Renewables: progress towards 2020 consumption targets

In 2013, the EU28 share of renewable final energy consumption reached 15%, up from 10.5% in 2008, and from an average of 13.5% in the two previous years, which is in line with achieving the 2020 20% renewables target. According to the National Renewable Energy Action Plans adopted by EU countries in 2010, a 20.6% renewables share should be achieved, which implies a growth rate of absolute renewables consumption of 5.4% per year.
