The final compromise text of the revised Renewable energy directive (RED III) was adopted by the European Parliament on the 12th of September and by the European Council on the 9th of October 2023. The publication to the European official Journal is planned for the end of October.
The revised directive set renewed objectives by 2030, including a general binding target of 42.5% share of renewable energy in the EU final gross consumption.
While Member States (MS) will have to transpose the new text into national law within two years of publication, several elements will have to be already included in the draft update of the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) due by 30th June 2023 and revised by the beginning of 2024, following European Commission advises to MS.
