Final the European Parliament confirmed climate and energy package, which provides for greater use of renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency.


Eu leaders confirmed so-called "20/20/20" package to tackle climate change. The 27 member states of EU will cut carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 (compared whit level in year 1990), make 20% increase in use of renewable energy by 2020 and cut 20% in energy consumption through improved energy efficiency by 2020.

Stavros Dimas (European Commissioner for the Environment):
"Today is one of the few opportunities where policy can really write history".

EU residents will in the future enjoy greater financial assistance for use of Energy-efficient systems.

In other words we will build cheaper solar power plants, heat pumps ...
