Translation of "Erneuerbare energien ausbauen" in English

Expanding renewable energy, promoting clean mobility or renovating buildings: protecting the environment costs a lot of money.

The main goals were defined as follows: expanding renewable energies, boosting energy efficiency, and reducing CO2 emissions while at the same time upholding reliable supplies and the affordability of energy.

We want to continue expanding our market position through equivalent investments in Renewable Energies in the next five years, too, and we will have an equivalent demand for electrical and mechanical engineers with experience in project management.

The UK, which is in midst of an energy crisis partly caused by soaring gas prices, hopes to develop a new renewable energy sector allowing the country to produce 15 per cent of its energy capacity from renewables by 2020.

Not only did it celebrate its 20 years in Climate Alliance Austria in 2012, it also adopted the "Energy Action Plan Judenburg 2020": by 2020, Judenburg will avoid 28 per cent of CO2 compared to 1990 and foster renewable energies.

The Federal Government intends to considerably expand the share of renewables to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental importance

Rather, the approximation of the expansion of renewable energy is promoted to the expansion of electricity networks.

We want to increase the share of renewables, to increase the energy efficiency of buildings and products, and to increase investment in research and in measures for mitigating the effects of climate change.

You want to make progress on the internal market for energy, you want to slow down global warming, reduce CO2 emissions and extend the use of renewable energies, and you want to strengthen solidarity on energy matters.

The use of fossil fuels will continue to predominate but higher renewable energy production will make it vital to improve national and European networks dramatically (cf. EESC opinion Energy Roadmap 2050 and the "no-regrets" option7.

Renewable energies and their development is a sine qua non if tomorrow's Europe really is going to create lasting, consistent and sustainable locational advantages which are directly comparable with those of other world players.

Completion of the Med-ring electricity grid, projects in the pipeline such as Desertec, the Mediterranean Solar Plan, and Mediterranean cooperation itself should lead us to step up cooperation, in the Maghreb for example, in the areas of energy efficiency, renewable sources, transmission, grid interconnection, and the upgrading of generation and distribution systems.

The European Investment Bank is one of the world’s largest financiers of renewable energy and energy infrastructure.

Alongside wider use of renewable energies, other measures include appropriate expansion of power grids, intelligent power management systems and the use of storage technologies.

We must be willing to learn lessons from the past, for example on how to use natural orientation and also sunlight and renewable energies.

In this way, the domestic need for flexibility within Germany can be considerably reduced, even when the EU neighbouring countries also expand their renewable energy sources.

Our power plants that use new renewable energies contribute towards the development of safe, low-carbon electricity generation in Switzerland and Europe.

This strategy comprised amongst others measures for the development of renewable energy sources, power grids and energy efficiency.

Local leaders and authorities have created new choices, markets and job opportunities by using renewable energy, building non-motorised transportation options and creating ways to reduce solid waste.

In order to achieve these targets Switzerland must improve energy efficiency, increase the proportion of renewable energies and strengthen international cooperation.

Samsung's global locations will continue to expand the use of renewable energy to reduce our operational greenhouse gas emissions and to preserve the environment.

Although the use of renewable energies will be intensified over the next years, fossil energy sources will continue to play a pivotal role in the energy portfolio of Austria and the EU", says Mr. Mitterlehner.

With both these projects as well, we relied on the experience and professionalism of our partner Phoenix Solar and have successfully added to our investment portfolio in the field of renewable energies", explained Dr. Klaus Wolf, member of KGAL’s Board of Directors.

This is due to the resolution of phasing out of nuclear energy as well as the age of existing fossil power plants. On behalf of the Zukunftsrat Hamburg, the Bremer Energie Institut and the arrhenius Institut für Energie- und Klimapolitik have analysed the role of the intended expansion of conventional power plants. It was also analysed to which extend the usage of renewable energies and the expansion of combined heat and power generation as well as energy efficiency measures can contribute to filling the emerging gap.

Although the use of renewable energies will be intensified over the next years, fossil energy sources will continue to play a pivotal role in the energy portfolio of Austria and the EU", says Mr. Mitterlehner.In the past 75 years, RAG turned from being a pioneer in Austrian oil production to one of the largest operators of underground gas storages in Europe, which now hold volumes of approximately 5 billion cubic metres.

The Energy Concept pursues two fundamental strategies - the "core objectives" - in order to advance the energy transition: expanding the use of renewable energy and boosting energy efficiency .
