Eurostat

These are data collected via the annual electricity and heat questionnaire and the annual renewables questionnaire, according to Annex B of the Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 on energy statistics. The variables are:Total capacity (MWe)Capacity by source of electricity production (MWe)Capacity by type of generation in power plants using combustible fuels (MWe)Capacity by type of firing and by type of fuel used in power plants using combustible fuels (MWe) All reported capacities are broken down by type of supplier (main activity producer or auto-producer) in nrg_inf_epc. For plants based on combustion of fuels the capacity is further divided by type of technology of the generating plant (steam, internal combustion….) in nrg_inf_epct, by type of firing and by type of fuels.  The dataset nrg_inf_epcrw offers more detailed renewable fuels. Total capacity calculated from the aggregation of individual categories coming from each of the datasets could yield slightly different values. indeed, the data come from different sources (different questionnaires) and different use of decimal places and rounding could result in these differences.

Municipal waste is mainly produced by households, similar wastes from sources such as commerce, offices and public institutions are included. The amount of municipal waste generated consists of waste collected by or on behalf of municipal authorities and disposed of through the waste management system. The amount of municipal waste treatment is reported for the treatment operations incineration (with and without energy recovery), recycling, composting and landfilling. Data are available in thousand tonnes and kilograms per person. Wastes from agriculture and from industries are not included. For further detail on the definition please refer to section 3.4. The Sustainable Development Indicator on municipal waste is expressed in kilograms per person.

20.1. Source data

Yearly data on freshwater resources, water abstraction and use, wastewater treatment (connection rates of resident population to wastewater treatment and treatment capacities of wastewater treatment plants), sewage sludge production and disposal, generation and discharge of wastewater collected biennially by means of the OECD/Eurostat Joint Questionnaire - Inland Waters. Data aggregation: national territories.
