Reaching Energy Security in Europe through Renewables
Grzegorz Wiśniewski and Zbigniew M. Karaczun
Meeting 100% of Europe’s electricity needs through renewable energy by 2050 is possible – if we succeed in pooling the potential of Europe’s renewable energy sources. This will require cooperation between EU member states, as well as coherent policies and regulation at the European level. Both currently exist only in fragmented form as energy policy in Europe is still shaped mainly at the national level. The Heinrich Böll Foundation therefore asked a number of experts to take stock of European policy in the sectors most important for the transition to renewable energy, to identify the areas in which European cooperation has been inadequate to date, and to propose possible solutions.

In this publication two Polish experts, Grzegorz Wiśniewski and Dr. Zbigniew Karaczun, consider how the collective use of renewable energies by European countries in electric power generation can improve energy security in Europe. Especially in the period leading up to the Polish presidency of the EU Council in the second half of 2011, in which questions related to energy security will supposedly play an important role, bringing attention to the importance of renewable energy sources in this context seems very significant and worth emphasizing.
