Proposal for a DIRECTIVE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL amending Directive (EU) 2018/2001 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, Directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings and Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency

Summary

The European Union is facing challenges with energy security, high prices, and the need to accelerate its green transition due to geopolitical events, exacerbated by cumbersome administrative procedures for renewable projects. This proposal aims to address these issues by amending existing directives to significantly raise targets for renewable energy use and energy efficiency by 2030, streamline permitting processes, and boost solar deployment on buildings. The initiative is currently in the planning stage, as it is a formal proposal to amend existing legislation.
