  1. CURRENT ENERGY POLICY CHALLENGES. THE 2030 ENERGY AND CLIMATE FRAMEWORK DG Energy, European Commission 1

  2. Europe's dependence is set to increase

  3. 2005 2005 2008 2008 2020 2020 2030 2030 EU fossil fuel import dependency in % 94,1% 92,7% 84,3% 82,8% 82,4% 75,9% 62,3% 57,7% OIL GAS

  4. What does this mean for the EU energy policy? • Internal dimension: need to reduce energy dependence by… • energy efficiency • interconnections among EU MS and markets integration • indigenous energy sources, notably RES, but also conventional and non-conventional fossil fuels • Storage… • External dimension: • Action to diversify energy suppliers and routes • International Cooperation on clean energy technologies, energy efficiency and market design

  5. Progress towards climate/energy 20-20-20 goals Reduce greenhousegas levels by 20% Increase share of renewables to 20% Reduce energyconsumption by 20% 100% Current trend to 2020 2011 emissions: -17% ~16-20% Target: -20% Current trend to 2020 -20% ?

  6. The 2030 frameworkwillbuild on the 2050 Roadmaps 2050 Roadmaps 2030 Green Paper Proposals for the 2030 framework for climate and energy policies 2011 March 2013 January 2014 On-going discussions with Member States, EU institutions and stakeholders

  7. EU objective for 2050: GHG emissions down to 80-95% below 1990 levels Looks forward to elaboration of a low-carbon 2050 strategy – a framework for longer-term action in energy and related sectors The Energy Roadmap 2050 as a basis for developing a long-term policy framework European Council Aim of the Roadmap • Give more certainty togovernments and investors • Explore routes towards a low-carbon energy system by 2050 which improve competitiveness and security of supply • Basis for developing the 2030 policy framework and concrete milestones with MS, EP and stakeholders

  8. Energy savings throughout the system are crucial Gross energy consumption in the EU - range in current trend (REF/CPI) and decarbonisation scenarios (in Mtoe) Range for current trends scenarios Range regarding decarbonisation scenarios

  9. Transformation of power generation at the centerpiece Gross Electricity Generation in the EU by fuel (TWh) in the Diversified Supply Technology scenario (Energy Roadmap 2050) Source: European Commission

  10. 75% 50% 25% 0% RES Gas Nuclear Oil Solid fuels 2005 Renewables move centre stage – but all fuels can contribute in the long-run Decarbonisation scenarios in Energy Roadmap 2050 - fuel ranges (primary energy consumption in the EU in %) 2050 Source: European Commission

  11. The next step for the EU is to define the 2030 framework for energy • The immediate priority is to implement the EU's 2020 Energy Strategy, including the 20 20 20 targets • The next step is to define the EU's 2030 framework for energy: • On the basis of the Energy Roadmap 2050 and the reactions to it • Must reflect all objectives of EU energy policy: • Competitiveness • Sustainability • Security of energy supply • Three no regrets options for the longer term strategy: Source: European Commission Renewable Energy Infrastructure Energy Efficiency

  12. Early agreement on the 2030 framework is essential

  13. These are the main issues to be considered for the 2030 framework
