We are delighted to announce that the RES LEGAL Europe database has been thoroughly revised and updated. As the project is terminated by 01/2019, this was the final update.
The database covers all relevant support schemes, grid issues and policies for renewable energy sources in three energy sectors – electricity, heating & cooling and transport – not only for all 28 EU Member States, but also for the EFTA Member States as well as some accession countries. You can access the updated information on the current legal and political framework for RES free of charge at: http://www.res-legal.eu/

On behalf of the European Commission, RES LEGAL has been updated and turned into the RES LEGAL Europe database. In addition to the 27 EU-Member States the new database covers the EFTA, accession and associated countries of the EU. Moreover, it includes all three energy sectors: electricity, heating & cooling, and transport. Furthermore, alongside with the already covered support schemes and grid issues, also a new sector – policies – is presented. Last but not least, additional features such as a comparison tool and pdf generators has been implemented.
