RED draft report: welcoming technology and reducing bureaucracy

After the European Commission presented a proposal for the revision of the Renewable Energies Directive (RED III) as part of its Fit for 55 package, the Parliament’s rapporteur, Markus Pieper (EPP), has now presented his draft. The energy policy spokesman for the CDU/CSU group advocates making the expansion of renewables technology-neutral and allowing transitional solutions. He criticizes the instruments proposed by the Commission as „half-hearted and uncreative“.
