Twelve Member States have reached a share equal to or above their 2020 target.
In 2018, the share of energy from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption reached 18.0% in the European Union (EU), up from 17.5% in 2017 and more than double the share in 2004 (8.5%), the first year for which the data are available.
The increase in the share of renewables is essential to reach the EU climate and energy goals.
