20% RES by 2020 – Scenarios on future European policies for RES-Electricity

This concise web representation aims to provide final results of an independent in-depth model based assessment of various policy options for renewable energies in general, and RES electricity in particular, to meet Europe’s commitment on 20% RES by 2020 and to explore the perspectives beyond 2020. A broad set of policy scenarios have been conducted with the Green-X model and were thoroughly analysed within the RE-Shaping study, illustrating the consequences of policy choices for the future RES evolution and the corresponding cost within the European Union as well as at country level. Feasible policy pathways have been identified and targeted recommendations provided in order to pave the way for a successful and in the long-term stable deployment of RES in Europe.

Please note that the topic discussed in this scenario viewer is presented in full detail in the report “Renewable energies in Europe – Scenarios on future European policies for RES“ (D22) available for download at this website!
