Methodology:
The general methodology applied for approximating RES values in the year t-1 is described in the Renewable energy in Europe – Approximated recent growth and knock-on effects 2015 EEA report. The cut-off date for most data sources incorporated in the calculation of the approximated 2019 RES shares was 31 July of the year of publication. Confidence in the estimated RES share proxy values is greatest in the electricity sector. The dynamics in the renewable heating and cooling market sector may be underestimated, because the available data are more limited in this sector. Finally, the specific accounting rules in Directive 2009/28/EC concerning renewables consumed in transport are difficult to replicate. Despite these challenges, the estimation of RES share proxies yields plausible results in most cases and should be further improved, especially if more timely information and data that are relevant for the estimations become available.

Additional information
This current data set concerns the EEA 2019 RES share proxies. The RES share proxy data for 2019 are presented per Member State and for the European Union as a whole, as total RES share (Total RES share proxy), share of renewable energy in gross final electricity consumption (RES-E proxy), share of renewables in gross final heating and cooling energy consumption (RES-H/C proxy) and share of renewable energy consumed in transport (RES-T proxy). The shares are calculated in accordance with the methodology under Directive 2009/28/EC. The EEA 2019 RES share proxies formed the basis of a specific EEA country consultation. Where reported by countries during consultation, national data were used. Nevertheless, the proxy data are not a substitute for data that countries officially report to Eurostat and to the European commission in the context of their legal obligations.
