Abstract

2 Evaluating progress in 2010
In spring 2010, European and international climate experts at PwC, the European Climate
Forum, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the International Institute
for Applied System Analysis published 100% Renewable Electricity – A roadmap to 2050
for Europe and North Africa. The report examined the potential for powering Europe and
North Africa with renewable electricity exclusively by 2050. It set out a series of financial,
market, infrastructure and government policy steps that would need to occur if such a ‘what
if’ vision was to be achieved.
Now, a year on, this latest report provides a complementary analysis to the original
roadmap. PwC, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the International
Institute for Applied System Analysis, look at whether the vision of 100% renewable
electricity has moved closer or further away as a result of current and recent developments
over the last 12 months. The report, intended to support the wider debate in this area,
examines five areas that are most critical to achieving progress and, through the lens of
these five areas, looks at the impact of recent and current events.
