EREF European Renewable Energies Federation Still: Barriers must be removed Market distortions, dominance of incumbent industry, lack of internalising externalities and intransparent procedures and administrative barriers are important reasons for relatively slow market penetration of renewable energy. àThese barriers have to be removed. àStrong political will and effective and cost efficient support mechanisms are necessary. Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes - EREF-President Warsaw, CEOC-Conference –May 30, 2011 5
EREF European Renewable Energies Federation Support Schemes should. . . § … pave the way for market introduction and market penetration of different forms of RES. § … foster rapid increase of deployment of RES. § … encourage and trigger cost reduction. Ø Removal of administrative barriers and transparent and efficient support mechanisms are key elements for providing investment security for future oriented industry.

EREF European Renewable Energies Federation 20% by 2020 – Europe can do more! § EU-27: Surplus of about 1% above the 2020 target § 25 MS forecast to achieve or exceed their binding 2020 targets within national borders § Only Italy and Luxembourg plan to use Coop. Mex to meet binding 2020 targets § According to the RES industry projections, the EU-27 could reach 24. 4% Source: EREC_EU Roadmap Rainer Hinrichs-Rahlwes - EREF-President Warsaw, CEOC-Conference –May 30, 2011
