Renewables Supply Nearly Half Of Europe's Electricity

MDR Aktuell Brussels 14d12d Impact 5

Scientists report that renewable energy sources provided almost half of Europe's electricity last year. The growth in renewables is noted as a positive development amidst environmental concerns. The findings are intended to assist in making political decisions regarding energy policy. The report also states that Europe is warming faster than other continents due to climate change. Scientists noted that nature faces increasing stress due to shrinking habitats, rising temperatures, and changing precipitation patterns. Dujan Krenek from the European Union's Directorate-General for Climate Policy provided context on the growing supply of renewable energy. The findings are part of a comprehensive study involving approximately 100 contributors. The report aims to provide actionable insights to support political decision-making.

The findings are part of a comprehensive study involving approximately 100 contributors. The report aims to provide actionable insights to support political decision-making. Renewable energy sources supplied 46.4% of Europe's electricity over the last three years. Wind and solar power contributed over 30% of the total supply. Fossil fuel electricity accounted for 27.5% of the electricity generated. The energy transition in Mediterranean regions including Italy, Spain, and Portugal is noted as a bright spot.
