Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2018/2001 (REDII) sets the obligation of increasing the share of renewable energy in the heating and cooling sector by an indicative 1.3 percentage points annually. The RED II outlines the methodology to calculate the shares of renewable energy in electricity, transport and heating; however, it does not provide a methodology on how to take into account renewable cooling. The European Commission opened the discussion on the draft act that establishes a methodology for calculating the amount of renewable energy used for cooling and district cooling. Check out the EU Commission’s draft delegated regulation.
