Abstract: The paper includes the issues related to sustainable development in the energy-using sectors in the European Union countries. The paper presents the analysis of participation of renewable energy in the total energy consumption in these sectors of the European economy. It was found that participation of renewable energy in the total energy balance continues to increase, differs in each country and is not dependent on the macroeconomic situation. Strong positive correlation between participation of renewable energy and afforestation rate was found, which is caused by largely involvement of biomass in renewable energy. The research indicates that the economic aspect for sustainable energy development is of low importance, the ethical field and the need to preserve resources for future generations are crucial.
