The European Union has committed to ambitious long-term renewable energy targets, but is falling behind its objective to source 35% of electricity consumption from renewable sources by 2020. The region's ongoing sovereign debt crisis, coupled with the rising cost of renewables support schemes, has led to a series of policy adjustments that undermine deployment of new renewables capacity. This Analyst Briefing provides an up-to-date assessment of modifications to Europe renewable policies and their impact on key technology segments including wind, solar and biomass. Key questions addressed in this webcast include: What trends are shaping current European renewable power policymaking? What are the different approaches and impacts for onshore wind, offshore wind, solar PV, solar CSP technology segments? How will recent incentive scheme modifications in Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, and the UK impact market growth?
