Press conference - The impact of offshore windmills on fisheries

The support system allowed the country's first projects to move forward: in 2010, as the country's first wind farm came online, the figure zoomed from zero to 82MW.   The Orites wind farm, which was developed by local firm K Ellinas Energy and received financial backing from London- and Paris-based independent private equity firm Platina Partners, is made up of 41, 2MW machines from Danish manufacturer Vestas and became operational in September. With Ellinas commissioning this first wind farm, it was a big step towards fulfilling targets, notes Sylvia Trabert, head of project management at Wincono Cyprus, a joint venture between local developer Ketonis and Germany's Wincono, on 30 March, 2016

MEP's debate and vote on a new law to accelerate the granting of permits for new renewable energy power plants, such as solar panels or windmill. The plan is to reduce the maximum length of the approval process for new installations. The "renewable acceleration areas" are defined by each Member State depending on wether they are able to install renewable at a faster pace. MEPs debate (part 2)

This video stockshot provides examples of EU-financed projects in the Climate and Energy sectors. Promoting clean energy and fighting climate change are key priorities for the EU. The featured projects in Greece, the Netherlands, Austria, France, Sweden, Finland and Germany are funded by different EU instruments such as Horizon 2020, the European Regional Development Fund and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the heart of the Juncker Plan.

This stockshot shows three examples of hydrogen use: a hydrogen-powered vessel, the production and use of hydrogen from wind turbine electricity, and the construction of the world’s largest electrolyser for producing hydrogen from renewable sources.

Infoclip: European Green Deal - Hydrogen strategy

This video stockshot offers illustration footage of various types of adaptation measures. Some projects are directly EU-funded, whereas others are part of the European Climate Adaptation Platform Climate-ADAPT, promoting access and sharing of data and information on how to adapt to climate change.

Infoclip: European Green Deal - Adaptation to climate change

This infoclip illustrates the Green Deal and the effects of climate change in the perspective of the State of the European Union Debate 2020 (pollution, ice melting, fire forest, deforestation, floods, windmills, solar panels, electric car...).

Infoclip: Green deal - Climate change

This infoclip illustrates the effort sharing regulation and shows the gas emissions in different sectors such as buildings, agriculture, waste management, small industry and transport.

Infoclip: Effort sharing regulation - gas emission reductions

This infoclip illustrates the use of renewable energy in Europe : photovoltaic installation on a house in Belgium, photovoltaic park in Greece, wind energy park in Belgium, production of biomass in France, biogas production site in Germany and pellet production in Belgium.
