Renewable energy on the rise: 37% of EU's electricity - Products Eurostat News - Eurostat

In 2020, renewable energy sources made up 37% of gross electricity consumption in the EU, up from 34% in 2019. Wind and hydropower accounted for over two-thirds of the total electricity generated from renewable sources (36% and 33%, respectively). The remaining one-third of electricity came from solar power (14%), solid biofuels (8%) and other renewable sources (8%). Solar power is the fastest-growing source: in 2008, it only accounted for 1% of the electricity consumed in the EU. Source dataset: nrg_ind_ren Among the EU Member States, more than 70% of electricity consumed in 2020 was generated from renewable sources in Austria (78%) and Sweden (75%). The generation of electricity from renewable sources was also high and accounted for more than half of the electricity consumed in Denmark (65%), Portugal (58%), Croatia and Latvia (both 53%). Source dataset: nrg_ind_ren At the other end of the scale, the share of electricity from renewable sources was 15% or less in Malta (10%), Hungary and Cyprus (both 12%), Luxembourg (14%) and Czechia (15%). For more information: The EFTA countries Norway and Iceland reached a share higher than 100%, because they produced more electricity from renewables than their total electricity consumption.
