The National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) template, published on the 30th of Jun gives governments a binding framework for drawing up the steps they will take to meet binding national targets set out in the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive (Directive 2009/28/EC). The template explicitly states that Member States are to set national sectoral targets for electricity, transport, and heating and cooling and outline the expected contribution of each renewable energy technology to these targets.
Member States must complete and submit their NREAPs to the European Commission by 30 June 2010. Should they fail to do so, or should the Commission consider that a Plan is insufficient to meet the legally binding national renewable energy target, it can start infringement proceedings against the Member State in question.
