An analysis by the European Wind Energy Association indicates that the EU will meet its 2020, 20% renewable energy target and even exceed it. In fact, of 21 member states, 13 will meet the 20% target and eight will exceed their national targets.
The top nation is Spain, which believes it will reach 22.7% renewables by 2020. Next on the list is Germany which expects to be 0.7% above its 18% target.
Only six forecast they will not manage to reach their target Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Bulgaria and Denmark, though the latter two countries state that with fresh national initiatives they could meet or exceed their targets. None of the six expect to be more than 1% below their target.
