In 2012, energy from renewable sources was estimated to have contributed 14.1 percent of gross final energy consumption in the 28 countries of the European Union, up from 8.3 percent in 2004, the first year for which data was available. The goal is to increase this percentage to 20 by the year 2020.

Those EU counties who use the most renewable energy include Sweden (51 percent of total consumption), Latvia (estimated at 35.8 percent) and, coming in third, Finland with 34.3 percent. Over the last ten years, growth in the use of renewable energy has been most significant in Sweden, Denmark and Austria.
