Figure
Gross final energy consumption of renewable and non-renewable energy sources, 2005-2015 and approximated RES share 2016
European data
Metadata
-
Methodology:
Based on:
• Renewable energy data from Eurostat, reported by MS under the Energy Statistics Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 and the Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC) and published in the SHARES - Short Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources tool.
• 2016 approximated estimates for renewable energy use estimated by EEA.
Targets and trajectories based on:
• Part A and B of Annex 1 of Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC.-
Units:
Million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) and % on total gross final energy consumption

Additional information
Eurostat, 2016 calculates RES consumption and as part of this process normalises wind and hydro electricity generation, which is part of the RES share numerator. However, the total consumption of electricity included in the denominator is not normalised. In the figure above, non-normalised gross final energy consumption is displayed together with RES shares in which the numerator has been normalised.
