This tracker has been updated with information that was available to us as of January 2024. It is subject to change based on new information we receive.
In our trackers, when clicking on a specific country, you will find an overall descriptive assessment of the national legislation that transposed the EU provisions, as well as a table with a short but detailed assessment of each indicator. The sources that we used for the assessment of the transposition process in each country are the legislative texts which were made public.
How to understand and use this tracker
The purpose of the transposition tracker is to assess the progress of the transposition of the provisions on definitions for RECs and CECs, as well as enabling frameworks and national support schemes for RECs. These provisions were introduced by the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and the Internal Electricity Market Directive (IEMD). It should be noted that the deadline for the transposition of the IEMD and the RED II into national legislation has already passed.
The Definitions of RECs and CECs tracker provides an overall comparative assessment of the progress of the transposition with regards to the definitions in the different European Member States following a modified traffic light grading system. Each Member State has a specific colour to represent how far they have progressed towards transposing EU rules on energy communities.
Each Member State’s overall grade is informed by a qualitative assessment based on a set of indicators representing the elements that must be included to properly transpose provisions on definitions for RECs and CECs, and enabling frameworks and support schemes for RECs. When clicking on a specific country, you will find an overall descriptive assessment of the national legislation that transposed the EU definitions, as well as a table with a short but detailed assessment of each indicator. The sources that we used for the assessment of the transposition process in each country are the legislative texts which were made public, either on a final version or a draft.
