Methodological explanations
Energy from renewable sources is the energy derived from natural, repetitive environmental processes, obtained from renewable non-fossil energy sources (energy: water, wind, solar heat, geothermal heat, waves, sea currents and tides and energy obtained from biomass, biogas, biofuels). In domestic conditions, energy from renewable sources comprises energy obtained from direct use of solar heat, wind, geothermal resources (from the Earth), water and energy generated from biomass, biogas, biofuels.
Electricity gross generation - energy transformations output in the form of electrical current, as measured on generator contacts.
