Europe 2020 targets - Sweden

SWEDEN: Sweden is doing well enough to relax a little on its annual wind power growth, despite having the top EU renewable energy target, set at 49%, up from 39.8% in 2005. The national action plan goes further, saying that 50.2% of Sweden's energy will come from renewable sources by 2020. It also says 62.9% of the country's electricity should come from renewable sources in 2020 but, surprisingly, wind power is only expected to generate 8.1% of this figure.
