Indicators 23.1 to 23.3 Share of renewable energy sources in gross inland ener- gy consumption in the EU (1990 and 1997). Heat and electricity production from renewable energy sources in France and the EU (1989-1997). The data was obtained from EUROSTAT. The different renewable energy sources taken into account are: hydropower (for the data on France but not for the data on the EU as a whole, this is broken down into three categories depending on the capacity of plants: 1 MW, 1- 10 MW and 10+ MW), hydropower (all plants), wind energy, solar pan- els, photovoltaics, geothermal power, biomass (broken down into 10 categories: municipal solid . . .

The data on France is forwarded to EUROSTAT by the Center for Studies and Economic Research in Energy (CEREN) which uses EUROSTAT’s energy equivalents.  . . .
