Strategic Energy Review.
Renewable Energy Roadmap
European Commission, January 2007
• Increase share of renewables in EU energy mix to
20% by 2020;
• Minimum 10% biofuels in each Member State.
• Binding overall renewables target for each Member
State;
• Member State National Action Plans, setting share of
electricity, heating & cooling and biofuels and policy
measures;

European Council
8-9 March 2007
Key conclusions on renewables:
– endorsement of a binding target of a
20% share of renewable energies in
overall EU energy consumption by
2020,
– endorsement of a 10% binding target
for the share of biofuels in EU transport
petrol and diesel consumption by 2020.

First Call: Wind energy topics
Expected impact: Cost reductions through improvements in technology, upscaling of turbines, large-scale deployment (including offshore) and grid
connection. Wind onshore costs should lead to below 0.04 €/kWh in 2020.
Research priorities (DG RTD):
• Development of components and systems for turbines and wind farms
• External conditions, resource assessment and forecasting for wind energy
• Testing, standards and certification for wind energy systems
Demonstration priorities (DG TREN)
• Demonstration of large scale systems for on-and off-shore wind farms
• Integration of wind power into the European power system
• Wind mapping for offshore applications

The first European Strategic
Energy Technology Plan‘ (SET-Plan)
The SET-Plan pursues a dual approach to achieve the desired transformation to
accelerate efficient and low carbon technolgy
- Identify and propose "Large-scale target-oriented European Initiatives" to boost
developments
– (e.g. wind, biofuels, energy efficiency in buildings, nuclear fission, carbon capture
and storage, fuel cells and hydrogen, European grid…)
– These initiatives should be able to pool the critical-mass resources (human,
infrastructure and financial)
- "Structural measures" to provide stability and high political profile to energy
technologies in the medium and long term.
– The SET-Plan could propose a dedicated Governance structure for European energy
research and innovation, progressively leading to joint planning, coordinating,
monitoring, and evaluating of European and national programmes and initiatives
– In addition, a number of support measures could facilitate these developments, e.g.
technology watch, capacities watch, low carbon technologies information system,
information and acceptance campaigns, etc…
