Abstract
In order to move away from a carbon-based generation of electricity many countries are pursuing a policy of increasing the share of renewable energy. EU has introduced its 20-20-20 plan of 20% increase in energy efficiency, 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, and 20% share of renewable energy by 2020. To follow up the EU renewable energy directive Norway and Sweden signed an agreement in 2010 of a substantial increase in the construction of renewable power for electricity generation in Scandinavia in the next 10 years.
