New Agreement to Boost Renewable Energy Use in Europe

14/06/2018

Negotiators from the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Council have reached agreement on increasing renewable energy use in Europe. The Renewable Energy Directive will contribute to President Juncker's 2014 call for the European Union to become the world number one in renewables. It will also allow Europe to keep its leadership role in the fight against climate change, in the clean energy transition and in meeting the goals set by the Paris Agreement.
