Eurostat has published data on the share of RES in the final consumption of all energy, not just electricity. It shows that in the European Union, this share oscillates around 22 percent.
What does this information tell us? Firstly, it tells us where the Union is on the road to achieving 32 percent of energy from renewable sources. This target is to be reached by 2030. Meanwhile, Eurostat figures show that the EU is getting rather nowhere near it.
"The share of gross final energy consumption from renewable sources at the EU level reached 21.8 percent in 2021. Compared to 2020, this was a decrease of 0.3 percentage points and the first decrease ever," the EU statistics office reported.
In Poland, it is even worse. It reached a 15.6 percent share of RES in final energy consumption in 2021. This means that Poland is in 21st place out of 27 EU Member States.
