Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) refers to the European Union’s directive (2018/2001/EU), which is a revision of the initial Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC). REDII sets out a common framework for the promotion of energy from renewable sources. It came into force on December 24, 2018, and it establishes an EU-wide renewable energy target of at least 32% by 2030. The directive includes measures to support electricity production from renewable sources, sectoral targets for heating and cooling, transport, and specific advancements in bioenergy to ensure sustainability. REDII is part of the EU’s Clean Energy for All Europeans package, designed to facilitate the energy transition and ensure the EU meets its Paris Agreement commitments to combat climate change.

The directive lays down rules concerning:

– The overall EU target for renewable energy consumption by 2030
– National contributions to the collective EU target
– Calculating the share of renewable energy
– Support schemes for electricity from renewable sources
– Self-consumption of renewable energy
– Renewable energy use in heating and cooling
– Renewable energy use in the transport sector
– Sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions saving criteria for biofuels, bioliquids, and biomass fuels
