Reviewed context
What this data shows
Eurostat update 15 Sep 2026 · Editorial version 1.0.0
What do the EU renewable-energy indicators measure across the covered energy-balance categories?
For the EU27 in 2024, renewables supplied 25.2% of the overall measure, 11.2% in transport, 47.5% in electricity, and 26.7% in heating and cooling. These are four separate percentages with different sector denominators; they must not be added together.
How to read it
The reviewed presentation retains annual Eurostat observations for EU27_2020 and the category codes REN, REN_TRA, REN_ELC and REN_HEAT_CL. Values are read directly from the pinned JSON-stat response and rounded to one decimal place for display.
Trend comparisons should begin in 2021 or explicitly explain the methodology break between 2020 and 2021. Provisional 2025 observations are excluded from the reviewed comparison.
Observation coverage
- Unit
- Percentage
- Period
- 2020–2024
- Geography
- European Union — 27 countries from 2020 (EU27_2020)
- Frequency
- Annual
- Series
- Overall renewables, transport, electricity, and heating and cooling
Limitations
- Each percentage has a category-specific denominator and the four values cannot be summed into a combined renewable share.
- The reviewed scope describes the EU27 aggregate and does not represent every member state individually.
- The 2020–2021 methodology break affects comparisons across that boundary.
- The asset page is a dataset reference; broader interpretation belongs in the linked Cite Supply insight.
