According to the European Commission’s plan called RepowerEU, by 2030, half of the EU’s energy will come from renewable sources, more than double what it currently has. The project will cost hundreds of billions of euros, but more money will be saved by saving on imported fuels. However, rapid action is required to achieve this.

(Here is the latest news)

A നാപി.ഹു As part of the plan, the EU has introduced a number of measures, from doubling the speed of heat pumps to creating ‘target areas’ for renewable energy sources. Between steps The European Commission has also introduced an initiative for solar roofs, which will make it mandatory to install solar panels in new public and commercial buildings and new residential buildings by 2029.

The transformation of Europe’s energy system is also urgent, as the European Union wants to end its dependence on Russian fossil fuels, which cost European taxpayers 100 billion a year. The commission said this week. Released earlier this year.

As part of the REPowerEU project, the EU aims to deploy 320 GW of photovoltaic energy (more than double the 2020 level) by 2025 and approximately 600 GW by 2030. By 2020, solar power will account for about 5% of total EU power generation. To reach the 2030 target, the EU needs to deploy an average of 45 GW per year.

To this end, the EU is strongly committed to the “Solar Roof Project”. Roof-mounted solar panels are estimated to account for about 25% of the EU’s electricity consumption and the current share of natural gas. The EU argues that these facilities can be installed faster while protecting consumers from higher energy costs and that switching energy is cheaper than it is today.

The plan calls on the EU and national governments to reduce the licensing period for rooftop solar installations, including large-scale ones, to a maximum of three months, by the end of this year. From 2027, solar roofs will be mandatory for new public buildings, commercial buildings and residential buildings from 2029.

To this end, the EU will establish support frameworks to support roofing systems, including an unpredictable payback period of less than 10 years, combining energy storage and heat pumps. The project is expected to increase 19 TWh of power after the first year of implementation and add a total of 58 TWh of power to the system by 2025.

The European Commission aims to increase its current goal of reducing energy consumption through energy efficiency from 9% to 13% by 2030. The committee encourages governments to implement policies to increase energy savings, for example by reducing taxes on energy-efficient heating systems and building insulation.
