Overview
This second edition's core objective is to provide a complete overview of the relevance of renewable energy in all EU Member States and the developments in these countries over time.

Not only are development plans and requirements by the State and other authorities included in this volume, but it also includes: legislative requirements for renewable energy * support mechanisms * grid access rules * grid code * supervision of the renewable energy sector * overview of planning * construction and operation * use of specific structural and cohesion funds for renewable energy project development.
