Romania placed above the European Union average, in 2018, in terms of energy used for heating and cooling.

According to Eurostat data published on Monday, in Romania, over 25% of total energy production came from renewable sources, a higher percentage than in France, Italy, Spain or Germany.

Sweden stood out among EU Member States with almost two thirds (65%) of the energy used for heating and cooling in 2018 stemming from renewable sources. More than half of the energy used for heating and cooling came from renewable energy sources in Latvia (56%), Finland (55%) and Estonia (54%).

In contrast, renewable sources contributed the least to heating and cooling in Ireland and the Netherlands (both 6%), Belgium (8%) and Luxembourg (9%).
