The '''Renewable Energy Directive 2018''' ([https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02018L2001-20220607 2018/2001]) is a [[European Union directive|Directive]] in [[EU law]] that requires 32 percent of the energy consumed within the European Union to be [[renewable energy|renewable]] by 2030. This target is pooled among the [[Member States of the European Union|member states]].

Directive 2018/2001
European Union directive
TitleRenewable Energy Directive 2018
Made byEuropean Parliament and Council
Journal referenceL 140, 5 June 2009, pp. 16–62

ReplacesDirective 2009/28 and Directive 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC

The Renewable Energy Directive 2018 (2018/2001) is a Directive in EU law that requires 32 percent of the energy consumed within the European Union to be renewable by 2030. This target is pooled among the member states.

Background

Renewable Energy Directive fulfillment: Share of energy consumption from renewable sources for EU and EEA countries 2020 and 2021, compared to the targets for 2020. EU27 plus United Kingdom pledged an average of 20 percent renewable energy for 2020, and EU27 reached 22 percent.[1]

Before the 2009 version of the Directive, EU leaders had already reached agreement in March 2007 that, in principle, 20% of the bloc's final energy consumption should be produced from renewable energy sources by 2020 as part of its drive to cut carbon dioxide emissions.[2] This policy later became part of the EU 2020 Energy Strategy dated 10 November 2010.[3] The key objectives of the strategy are to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20%, to increase the share of renewable energy to 20%, and to achieve energy savings of 20% or more. The targets are mutually dependent.[4]

The draft report on the directive was published by the European Commission in January 2008. Claude Turmes served as rapporteur on the draft. Members states were obliged to notify the European Commission by 30 June 2010 of a National Renewable Energy Action Plan which sets out the road map of the trajectory. Member states also have to submit progress reports explaining their implementation of the directive and their progress towards their targets, as is required by article 22 of the directive.

A June 2015 report from the European Commission shows that EU countries are on track to meet the aggregate 20% goal.[5][6]

The 2009 Directive was substantially changed and replaced through a 2018 recast, sometimes known as the "Renewable Energy Directive II", with the a new objective of a minimum of 32% renewable energy by 2030. The Fit for 55 package proposed by the European Commission in July 14 proposes further changes that significantly revise this recast version of the Directive, and is currently (June 2022) making its way through the legislative process.[7]
