Renewable Energy Directive

Basic information

State of play

On 14 July 2021, the European Commission published a proposal for a recast Renewable Energy Directive (RED). The Council and Parliament adopted their negotiating positions in the summer of 2022. An interinstitutional agreement was found in March 2023, aiming to boost renewable energy shares at EU level to 42.5% by 2030.

The agreement also sets an indicative target of at least a 49% renewable energy share in buildings in 2030 and mandates a binding increase in renewables for heating and cooling of 0.8% per year until 2026 and 1.1% from 2026 to 2030.

The Council formally endorsed the final text on 16 June 2023. The Parliament should approve the agreement in September 2023. The recast RED will then be published and enter into force after the summer of 2023, after which it must be transposed into national law by the Member States.
