The European Union has committed itself to a goal of reaching 20 % share of renewable energy in its total energy consumption by 2020. A corresponding goal is to reach a certain share of renewables in the sector of electricity generation. This paper examines whether the EU is able to reach its goals through its current public policy. First, obstacles preventing renewables from better market integration are identified. Then union soft- and hard-law legislative support of renewable sources of energy is discussed. Last chapter analyses the EU's response to the identified obstacles and its public policy in the field of renewables.
