In connection with the observed adverse climate changes Brussels proposes to reduce up to 80% use of electricity from conventional sources by 2020.According to the European Union in the answer to these assumptions should be increase the production of clean energy from ecological sources, ex: solar, wind or water. At the end of the second decade of the current century it will be one fifth of European needs. However, the use of new, green technologyrequires a change in the whole system - the so-called. 'System Innovation'.This article presents a transformation from a technical economy based on conventional energy sources for environmentally sustainable development as a system change. Presenting various theoretical models of innovation the authors discuss how has to change social and institutional context that new technologies for using renewable energy sources are no longer niche.
