On 15 June 2021, Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is hosting a webinar on "EU’s Global Leadership in Renewables". CEPS, in cooperation with COWI and Prognos, has carried out a study for the European Commission’s DG Energy on “EU’s Global Leadership in Renewables”. With the adoption of a new 55% net greenhouse gas emission reduction target, the existing target of at least 32% by 2030 will need to be increased. With EU’s commitment to become a global leader in renewable energy, how can the EU maximise the competitiveness of the European renewable industry and generating positive socio-economic impacts?
This launch event will present and discuss the main findings of the study. More specifically, the following topics will be covered:
- The economic impacts of EU renewable energy’s value chain and their competitiveness
- The socio-economic impact of EU policies of promoting renewables within the EU and globally
- Proposed policy solutions to support the competitiveness of the EU renewable energy industry
