Share of energy from renewable sources by country (annual)
Annual share of energy from renewable sources (percent), overall and by sector, for EU member states, EFTA countries and EU candidate countries. Eurostat dataset nrg_ind_ren ('Share of energy from renewable sources'), filtered to percentage unit. Each row is one (year, country, component): the overall share (REN), transport (REN_TRA), electricity (REN_ELC), heating and cooling (REN_HEAT_CL) and the two waste-heat-and-cold variants. Method: Eurostat compiles national energy balances; non-EU/EFTA/candidate countries are dropped (same licensing rule as the other Eurostat datasets). Units: percent. Caveats: recent years are provisional and revised. Coverage: 2004 to the present, yearly. Provenance: Eurostat keyless JSON-stat API, free reuse with attribution (Commission Decision 2011/833/EU) - please cite Eurostat. Primary key: (year, country_code, component). Join keys: country_code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), year. Cadence: refreshed yearly. Sample use: filter component='REN_ELC' and country_code='DEU' to track Germany's renewable electricity share.
