Share of energy from renewable sources in electricity generation in Ireland from 2007 to 2018
The source adds the following information: "This dataset covers the indicator for monitoring progress towards renewable energy targets of the Europe 2020 strategy implemented by Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources. The annual data collection covers in principle the 28 Member States of the European Union. Time series starts in the year 2004. The calculation is based on data collected in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 on energy statistics and complemented by specific supplementary data transmitted by national administrations to Eurostat.
In some countries the statistical systems are not yet fully developed to meet all requirements of Directive 2009/28/EC, in particular with respect to ambient heat captured from the environment by heat pumps. The share of energy from renewable sources is calculated for four indicators: Transport (RES-T)
Heating and Cooling (RES-H&C) Electricity (RES-E) Overall RES share (RES)"
