Ahead of the TTE Council on 26 June, EREF joins 11 European renewable energy associations urging Energy Ministers to hardwire a robust post-2030 renewable energy framework. Investor confidence depends on it. 1/4
Our joint asks: binding 2040 renewables target, EU funds rewired for private capital leverage, fast-tracked permitting harmonisation, investment-oriented Governance Regulation, and EU-wide technology-specific auctions. 3/4
Dramatic changes to the current investment-inducing Renewable Energy Directive must be avoided. Full letter here: eref-europe.org/hardwiring-i… #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #TTECouncil 4/4
A beehive stays resilient because every node matters. Europe's energy system should work the same way. 🐝 This week, EREF President Dörte Fouquet spoke at EUSEW on the lessons learned from the RRF and REPowerEU for renewable energy deployment across EU Member States. 1/5
Three failures any successor instrument must fix: 🏘️ SMEs and energy communities bypassed by default. ⏱️ Deadline rigidity penalising projects outside developers' control. 🛢️ Fossil fuel exemptions locking in gas under a security-of-supply carve-out. 4/5
EREF joins a broad coalition of renewable energy, energy efficiency and civil society organisations in a joint letter to EU leaders: build on what works for the post-2030 energy framework, and go further. 🌍 1/4
Our joint call: binding RE and EE targets, enforceable delivery, full protection of RED and EED, accelerated flexibility and storage, and stronger cross-border cooperation. No weakening. No dilution. 3/4
Renewable energy is Europe's most cost-effective, most strategically secure and most rapidly scalable energy asset. The post-2030 framework must reflect this and deliver on it. Full letter: eref-europe.org/energy-secur… #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #Post2030 4/4
Strengthen what works: renewable energy, investment certainty and delivery in the post-2030 governance framework. EREF has submitted its input to the Governance Regulation consultation. Our message: delivery, not deregulation. 1/4
Europe's competitiveness challenge lies in weak implementation, not excessive EU ambition. Simplification must not become reduced scrutiny. Full paper in the link below. #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition 4/4
EREF joins 75+ partners from civil society and business: no further weakening or delay of ETS2. The EU must ensure ambitious, on-time implementation of the Emissions Trading System for road transport and buildings. 1/4
"In an era of geopolitical instability, Europe's dependence on fossil fuels is a strategic vulnerability. ETS2 is critical to accelerate the fossil phase-out and redirect investment towards renewable energy. Delaying it now would be a costly mistake", Dörte Fouquet 3/4
Our demands: 🏃 ETS2 up and running in 2028, no delay or budget increase ✅ Strong complementary climate, social and fiscal policies 😶🌫️ Public participation in ETS2 revenue spending. Full letter: eref-europe.org/ensuring-an-…
