Adaptation challenges and opportunities for the European energy system
This report explores the historical trends, most recent progress and projected future progress on climate change mitigation through reduced GHG emissions, renewable energy gains and improved energy efficiency. It builds upon data reported by the EU-27 Member States, five EEA member countries and nine Contracting Parties of the Energy Community.

Energy prosumers and cities
In an increasingly urbanised world, cities and municipalities play a key role in the energy transition and the decarbonisation of society. Prosumers (producer-consumers) of renewable energy can help to accelerate this transition in cities. This briefing builds on recent EEA work on prosumption by focusing on the challenges and opportunities that urban areas present, and on how local authorities can promote prosumption in their cities.
Share of renewable electricity in gross electricity consumption (%) 1990-2009 and 2010 indicative targets
The renewable electricity share in Norway is above 100% in some years because a part of the (renewable) electricity generated domestically is exported to other countries. No data is available for Iceland or Liechtenstein.
Share of renewable energy in total gross energy inland consumption (in %)
The table shows the share of renewable energy in total gross energy inland consumption (in %)
Share of energy consumption from renewable sources in Europe
In 2024, renewables accounted for 25.2% of final energy consumption in the European Union, around one percentage point more than in 2023. The increase was mainly driven by solar and wind power, followed by heat pumps, supporting greater energy independence. The share of renewables is expected to continue rising. Achieving the EU minimum target of 42.5% by 2030 will require doubling average deployment rates compared with the past decade and a profound transformation of the European energy system.
National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) data from Member States
A compiled dataset on renewable energy trajectories extracted from the submissions of the Member States to the European Commission, and an accompanying document which summarises the main points of the data.
