Reply to comment by netz_pirat in The European Union to nearly double the share of renewables in the 27-nation bloc's energy consumption by 2030 amid efforts to become carbon neutral and ditch Russian fossil fuels. by chrisdh79

I could not find it in the article but in the news yesterday it sounded like germany is far from it so I assumed it is regarding total energy consumption, so including heating and transportation, not only power. Does anyone know what the 42% are referring to?

From the euractiv article on the same subject:

>Member states have committed to collectively reach a share of at least 42.5% of renewable energy sources (RES) in the EU’s gross final energy consumption by 2030.

So it's all energy, including heating and transport. Germany was at 19% in 2021 according to eurostat.
