Popis: Currently, one of the most discussed topics is the development of alternative energy sources. The assumption is that the trend in the use of alternative energy sources will continue and will increase every year. The aim of the book chapter is to evaluate the development trend in the use of renewable energy sources in selected countries. The book chapter describes the current situation in the use of renewable energy sources in the world, as well as in the selected countries. We decided to describe and analyze in more detail the use of renewable energy sources such as the wind, solar, water and geothermal energy in countries within Europe such as Italy, Germany and Austria. At the end, there is a comparison of selected indicators with reference to reserves in their use. The results show the share of renewable energy sources has increased; however, it is still necessary to meet the targets in the area of reducing emissions and to increase the production of electricity from renewable energy sources. The results can be used to meet new challenges for the functioning of the energy systems of the European Union, so that European Union could become a world leader in renewable energy sources.
