Europe is the homeland of renewable energies, which represented almost 60% of all new power in the EU in 2008 and is the world leader in total installed wind energy capacity, which increased by 15% in 2008 to reach 64,95 MW. Electricity production from wind is equivalent to the needs of 35 millions European families (4,2% of the total electricity demand in EU) and by the end of 2008 the world photovoltaic cumulative capacity exceeded 14 GWp: 2 million European families get electricity from solar.

Renewable energies employ more than 450.000 people and has an annual turnover of 45 billion Euros. The first legislation on this theme dates back to 1997 and forms the basis for the recently adopted EU Renewable Energy Directive: 20 % of renewable energies by 2020, the most ambitious legislation in the world in this sector.
