According to the European Commission, the roadmap for the Renewable Energy Directive will assess whether the EU’s renewable energy target of at least 32% is for 2030 should be raised and whether other parts of the directive need to be adapted in line with the green deal, including the biodiversity strategy. The EC explains that the roadmap takes the form of a preliminary assessment of the effects of increasing the EU’s RES target.
In contrast, the roadmap for the Energy Efficiency Directive aims to assess the adequacy of existing legislation to meet the existing energy efficiency target of at least 32.5%. by 2030
The Commission has published roadmaps for the review of both directives to which comments can be submitted by 21 September. The next stage of the review of both directives are to open public consultations that the European Commission wants to conduct at the end of this year.
