Financial Investments of over 1 Billion Euros Push Baltic States Ahead of Western EU Counterparts in Renewable Energy Targets
In a recently published European Union report, which showed the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to be the least energy efficient EU member states in terms of renewables, the same findings showed that the Baltic States of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia make up over 30% of the EU countries that have already met their 2020 renewable energy targets. The EU has made it mandatory that all 28 member states will have to source 20% of their total energy outputs from renewables by 2020, and 27%...
Innovation Paves Way for Next Stage of Global Energy Transformation
Brussels, Belgium – Countries at the forefront of the energy transformation are getting more than a third of their energy from variable renewables like solar and wind, and they’re doing it in a cost-effective manner. By making use of innovative solutions that allow to integrate a higher share of renewables into power systems, innovation holds the key to a cost-effective global energy transformation. These findings come from a first-of-a-kind mapping and analysis of innovations that will trans...
