This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Energy Systems at the
International Hellenic University.
This Dissertation examines the support schemes that have been used since 1990, while
special attention is given in the policies that have been implemented in Spain,
Germany and Greece since the adoption of the Directive 28/2009/EC. It focuses on the
development of the wind and the solar photovoltaic sectors and information of the
tariffs which are paid to producers of renewable energy are provided. Furthermore the
energy dependence and intensity as well as other parameters of the energy sector are
examined. In addition to this in the conclusions there is a brief description of the
current policies in the mentioned Member States of European Union, where the
reader can clearly understand the differences between them. Lastly it includes the
obstacles that limit the further development of the renewable energy sector and also
some possible suggestions in order for Greece to achieve its objectives that were set
for 2020.
I wouldlike to thank my family for their support in this difficult effort as well as
professor Eftichios S. Sartzetakis for the excellent cooperation.
