Abstract:
The current development strategies are oriented towards the development of the green economy, where
the energy sector plays an important role. In this sense, including at the regional level, development strategies
are being built that primarily support the growth of the renewable energy sector. Thus, strengthening the
economic environment of regions in society should lead directly to economic growth. This paper focuses on
regional development strategies and renewable energy consumption in the European countries. Firstly, the
paper will present sustainability of regional development strategies and renewable energy consumption from the
perspective of the literature. The second objective is to analyse the environment of the renewable energy sector
of European countries at the regional level with the help of SWOT methodology. The analysis reveals a maturity
of renewable energy sector in Sweden based on national and regional development strategies and a transition
process of most of the European Union countries from the conventional energy to the renewable energy.
