First Italian progress report [on renewable energy resources] on Directive 2009/28/EC

Abstract

Article 22 of Directive 2009/28/EC requires Member States to submit a report to the Commission on progress in the promotion and use of energy from renewable sources by 31 December 2011, and every two years thereafter. The sixth report, to be submitted by 31 December 2021, will be the last report required. Member State reports will be important for monitoring overall renewable energy policy developments and Member State compliance with the measures set out in Directive 2009/28/EC and the National Renewable Energy Action Plans of each Member State. The data included in these reports will also serve to measure the impacts referred to in Article 23 of Directive 2009/28/EC. Consistency in Member State data and reporting would be useful.
