Contents Executive summary Introduction EU policies on electricity generation from renewables National support schemes and other measures for meeting the 2020 targets Support for wind and solar from the ERDF and CF Audit scope and approach Observations The increased share from renewables in the gross final energy consumption is not enough to reach targets Significant progress, particularly in electricity, might not be enough to meet the EU 2020 target RED I increased the deployment of renewables, but reporting is insufficiently timely to take corrective action Member States visited incentivised investment in wind and solar PV installations, but reducing support schemes slowed deployment The four Member States examined incentivised investment in wind and solar PV power, though they made little use of cooperation mechanisms Adjustment of the high initial levels of support, especially for solar PV, deterred potential investors The growth of renewable electricity is hindered by insufficient auctions and practical barriers for producers Various limitations delay wind and solar PV investments Spatial planning rules limit the development of wind installations in two of the Member States examined Lengthy administrative procedures complicate the business environment for new wind projects in particular Delays in grid investment, including interconnection infrastructure, have held back deployment Paragraph I-VI 01-15 07-09 10-12 13-15 16-20 21-79 21-30 22-26 27-30 31-56 32-36 37-51 52-56 57-68 58-59 60-62 63-68 2 Cohesion policy funding helped increase wind and solar PV capacity, but also involved cases of oversubsidisation In comparison with RED I, the revised EU regulatory framework further supports the expansion of renewables but important deficiencies remain Conclusions and recommendations Annexes Annex I — Data for wind in the EU-28 Annex II — Data for solar in the EU-28 Annex III — List of projects examined Annex IV — Average progress made in the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption until 2017 and average progress needed to meet the 2020 targets for all Member States and the EU Annex V — Share and capacity of renewables in EU-28 and the four Member States examined: targets and final values, 2010-2017 Annex VI — The main support schemes of the four Member States, evolution of wind and solar PV capacity (1999-2017) and tariffs offered to renewables producers for the same period Acronyms and abbreviations Glossary Replies of the Commission Audit team 69-73 74-79 80-89 3 
Oneskorenie investícií do prenosovej sústavy vrátane infraštruktúry prepojení je prekážkou pri nasadzovaní technológií Financovanie v rámci politiky súdržnosti pomohlo zvýšiť kapacity veternej a slnečnej FV energie, vyskytli sa však v súvislosti s ním aj prípady nadmerných dotácií V porovnaní so smernicou RED I revidovaný regulačný rámec EÚ naďalej podporuje rozširovanie využívania obnoviteľných zdrojov energie, ale nerieši niektoré dôležité nedostatky Závery a odporúčania Prílohy Príloha I — Údaje o veternej energii v EÚ-28 Príloha II — Údaje o slnečnej energii v EÚ-28 Príloha III — Zoznam preskúmaných projektov Príloha IV — Priemerný dosiahnutý pokrok v podiele energie z obnoviteľných zdrojov na hrubej konečnej spotrebe energie do roku 2017 a priemerný pokrok potrebný na splnenie cieľov všetkých členských štátov aj EÚ do roku 2020 Príloha V — Podiel a kapacita energie z obnoviteľných zdrojov v EÚ-28 a štyroch kontrolovaných členských štátoch: cieľové a konečné hodnoty, 2010 – 2017 Príloha VI — Hlavné systémy podpory v štyroch členských štátoch, vývoj kapacity veternej a slnečnej FV energie (1999 – 2017) a výkupné ceny ponúkané výrobcom energie z obnoviteľných zdrojov v rovnakom období Akronymy a skratky Glosár Odpovede Komisie Audítorský tím 63 – 68 69 – 73 74 – 79 80 – 89 3
