Abstract: The purpose of my research is to compare the use of renewable energy sources in the Visegrád Group and Romania. The widespread renewable energies are solar, wind, hydropower and biomass energy. I chose these countries because they had similar fate and presents. I was wondered whether they can catch up Western Europe in the use of the renewables. In the 20th century, these countries had enough resources without the renewables. However, the spreading of the renewables have begun in these century, and its spreading accelerated after the joining to the European Union. The Middle European countries have begun use the renewables earlier, and they utilized their possibilities but for nowadays Romania has become a significant factor in the European renewable energy production, tight behind the Western members.From the database of Eurostat, we made some ratios to compare the countries with each other and the European average production. With means we could measure the share of the renewables in the whole national production in average, and the deviations for each country. Finally we made a possible forecast for the increasing of the renewables in the examined countries.
