The Council of Energy Ministers of the European Union reached an agreement on Thursday to increase the production of electricity from renewable sources.
The goal is to reach 42.5% renewable energy by 2030, practically double the current 22%.
The agreement, also a necessary measure to deal with Russia’s energy dependency, must now be voted on in the European Parliament.
In the long term, the European Union’s goal is to become a “climate neutral” economy by 2050, with zero greenhouse gas emissions.
