The climate policy of the European Union changes the way consumers think and gives rise to considerations in the context of investments in renewable energy sources. The basis for these activities is Directive 2009/28 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77 / EC and 2003/30 / EC. Then an important document is the so-called Green Paper: A 2030 Climate and Energy Policy Framework and Clean Planet for All - Europe's long-term strategic vision for a thriving, modern, competitive and climate neutral EU economy has set itself energy and climate targets that should be met by 2020, 2030

and 2050.
