Breaking down the barriers to solar photovoltaic development: More work needs to be done

PV LEGAL project finds that despite some progress, many EU Member States still must remove obstacles to the deployment of renewable energy systems, especially solar PV

Brussels, 8 February 2012 – One year after the deadline for transposing the RES Directive, with which the EU aims to reach 20% of renewable energy sources (RES) by 2020, how well have Member States done in reducing bureaucratic barriers to the development of solar photovoltaic (PV) power? PV LEGAL, a two-and-a-half-year European initiative, answers this question in a new report looking at 12 key countries.
