This dataset covers the indicator for monitoring progress towards renewable energy targets of the Europe 2020 strategy. Data until 2020 are calculated on the basis of RED I, while data for 2021 follow RED II. Due to the change of legal basis, a break in series occurs between 2020 and 2021. Readers are encouraged to analyse the differences between both Directives (RED I and RED II), the energy sector and all national specificities before drawing any conclusions from the comparison of year 2021 with previous time series. The SHARES Manual provides details on the methodology used for the calculation of the share of renewables.
The share of energy from renewable sources is calculated for four indicators: Transport (RES-T), Heating and Cooling (RES-H&C), Electricity (RES-E), and Overall RES share (RES).
