(2012, background): “…34% of the electric-2 ity shall be provided by renewable energies in 2020 (EU Commission, 2006).3 Major contributions will come from wind and solar energy due to their large4 potential, attractive feed-in tariffs in many countries and expected cost re-5 ductions (Edenhofer et al., 2010; IEA, 2011).”
