New EU’ renewable energy goals ‘hard to meet’

Poland will find it difficult, to meet the new upgraded renewable energy resources goals for 2030, approved by the European Parliament earlier this week, Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski said. “We will struggle to meet these goals along with other states,” he said, adding that the decision is not final. European Parliament approved the directive on renewable energy, calling for a renewable energy target of 35 percent of a country's total energy consumption by 2030 (from the previous 27 percent), and to increase member states energy efficiency by the same margin.
