Eurostat has now released electricity data from 2023, and it shows that 44.7% of EU electricity production came from renewable energy sources last year!* Fossil gas production was down, a lot. Coal production was down even more. Even production from oil and petroleum products was down. Meanwhile, of course, renewable energy production was up! Clearly, in Europe, renewable energy is now winning.
And this is a crossover year, because in 2022, electricity production from fossil fuels was higher than electricity production from renewable energy sources . Let’s get to some graphs and more actual stats now — just note the difference between supply and production with these.Hard coal supply down by 20.4%, to 130,437 million tonnesOil/petroleum electricity supply down 1.
Nuclear remained relatively stable, just rising slightly year over year, but this is after a pretty big drop from 2021 to 2022 and earlier from 2019 to 2020. With how much fossil fuel electricity production dropped last year, you could even envision that line dropping further and further in the next couple of years and have a crossover year with nuclear. Maybe. We’ll see.
I know we just got the 2023 data, but it was so positive that I’m already excited to see the 2024 data!CleanTechnica as its director, chief editor, and CEO.
