Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC (Text with EEA relevance) (c. 28)

ANNEX VI Minimum requirements for the harmonised template for national renewable energy action plans

1. Expected final energy consumption:

Gross final energy consumption in electricity, transport and heating and cooling for 2020 taking into account the effects of energy efficiency policy measures.

2. National sectoral 2020 targets and estimated shares of energy from renewable sources in electricity, heating and cooling and transport:

(a)

target share of energy from renewable sources in electricity in 2020;

(b)

estimated trajectory for the share of energy from renewable sources in electricity;

(c)

target share of energy from renewable sources in heating and cooling in 2020;

(d)

estimated trajectory for the share of energy from renewable sources in heating and cooling;

(e)

estimated trajectory for the share of energy from renewable sources in transport;

(f)

national indicative trajectory as referred to in Article 3(2) and part B of Annex I.

3. Measures for achieving the targets:

(a)

overview of all policies and measures concerning the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources;

(b)

specific measures to fulfil the requirements of Articles 13, 14 and 16, including the need to extend or reinforce existing infrastructure to facilitate the integration of the quantities of energy from renewable sources needed to achieve the 2020 national target, measures to accelerate the authorisation procedures, measures to reduce non-technological barriers and measures concerning Articles 17 to 21;

(c)

support schemes for the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources in electricity applied by the Member State or a group of Member States;

(d)

support schemes for the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources in heating and cooling applied by the Member State or a group of Member States;

(e)

support schemes for the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources in transport applied by the Member State or a group of Member States;

(f)

specific measures on the promotion of the use of energy from biomass, especially for new biomass mobilisation taking into account:

(i)

biomass availability: both domestic potential and imports;

(ii)

measures to increase biomass availability, taking into account other biomass users (agriculture and forest-based sectors);

(g)

planned use of statistical transfers between Member States and planned participation in joint projects with other Member States and third countries:

(i)

the estimated excess production of energy from renewable sources compared to the indicative trajectory which could be transferred to other Member States;

(ii)

the estimated potential for joint projects;

(iii)

the estimated demand for energy from renewable sources to be satisfied by means other than domestic production.

4. Assessments:

(a)

the total contribution expected of each renewable energy technology to meet the mandatory 2020 targets and the indicative trajectory for the shares of energy from renewable sources in electricity, heating and cooling and transport;

(b)

the total contribution expected of the energy efficiency and energy saving measures to meet the mandatory 2020 targets and the indicative trajectory for the shares of energy from renewable sources in electricity, heating and cooling and transport.
