EurObserv-ER reports
The State of Renewable Energies in Europe
EurObserv’ER has released its annual publication 'The State of Renewable Energies in Europe' (February 2010).
The publication is available for free download at : http://www.eurobserv-er.org/pdf/bilan9.asp (168 pages, French/English language, 6.6 MB)
‘The State of Renewable Energies in Europe’ is a synthesis of the technology Barometers published during 2009 (with data up to and including 2008). The publication gives detailed capacity and energy performance data for all 27 Member States of the European Union (for wind power, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy and solar thermal electricity, small hydropower, geothermal energy, ground source heat pumps, biogas, biofuels, municipal solid waste, solid biomass and ocean energy, see pages 10 - 87 of the document). Included as well in ‘The State of Renewable Energies in Europe’ is a chapter on socio-economic indicators (employment, turnover) for most technologies in a selection of Member States (pages 96 - 135). The publication concludes with seven country case studies, where specific regions are particularly strong in renewable energy industry: this regards regions in Italy, Luxembourg, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden and Slovakia (pages 136-163).
The upcoming Wind Power Barometer from EurObserv'ER is expected later this month.

About the EurObserv’ER Barometer Targeting the press and the interested general public, the EurObserv’ER consortium releases ‘thematic barometers’ every other month. The barometers focus on the latest state of renewable energies (solar energy, wind power, hydropower, geothermal energy and bioenergy) in EU member states.
Note: the interactive database on the website (click on ‘Interactive EurObserv’ER Database’ on the http://www.eurobserv-er.org homepage) allows you to download the Barometer data separately. This allows you to create your own graphs to be used in your publication.
The EurObserv’ER barometer is a project supported by the European Commission within the DG TREN Intelligent Energy Europe programme and by Ademe, the French Environment and Energy management Agency. The EurObserv’ER Barometer is the result of the investigation and research work of its authors. The European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein.
