The EU is working to reduce the effects of climate change and establish a common energy policy. As part of this policy, European Heads of State or Government agreed in March 2007 on binding targets to increase the share of renewable energy. By 2020 renewable energy should account for 20% of the EU's
final energy consumption (8,5% in 2005). To meet this common target, each Member State needs to increase its production and use of renewable energy in electricity, heating and cooling and transport.
The Belgian target is for about 13% in 2015. (2005 = 2.2%)
Policy measures in Belgium contain incentives to use the most cost-effective
technologies. Biomass is traditionally strong in Belgium, but both hydro-power and onshore wind generation have shown strong growth in recent years.
Renewable energy sources are being supported by investment incentives in all three regions. The maximum level of support is as high as 15% in the Walloon region and 20% in both Flanders and Brussels.
