Renewable energy in the EU
MS have agreed targets

By 2010, total renewable energy’s share of gross
inland energy consumption in the EU 15 will almost
double to 12%. (11.1% EU25.)
 By 2010, electricity from renewable energy sources
in the EU 25 will increase its share from 14%
(2000) to 22%.
 By 2010, the share of biofuels in the transport
sector in the EU 25 will increase from less than 1%
(in 2000) to 5.75%.

2. Promoting renewable energy
• Keep up pressure on MS to achieve promises
on renewables
• Strengthen existing programmes, eg
Intelligent Energy and RTD Framework
Programme
• Fresh priority to biomass

3. Ensuring a proper functioning of the internal
market for gas and electricity for the benefit of
all our citizens
• Ensure proper implementation of legislation
• Monitor investment and price developments
• Consider ways to assure best functioning of
markets

TEN-E Programme
Need to provide new gas supply routes
Planned investments for gas network < 2013 : € 22 billion
TEN financial support by the EC: Annual budget € 20 million
EC contribution can only be minor: initiation of feasibility
studies and preparatory activities.
Investments to be financed by the private sector with the
contribution of Community instruments, in particular the
Structural Funds

Interconnection of the electricity grids
On 19 April 2005, Boris Ayuev, CEO of the System Operator of the « United
Power System of Russia –UPS » and Martin Fuchs, President of the
European « Union for the Coordination of Transmission of Electricity –
UCTE » and CEO of E.ON Netz, kicked of a three year study that should
lead to the synchronous interconnection of the UPS/IPS and the UCTE
creating an installed generation capacity of some 800 GW, spanning 13 time
zones and serving about 800 million people
