- The renewables obligation
- Ref:
- 0136-GovC
- Author:
- BERR information pages, March 2009
- Type:
- External Web Link
- Link:
- www.berr.gov.uk/energy/sources/renewable...
- These pages explain the renewables obligation and include key stages of its development and proposed future changes. The renewables obligation requires licensed electricity suppliers to source a specific and annually increasing percentage of the electricity they supply from renewable sources. The current target is 7.9% for 2007/08 rising to 15.4% by 2015/16. There were two consultations in 2007 that looked at the long term reform of the renewables obligation; explanations and links to these can be found within these web pages.v show details

- The UK Renewable Energy Strategy was launched in spring 2009, following the major consultation carried out in 2008. The consultation sought views on how to drive up the use of renewable energy in the UK, as part of our overall strategy for tackling climate change and to meet our share of the EU target to source 20% of the EU's energy from renewable sources by 2020. As part of the move to a low-carbon economy the government aims to introduce, we need a dramatic change in renewable energy use in electricity, heat and transport. The UK signed up to the EU Renewable Energy Directive in 2009, which includes a UK target of 15 percent of energy from renewables by 2020. This target is equivalent to a seven-fold increase in UK renewable energy consumption from 2008 levels: the most challenging of any EU Member State. While such an increase is ambitious, and will be challenging, the Department is fully committed to meeting the target.v show details
