# Data analysis: share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption in the EU in 2024

Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash

## Findings

**Share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption in the EU in 2024: 25.2%**

According to the Eurostat dataset "Share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption by sector"[^1], the EU (EU27, from 2020) reached **25.24%** renewable energy in gross final energy consumption in 2024 — i.e. just over a quarter of final energy came from renewable sources.

For context, the same source shows how the EU has progressed and how the overall figure breaks down by sector in 2024:

| Category | 2024 share (%) |
| --- | --- |
| **Overall (gross final energy consumption)** | **25.2** |
| Electricity | 47.5 |
| Heating & cooling | 26.7 |
| Transport | 11.2 |

This is a steady increase from 9.6% in 2004, with notably strong growth since 2020. The long-run trend is shown in the chart generated in the code run . (The dataset also contains a 2025 figure of 26.2%, but as 2024 is the latest full year of actual data, the 2024 value of 25.2% is the appropriate answer.)
