“…In renewable energy regulation according to a new approach, instead of a target for each country, a common target is shared for implementation within the European Union (Eurostat, 2019). In this situation, new and innovative solutions will dominate renewable energy sources implementation, and it is worth analyzing how individual countries could increase renewable energy sources diversity by expanding upon the most effective examples from other countries or by integrating the energy market segmentation (Mezősi et al, 2018).…”

Purpose:The article aims to trace out the interplay of the share of individual energy sources in the total consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union countries. Approach/Methodology/Design: By taking into account the share of individual energy sources in consumption in 2015, the EU countries were divided into 5 clusters. For each cluster, the values of the indicators for 2005 were determined to assess the changes. Additionally, energy dependence and greenhouse gas emissions factors were included. Findings: During the 2005-2015 period, the consumption of renewable energy increased, while the carbon dioxide emissions felt. It is difficult to say unequivocally whether limiting CO2 emissions through increased renewable energy sources consumption can be considered sufficient. It should also be pointed out that there was no clear link between the increase in the share of renewable energy sources and the decrease in energy dependence in EU countries. Practical Implications: The study directly refer to ongoing political debate on CO2 emissions at both the community and national levels in EU countries. Originality/Value: The study offers the first of its kind examination of the the interplay of the share of individual energy sources in the total consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union countries.

“…The confidence and trust to RET could lead to extra education and R&D. According to the Eurostat data [39], Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, France and Germany have high (up to 3 %) R&D intensity in their countries. Unfortunately, in the Baltic States, R&D intensity cannot reach 2 %.…”

The development of renewable energy technologies (RET) depends on a wide range of criteria and regulations. To evaluate which RET (solar photovoltaic (PV), wind power plants (WPP), hydroelectric power plants (HPP) or bio-energy plants) have the greatest potential in Latvia, the most suitable approach is a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM). The proposed MCDM methodology involves TOPSIS model based on information entropy, which contributes as a criteria weighting tool. The study investigates seven main criteria from technical, economic, environmental and social aspects. Firstly, each alternative country is analysed due to the chosen RET criteria. Secondly, the assessment is extended, comparing specific data with Latvia’s MCDM of RET results. The research results show that, according to the best available examples of RET, hydro energy plants still play a substantial role for Latvia, the most promising RET development is based on bio-energy and wind renewable energies.

“…Photovoltaic solar (PV) has been attracting investors from all industry sectors, including oil and gas operators. Although the solar equipment providers and contractors were able to overcome the PV overcapacity crisis (Zhang et al, 2013) (Mezosi et al, 2018). Other factors can strongly influence production cost, the number of sunshine hours per year for PV and its distribution is a determining criterion, the objective is to reduce intermittence effect.…”

The aim of this article is to study the context and the challenges of the North African region in its quest towards energy transition. This work performs firstly a benchmark between the countries namely Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, in terms of fossil resources and renewable potential based on official data and statistics. The study then focuses on Morocco, who is developing a new energy transition model axed on renewable electricity generation. In order to highlight the importance of legislation and economic evolution, the study compares the high with medium voltage renewable electricity market. In fact, a framework law has been established allowing private investors to benefit from the national electricity grid to inject and sell high voltage renewable electricity. Not being the case for medium voltage, the electricity transition for this market is depending on its own business model and economic profitability, therefore, a financial profitability study is further conducted to evaluate medium voltage photovoltaic competitiveness. The study concludes with the profitability impact assessment if 50% of the investment amount is subsidized by state or any other organization. The results of this study are discussed considering the current legislative context, it demonstrates the importance of subsidies and state legislation to accelerate the energy transition towards renewable energy development.
