Summary

The ECA assessed the results of renewable energy generation projects co-financed by cohesion policy funds contributing to the relevant EU 2020 target. It concludes that, while they delivered outputs as planned, multiple investment projects were not guided by the principle of cost-effectiveness or lacked a real EU added value. The ECA recommends that the Commission promotes the principle of cost-effectiveness in EU co-financed support programmes and that the Member States establish a stable and predictable renewable energy regulatory framework. Moreover, the Member States should apply minimum cost-effectiveness criteria, applied to projects' circumstances, and enhance EU added value through improved project implementation, monitoring and evaluation.--, EU Bookshop
