B. Targets

Targets are an increasingly important governance tool for managing the complex energy transition process. Renewable energy targets are typically embedded in a larger framework of targets. Ideally, there is a hierarchy of targets, bridging economy wide net zero targets with deployment targets for wind and solar PV in the electricity sector. In total, this includes net zero targets, targets for decarbonizing the energy sector, targets for decarbonizing the electricity sector, targets for renewables in the electricity sector (with specific targets for individual technologies such as solar PV and wind energy).
