Share of renewable energy in final energy consumption (ENER 028) - Assessment published Mar 2013
-
The share of renewable energy in final energy consumption in the EU-27 reached 12.5% in 2010 representing 60% of the Europe 2020 target (20%). Renewable energies represented in 2010, 14.3% of total final heat consumption, 19.6% of electricity consumption and 4.7% of transport fuels consumption.

Renewable gross final energy consumption (ENER 028) - Assessment published Apr 2012
-
In 2009, the share of renewable energy in final gross energy consumption (with normalised hydro and wind) [1] in the EU-27 was 11.7 % up from 6% in 1990, representing nearly 60 % of the 20 % target set in the EU directive on renewable energy for 2020. Renewable energies represented in 2009, 13.1% of total final heat consumption (6.6% in 1990), 19.6% of electricity consumption (up from 11.8% in 1990) and 4.1% of transport fuels consumption (up from 0.02% in 1993) [2] .
[1] Gross final consumption of energy is defined in Directive 2009/28/EC on renewable sources as energy commodities delivered for energy purposes to final consumers (industry, transport, households, services, agriculture, forestry and fisheries), including the consumption of electricity and heat by the energy branch for electricity and heat production and including losses of electricity and heat in distribution and transmission.
[2] The gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources is calculated as the sum of: (a) gross final consumption of electricity from renewable energy sources; (b) gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources for heating and cooling; and (c) final consumption of energy from renewable sources in transport.

In
2008, the share of renewable energy in final gross energy consumption (with
normalised hydro and wind) [1] in the EU-27 was 10.4 % (up from 6% in 1990, 7.6
% in 2000), representing half of the 20 % target set in the EU directive on
renewable energy for 2020. Renewable energies represented in 2008, 11.8% of
total final heat consumption (up from 6.3% in 1990, 9% in 2000), 17% of
electricity consumption (up from 12% in 1990, 13.8% in 2000) and 3.4% of
transport fuels consumption (up from 0.02% in 1993) [2]

In
2007, the share of renewable energy in final energy consumption (with
normalised hydro) in the EU-27 was 10.0 % (up from 6.7 % in 1993), representing
half of the 20 % target set in the new EU directive on renewable energy for
2020. Renewable energies represented in 2007, 11.6% of total final heat
consumption (up from 7.6% in 1993), 16.3% of electricity consumption (up from
12.8% in 1993) and 2.6% of transport fuels consumption. In the EEA countries,
the share of renewable energy in total gross final energy consumption was 11.3%
in 2007.
