Indicator-based report to measure progress of environmental integration within the energy sector.
Renewable electricity as a percentage of gross electricity consumption, 2003
The renewable electricity directive (EC, 2001a) defines renewable electricity as the share of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in total electricity consumption
Renewable electricity generation in selected countries and regions (percentage of global total renewable electricity generation)
The renewables considered include hydro (small and large), biomass and waste, wind, geothermal, solar, tide and wave.

Residential energy consumption in the Western Balkans by energy carrier, 2004
Share of combined heat and power in gross electricity production in 2002
The method for data collection by Eurostat on CHP was revised in 2000 and 2002 and has tended to decrease the overall share of electricity from CHP
Share of combined heat and power in gross electricity production in 2004
The most recent available data are for 2004.In Cyprus and Malta there was no CHP generation in 2004.The share is defined as the proportion of CHP electricity production (from both private and public utilities) in total gross electricity production, including generation in pumped storage power stations
Share of combined heat and power in gross electricity production in 2006
The most recent available data are for 2006
Share of combined heat and power in the gross electricity production in 2005
The share is defined as the proportion of CHP electricity production (from both auto-producers and public utilities) in the total electricity production
Share of electricity consumption in final energy consumption by region in 2004 and projections for 2030
International comparison
Share of electricity production by fuel, EU-25
Electricity produced from pumping in hydro power plants is not considered a renewable source of energy and it is not shown in the chart.
Share of final energy and electricity consumption by sector in 2003, EU-25
Mtoe means million tonnes of oil equivalent; TWh means Terrawatt hours.
Share of renewable energy sources in electricity consumption in 2004 and targets for 2010 for EU-25
This graph presents the share of renewable energy sources in electricity consumption in 2004 and targets for 2010 for the EU-25, the EU-15 and all EU-25 Member States.
Share of taxes in the electricity prices paid by households in 2007
Shares of renewable energy sources in total energy consumption and in total electricity consumption, 1992-2004
Targets for 2010 and share of electricity production met by renewable energy sources in 2002
Total energy consumption and final electricity demand vs. GDP growth 1990-2030
Trends in energy efficiency, ownership, and overall electricity consumption of selected household appliances, EU-15
Trends in energy GHG emission factors and % renewable electricity (EU-27)
The figure displays the percentage of renewables in electricity generation for the total EU-27 countries, plus estimates of the carbon intensity of grid electricity and average transport energy in the EU-27.
Average annual growth rate in electricity consumption by sector, 1990-2008 and 2007-2008, EU-27
Since 1990, in the EU-27 the electricity consumption increased in the service sector (including agriculture) at an annual growth rate of 2.6 %. In total, the electricity consumption increased by 59.2 % between 1990 and 2008. The main reasons for increased electricity consumption in the service sector were the sustained growth of this sector throughout the EU, the increased use of electrical appliances (such as air conditioning, lighting or IT equipment) and the penetration of new electrical devices
Efficiency (electricity and heat) from autoproducers conventional thermal plants, 1990, 2010
Output from conventional thermal power stations consists of gross electricity generation and also of any heat sold to third parties (combined heat and power plants) by conventional thermal public utility power stations as well as autoproducer thermal power stations. Due to inconsistencies in the Eurostat data set Bulgaria, Greece, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Norway are excluded for all years (efficiencies >100%). For Cyprus, Iceland and Malta data on autoproducers is not available, therefore they are also excluded for all years.
Efficiency (electricity and heat) from public conventional thermal plants, 1990, 2010
Output from conventional thermal power stations consists of gross electricity generation and also of any heat sold to third parties (combined heat and power plants) by conventional thermal public utility power stations as well as autoproducer thermal power stations.
Electricity consumption per capita (in kWh/cap) in 2008
The average electricity use per capita in the EU-27 is over 2.3 times the global average and 2.8 times that of China. Only Luxembourg, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland are using more electricity per capita than in the United States. The rest of the EU-27 is well below the US
Electricity intensity in the service sector
Unit consumption per employee is the ratio between the energy consumption (total or electricity) and the number of employees (salaries employed in full time). The energy (or electricity) intensity is the ratio between the energy (electricity) consumption and the value added expressed in constant Euros (M€2000)
Electricity intensity and electricity consumption per employee in services
Unit consumption per employee is the ratio between the energy consumption (total or electricity) and the number of employees (salaries employed in full time). The energy (or electricity) intensity is the ratio between the energy (electricity) consumption and the value added expressed in constant Euros (M€2000)
Estimated impact of different factors on the reduction in emissions of CO2 from public electricity and heat production between 1990 and 2008, EEA-32
The chart shows the estimated contributions of the various factors that have affected emissions from public electricity and heat production (including public thermal power stations, nuclear power stations, hydro power plants and wind plants).
