Meeting the Targets and
Putting Renewables to Work


This is the website of the MITRE project (Monitoring and Modelling Initiative on the Targets for Renewable Energy) which has set out to monitor the European Union renewable energy targets and to inform key policy and decision makers of the economic (employment) benefits of a proactive renewable strategy.

With positive action from the Member States, the targets can be achieved, but the timeframe in which to implement these strategies is not long.

The economic benefits of such renewable energy growth are also large, with potentially more than a million new jobs being created in and by the European renewable industry by 2010.

The MITRE team aims to encourage the development of renewable strategies that will increase employment, European competitiveness and technological expertise, while also improving security and diversification of supply.

MITRE will achieve its goals if it increases awareness of renewables at government level, promotes the implementation of positive renewable policies and helps to expand the debate towards the further integration of renewable energy in Europe.

The final results of MITRE are now in the public domain. These are as follows:
