EU renewables targets


Sweden achieved a 44 percent score for energy production from renewables in 2008, the highest in the EU, according to the Swedish Energy Agency. Biomass, hydro power and wind account for the majority of its clean energy supply. The UK, by comparison achieved 2.3% from renewables (5.5% from green technology, whatever the difference is). Sweden’s target for 2020 is 50% compared with the UK’s 15%. Given our coastline, wind and financial resources (do we still have these???), you’d think the UK could do better.
