hydro - in an effort to boost the EU's share from 8.5% today to 20% by 2020.
A separate target to increase biofuels use to 10% of transport fuel consumption is to be achieved by every country as part of the overall EU objective.
