On 31 January 2011, the European Commission presented its ‘Communication on the progress of renewable energy in the European Union’. Among others it shows that the 2020 renewable energy policy goals are likely to be met and even exceeded if Member States fully implement their National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs). The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) compiled a database and data report on the NREAPs, commissioned by the European Environment Agency (EEA). This report has proven to be useful in accessing and evaluating the renewable energy projections and is referred to in the above-mentioned Communication from the European Commission.
ECN has released a final update of the report on the Renewable Energy Action Plans as submitted to the Commission by the European Member States. The report and the updated database are available from www.ecn.nl/nreap, covering all 27 European Member States. A summary report is available as well.
