Dentons Europe is delighted to present the 2021 edition of our Guide to investing in renewable energy projects in Europe. Our publication grows in stature every year, just as renewables become ever more central to Europe’s energy mix, contributing to the modernization and strengthening of the economies in our region. With the global drive to a green recovery, renewables have gained even greater prominence as Europe’s leading example of balanced, yet sustainable development, in a world where what matters is not only how prosperous and rich we are, but also how we can positively contribute to the wellbeing of present and future generations. Colleagues from more than 20 jurisdictions have prepared a concise overview of renewables developments at various policy levels – the EU, member states and other countries in our region, which are no less ambitious in their implementation of plans and measures. We are also fortunate to be joined by leaders like BloombergNEF, WindEurope, SolarPower Europe, and Cummins Inc., who have all added so much to this Guide. Welcome to the 2021 edition of our Guide to investing in renewable energy projects in Europe. Let it be a small contribution to your plans, whether you are deciding on a new project or renewables investment, or are simply looking to better understand where we are heading across Europe, towards a better, greener and economically viable future.
