The EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED) is a cornerstone of European energy and climate policy and a key component of the European "Fit for 55" initiative. Its first version came into force in 2009 and has since undergone multiple revisions. The directive aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the EU's final energy consumption and make the energy supply more sustainable and climate-friendly.
The latest version sets a binding target for renewable energy to account for 42.5% of the EU's total energy consumption by 2030. Additionally, the member states have agreed on a non-binding target of 45% renewable energy in the building sector's final energy consumption. The directive defines national contributions, promotes the expansion of solar, wind, and hydropower, and establishes regulations for the use of renewable energy in heating, electricity, and transportation.
In the commercial building sector, the directive provides clear guidelines for the use of renewable energy, such as promoting photovoltaic systems, heat pumps, and solar thermal systems. It calls on member states to reduce legal and bureaucratic barriers to the expansion of renewable energy. For property owners and operators, this means that investments in renewable technologies are not only environmentally sound but also politically supported, fostering a transition to a more sustainable energy landscape.
