KEY FACTS AND FIGURES
The European Union is currently on track in terms of its indicative trajectory.
- In 2011, the EU-28 were slightly above track regarding the overall RES share planned in their National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs), and thus also comfortably above the 2011/2012 interim target defined in the RES Directive.
- Out of the 27 Member States analysed in this publication, nine are expected to meet their 2020 targets (Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, Latvia, Romania and Sweden). There are doubts concerning four Member States (Germany, Finland, Ireland and Slovakia). It is expected that Belgium, the Czech Republic, Spain, France, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia and the UK will not meet their 2020 targets.
