| Abstract | This paper
investigates whether the EU's governance framework facilitates an ambitious
transition to renewable energy sources (RES) in the EU and its Member States.
First, we propose a comprehensive concept of ambition based on targets, target
achievement and enforcement procedure. Second, we analyze empirical evidence
regarding these aspects for RES policy in the EU. In particular, Member States'
progress towards the 2020 RES targets suggests a modest effect of the EU
governance framework on national RES ambitions. Instead, national RES expansion
trajectories seem to be strongly path-dependent. Meanwhile, frontrunner Member
States' over-achievements enable the EU to close in on its 2020 target. |
