The latest data from Eurostat, available until December 2024, shows a robust trend toward renewables. In fact, energy generation from sources such as \u00a0wind\u00a0, \u00a0solar\u00a0, \u00a0hydroelectric\u00a0, \u00a0geothermal\u00a0, and \u00a0biofuels\u00a0 now exceeds \u00a099%\u00a0 in some countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As of December 2024, the European Union derived nearly \u00a042%\u00a0 of its net electricity from renewable sources, with wind and hydroelectric power being critical components of this transition. Interestingly, despite advancements in panel and turbine technology, countries leading in renewables often rely heavily on hydroelectric power.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Notably, \u00a0Albania\u00a0 tops the list, generating over \u00a099%\u00a0 of its electricity from renewables, closely followed by \u00a0Norway\u00a0. In \u00a0Denmark\u00a0, which ranks third, wind energy plays the leading role in electricity generation.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\nOn the other hand, some countries like the \u00a0Czech Republic\u00a0, \u00a0Moldova\u00a0, and \u00a0Malta\u00a0 continue to struggle with a heavy reliance on fossil fuels. These nations have the \u00a0lowest proportions\u00a0 of renewable energy in their electricity generation. At the bottom of this list is \u00a0Kosovo\u00a0, where only \u00a08.8%\u00a0 of its energy is derived from renewables.<\/p>\n

\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\nIn terms of renewable sources, the contributions vary by country. In \u00a0Spain\u00a0, wind energy accounted for \u00a039.1%\u00a0 of its renewable production in 2024; \u00a0hydroelectric\u00a0 energy followed at \u00a029.9%\u00a0, and \u00a0solar power\u00a0 contributed \u00a022.4%\u00a0. Biofuels and geothermal energy made only marginal contributions of \u00a08.1%\u00a0 and \u00a00.5%\u00a0, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n Situation in 2024<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Globally, it is a positive trend; over \u00a040%\u00a0 of net energy produced by the EU in 2024 came from renewables. Eurostat data indicates that \u00a047.3%\u00a0 of electric production translates to \u00a01.31 million GW\/h\u00a0, reflecting a \u00a07.7%\u00a0 increase compared to 2023.<\/p>\n

\n Evolution of energy production during the last 35 years<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
A report shows that fossil fuel use fell by \u00a07.2%\u00a0 compared to the prior year, almost mirrored by the growth in renewables. Nuclear energy, despite facing challenges, grew by \u00a04.8%\u00a0.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to 2026, a Eurobarometer survey conducted in June 2025 reveals robust support among EU citizens for the adoption of renewables. Moving forward, the challenge will be determining if this deployment aligns with other ambitious energy needs, such as those required for expanding \u00a0data centers\u00a0.<\/p>\n
