Winners and losers in EU renewables 'revolution' - Highlights from EurActiv debate
A "revolution" has begun at all levels to meet the EU's long-term goals on renewable energy -- but there will be winners and losers, warned policymakers at a Fondation EurActiv debate on Tuesday. This video shows highlights from the debate.
Europe must spend much more on new infrastructure to get renewables into the grids, but the system has to be commercially viable, the participants agreed.
The debate, hosted by Fondation EurActiv in the European Parliament, was held in the light of the EU's 2020 energy strategy, which was endorsed by EU leaders at the first ever energy summit on 4 February.
"More than 70% of all investments in supply in the next ten years must be in renewables in order to reach the binding targets," stressed MEP Claude Turmes, vice-chair of the Greens group in the European Parliament.
