(4) Directive 2009/28/EC established a regulatory framework for the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources which set binding national targets on the share of renewable energy sources in energy consumption and transport to be met by 2020. Commission Communication of 22 January 201412 established a framework for future Union energy and climate policies and promoted a common understanding of how to develop those policies after 2020. The Commission proposed that the Union 2030 target for the share of renewable energy consumed in the Union should be at least 2735%. _________________ 12 "A policy framework for climate and energy in the period from 2020 to 2030" (COM/2014/015 final).

Recital 18
(18) Without prejudice to adaptations of support schemes to bring them in line with State aid rules,State aid schemes shall follow the principle that renewables support policies should be stable and should avoid any frequent and retroactive changes. Such changes have a direct impact on capital financing costs, the costs of project development and therefore on the overall cost of deploying renewables in the Union. Member States should prevent the revision of any support granted to renewable energy projects from having a negative impact on their economic viability. In this context, Member States should promote cost- effective support policies and ensure their financial sustainability.

Recital 53
(53) The consumption of electricity generated by on-site installations using renewable sources by single or multiple customers helps these customers to reduce their electricity bills and to be part of the energy transition. If properly designed, installations generating electricity from renewable sources for direct, local use can contribute not only to lowering grid investment and management cost, but also to achieve sustainable energy goals. With the growing importance of self- consumption of renewable electricity, there is a need for a definition of renewable self- consumers and afor the setting of a supportive European regulatory framework which would empower self- consumers to generate, store, consume and sell electricity without facing disproportionate burdens. Collective self- consumption should be allowed in certain cases so that citizens living in apartments for example can benefit from consumer empowerment to the same extent as households in single family homes.
