Directive (EU) 2023/2413 amends existing legislation to promote energy from renewable sources within the European Union. It was adopted in October of 2023 and modifies Directive 98/70/EC, Regulation (EU) 2018/1999, and Directive (EU) 2018/2001. The regulation intends to support the Union's climate neutrality goal while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency. It promotes the adoption of renewable energy sources and a fair energy transition by expediting the permit-granting process.
