Spain imports most of the oil consumed domestically.There are 10 refineries in Spain.

52% of Italy’s energy comes from oil, 20% of which comes from Italy, the rest is imported.

40% of Bulgaria’s energy comes from oil.

Slovenia heavily depends on imports of oil and oil products. The country's only refinery (Lendava) ceased its activity in October 2000

Finland imports all the oil consumed domestically. It has two refineries.

Spain imports natural gas but has experimented in the past 10 years an spectacular growth in the natural gas industry. There are about 50 companies in Spain in charge of natural gas transport, distribution, and marketing

Italy's natural gas imports supplied 84 percent of the country's domestic consumption

In Bulgaria, natural gas represents 22% of its non renewable energy

Slovenia imports natural gas. Its geographical situation enables the country to have a gas network connected to the most important international networks, coming from Russia and since 1992 from Algeria

Finland also imports natural gas.

Spain has 8 nuclear reactors. Nuclear Energy generates a fifth of Spain’s electricity.

10% of Italy’s electricity is from nuclear power – all imported. Italy is the only G8 country without its own nuclear power plants, having closed its last reactors in 1990.

8% of Bulgaria’s energy comes from nuclear power plants

Slovenia has one nuclear power plant and provides more than one-quarter of Slovenia's electrical power

Finland has four nuclear reactors in two power plants and a fifth nuclear reactor is currently under construction.

Spain has recently become the leader in production of wind power in Europe and is the fourth biggest wind producer in the world. It covers 16 % of Spains energy demand.

Italy ranked as the world’s sixth largest producer of wind power.

In Bulgaria wind energy represents 4% .It is used to produce electricity

There is currently little use of wind energy in Slovenia. most of the potential sites are situated in ecologically sensitive mountain regions which are under consideration for national parks

In Finland only 0,2 % of electricity consumption come from wind power. In 11 years time the prediction is of 20-30% of it’s energy.

Spain’s hydropower depends on the changes of climate and rainfall so it is everchanging. It depends on the level of water in its reservoirs.

Hydroelectricity in Italy is exploited to about 90%.

Due to the limited hydro-potential of the country (excluding the Danube), the importance of hydro power is not so big in Bulgaria

Hydropower supplies about one-third of Slovenia's electricity generating capacity

60% of Finland’s renewable energy comes from water

Spain is the fourth largest manufacturer in the world of solar power technology. It is the most advanced country in the development of solar energy in Europe. It covers 2.7% of the electricity demand

Solar energy in Italy represents as much as two percent of the country’s energy capacity.

In Bulgaria solar energy represents 1%. It is used in the most of the hotels. They have solar panels.

Slovenia has good conditions for both solar thermal and photovoltaic energy use.

Finland does not use solar thermal energy.

Spain has a potential for bio-energy because it has a lot of forestry and agricultural residues that can be used for biomass.

3,5 % of Italy’s energy comes from biomass

In Bulgaria people make biodiesel from a plant called rapitza and even from wood.

Half of Slovenia is covered with forests and wooded areas. Wood is an important fuel for space heating, particularly in the residential sector. The highest potential for development is given in the areas of forest biomass. Biogas has an even higher potential. Currently, 6 mostly agricultural biogas plants are in operation

Biomass is the most important renewable energy source in Finland, with its use accounting for about 20% of primary energy consumption.

Spain does not used geothermal energy.

0,8% of Italy’s energy is geothermal energy.

Bulgaria is very rich in geothermal springs. They represent 5%.

Geothermal energy is currently not used for electricity production in Slovenia.

The use of geothermal energy in Finland is restricted to the utilization of ground heat with heat pumps.
