3. 1.European Union electricity targets from renewable sources.

4. PROPOSAL FOR A DIRECTIVE ON THE PROMOTION OF THE USE OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES èIncrease interconnection among countries. èThe biofuels and other bioliquids, will not encourage the destruction of bio- diverse lands. èMeasures that constitute State aid in the sense of Article 87 of the Treaty have to be notified to and approved by the Commission before their implementation. èThis Directive establishes: l A common framework for the promotion of energy from renewable sources. l Sets mandatory targets for the overall share of energy from renewable sources in energy consumption l Sets the share of energy from renewable sources in transport. èLays down rules relating to: guarantees of origin, administrative procedures and TPA. èEstablishes environmental sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids. è“Guarantee of origin” means an electronic document which has the function of providing proof that a given quantity of energy was produced from renewable sources. è“Support scheme” means a scheme, originating from a market intervention by a Member State that helps energy from renewable sources to find a market by reducing the cost of production of this energy. Includes: l Green certificates. l Investment aid. l Tax exemptions, reductions or refunds. l Renewable energy obligation support schemes. l Direct price support schemes: feed-in tariffs & premium payments.

5. PROPOSAL FOR A DIRECTIVE ON THE PROMOTION OF THE USE OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES èThe Directive lays down the principles according to which Member States need to ensure that the share of renewable energy in the EU final energy consumption reaches at least 20% by 2020, and establishes national overall targets for each Member State. è3 sectors are concerned: electricity, heating and cooling and transport. èThe overall approach is for Member States to retain discretion as to the mix of these sectors in reaching their national target. However, it is proposed that each Member State shall achieve at least a 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector by 2020.

6. MANDATORY TARGETS FOR THE SHARE OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES IN FINAL CONSUMPTION OF ENERGY IN 2020 S 20xx = K x (S 2020 – S 2005 ) where:K = 0.25 for the two-year period 2011 to 2012 K = 0.35 for the two-year period 2013 to 2014 K = 0.45 for the two-year period 2015 to 2016 K = 0.65 for the two-year period 2017 to 2018 S 2020 = The share for the MS in 2020 S 2005 = The share for the MS in 2005

55. 5.Conclusions.

56. WWEA Secretary General Stefan Gsänger Rising oil, gas, coal and uranium prices, increasing awareness of the threats of climate change, irresolvable difficulties surrounding nuclear energy, as well as increasing energy demand from emerging and developing countries are only some of the myriad reasons the world is looking into alternative energy solutions. Renewable energies are shifting toward the centre of such deliberations, but in order for them to meet rising demand, they will need to be harvested in a decentralized manner. Moving away from a centralized model will benefit everyone from small communities to sovereign nations. Countries such as Denmark and Germany are already reaping rewards and it's not too far-fetched to think that the United States could share in the success as well. Source: WWEA

57. CONCLUSIONS èFrom 1994 to now, wind energy production have been growing in an uninterrupted way. èThe price of the market plus the premium has been attractive enough to build 15,500 MW of installed wind power. èThe management of the electric system has changed to integrate many small producers whose production will increase or diminish based on the wind regime. èMost of the wind energy producers have chosen the option of bidding into the market instead of the option of the fix price.
