Publication metadata
In 2008 renewable energy accounted for 10,3 % of gross final energy consumption (all sectors and sources; thermal, fossil, nuclear, renewable, …) of 1213.9 Mtoe in the EU-27. 16.6% of the gross electricity consumption of 3357 TWh (EU-27) was produced by renewable energy sources (Figure 1). Hydropower covered about 60% of the renewable electricity production. The total electricity consumption is expected to rise by 8% up to 3530 TWh from 2005 to 2050. With an increasing electricity production of the renewable energy sources of up to 1200 TWh or 34% of total electricity consumption in 2020, the contribution of HP to the electricity production from renewable sources will decrease to about 30%.
