Map (static)
The bar charts represent the gross final renewable (green) and non-renewable (grey) energy consumption of the EU-28. The white dots show the renewable energy share of the EU-28 compared to the target in 2020.

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.
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.
