Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to explore the legal framework for renewable energy in EU law. To this end, some key issues in European renewable energy policy will be outlined. The central part of the paper presents an overview of EU secondary law for renewable energy sources, with particular attention to its historical development issues, as well as the new Directive (EU) 2018/2001 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, which revised the Directive 2009/28/EC. These considerations will also take into account the impact of environmental law on EU energy law. The last part of the paper examines the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU in the field of renewable energy.
