Renewable Energy

The NECP (2019) aims to increase the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption to 22% by 2030, including 30.7% for heating and cooling, 16.9% for electricity, and 14% for transport. The target set in the National Renewable Energy Action Plan for 2020 of a 13.5% share of renewable energy in final energy consumption in 2020 was slightly exceeded (16% in 2019, of which 14% for electricity, 23% for heating, and cooling and 7.8% for transport).

Further, the NECP aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the transport sector to 14 % by 2030. The biofuel target was set at 10.8% in 2020 (7.8% in 2019). Law No. 201/2012 mandated a minimum share of biofuels in petrol and diesel. Fuel suppliers were obliged to gradually reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy contained in the fuel over the fuel's life cycle (-6 % by the end of 2020).
