Energy in Europe
Energy in Europe includes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in Europe.
Primary energy consumption by fuel
In the European Union, the total primary energy consumption reached a peak in 2006 and decreased by 12 % since then[1]:
Primary energy consumption by country
Primary energy consumption for selected European and Eurasian countries in million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) from 2010 to 2015, according to BP, is listed below.[2]

Renewable energy
The twelve newer EU Member States in Central and Eastern Europe plan to increase wind power capacity from the 6.4 gigawatts installed at the end of 2012 to 16 gigawatts by 2020.[4][5]
If renewable electricity production in the EU continued to grow at the same rate as it did from 2005 to 2010, it would account for 36.4% of electricity in 2020 and 51.6% in 2030, following:[6]
