/3rd May 2019, RENEWABLE MARKET WATCHTM/ The Netherlands will not fulfil its EU 2020 renewable energy targets of 14%. The share of renewable energy will reach below 12.5%, according to the latest forecasts. However, there is quite an impressive pipeline of solar photovoltaic power projects in the Netherlands. The country is undertaking serious efforts to transform its energy system. Historically, the Netherlands relied heavily on its gas reserves, but with natural deposits dwindling, the country is looking to renewable energy to meet its energy demands.
