Abstract

For European Union the promotion of energy from renewable sources is an essential part of its energy policy, which contributes largely to the implementation of the Strategic framework of Energy Union. The new regulatory framework after 2020, which was proposed by the European Commission as a part of the "Clean Energy for All Europeans" package is based on the experience gained under the existing Renewable Energy Directive. The new regulations package aims to further strengthen the renewable energy resources policy and to maximise the use of these resources in buildings, transport and industrial sectors. The article presents the governance of renewable energies in the European Union, with a focus on 2009/28/EC Directive and its revision. Also, for each EU Member State it is analyzed the share of energy from renewable sources in the final energy consumption. In the final part of the article, the regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on the governance of the Energy Union and the progress report in the area of renewable energies are being exhibited.
