Ten-Year Network Development Plan 2017 Main Report
Figure 2.11 using Eurostat data, shows the share of renewable energy in the gross
final energy consumption for the EU-28 is 16% in 2014, slightly above the target set
by the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs). Sectors are performing
at different levels and transport is believed to have challenging but feasible path
from 5.9% in 2014 to 10% in 2020.
In order to reach the 2030 targets for total energy consumption from renewables,
the European Commission estimates that this will require approximately a 45%
share of renewables in the total electricity production. In 2014, Eurostat reports that
the EU28 reached 27.5%.
