Abstract

In this article, the authors paid attention to the analysis of the European Union’s energy strategy. The sources of energy are analyzed, how they are used and especially the results recorded in this area, by total, by sources or by member countries. Attention is paid to the analysis of domestic energy demand satisfaction and data on countries importing or exporting energy. Using data published by the European Union and Eurostat highlights how evolved primary energy production, both in the European Union and of each member country. In this context, the analysis regarding the results achieved by Romania in the field of energy is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of investments in energy production, the cost of energy production, and energy consumption. Romania makes efficient use of energy resources, being an exporter of electricity. In the study, the authors used data sets, tables, graphs and diagrams that facilitate understanding of structure analysis.
