SHARE OF ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES IN EU

• The target to be reached by 2020 for the EU28 is a share of 20% renewable energy use in gross final energy consumption

• The national targets take into account the Member States' different starting points, renewable energy potential and economic performance

Share of energy from renewable sources by Member State and Europe 2020 target In 2012 Spain was at 14.3%


Even if the production of geothermal energy in Europe has grown in the last 10 years, geothermal energy contributed only 0.2% of total net production from renewable energy in the EU-28 countries.

STATE OF THE ART IN EUROPE Geothermal energy

STATE OF THE ART IN EUROPE Geothermal energy - Spain

At present, geothermal energy still has a low penetration in Spain’s energy balance, despite the importance of Spanish geothermal resources (Only 0.02 % of the energy consumption in Spain in 2010 was generated by geothermal energy).

STATE OF THE ART IN EUROPE Geothermal energy - Spain

• According to the new Renewable Energy Plan 2011-2020, geothermal energy will be competitive with traditional energy sources in 2024
