Summary
GeneratedThe revised Renewable Energy Directive raises the EU's binding renewable energy target to at least 42.5% by 2030, with an aspirational goal of 45%. It affects the energy, transport, industry, and heating/cooling sectors, introducing faster permitting and new sub-targets for industry. Signed in October 2023, the legislation is now in force.
