Renewable Energy Directive (RED)

The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) is an EU policy aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy sources, like wind, solar, and biomass. Its main goals are to increase the share of renewable energy in the EU's energy mix, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance energy security. By setting binding targets and encouraging investments in renewables, the RED supports the transition to a more sustainable energy system. It also fosters innovation and job creation in the renewable sector, helping to combat climate change while ensuring affordable energy for consumers.
