The Commission proposed that the Union 2030 target for the share of renewable energy consumed in the Union should be at least 27 %. That proposal was endorsed by the European Council in its conclusions of 23 and 24 October 2014, which indicated that Member States should be able to set their own, more ambitious, national targets in order to deliver their planned contributions to the Union 2030 target and exceed them.
Bheartaigh an Coimisiún gurb é sprioc an Aontais don bhliain 2030 gur fuinneamh inathnuaite a bheadh in 27 % ar a laghad den fhuinneamh a úsáidtear san Aontas.Thacaigh an Chomhairle Eorpach leis an sprioc sin ina conclúidí den 23 agus 24 Deireadh Fómhair 2014, mar ar thug sí le tuiscint go mba cheart go bhféadfadh na Ballstáit bheith in ann spriocanna náisiúnta níos uaillmhianaí a leagan síos dóibh féin d'fhonn a gcuid féin, agus breis nach é, de sprioc 2030 an Aontais a thabhairt i gcrích.
