The Commission has today published a call for evidence on designating renewables acceleration areas under the recently revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU/2023/2413). Citizens and stakeholders are invited to submit their feedback for 4 weeks until the call closes on 23 February 2024.

The evidence collected through this call will help inform a guidance document for EU countries on designating renewables acceleration areas for wind and solar energy projects, given their relevance to achieve the 2030 renewable energy targets. The guidance document is scheduled for publication by the Commission by April 2024, as a deliverable under the European Wind Power Action Plan. EU countries will then have until 21 February 2026 to designate renewables acceleration areas for one or more types of renewable energy sources in order to comply with the requirement of the recently revised directive .

Feedback received will be published on the Commission website and therefore must adhere to the feedback rules.
