Europe: EU renewable electricity share drops in early 2025 despite solar surge

In the first quarter of 2025, 42.5 percent of net electricity generated in the European Union came from renewable energy sources. Compared with the first quarter of 2024, this represents a decrease of 4.3 percentage points, down from 46.8 percent. Although electricity generation from solar increased significantly from 40.9 terawatt-hours in the first quarter of 2024 to 55 terawatt-hours in the same period of 2025, this growth was not enough to offset the decline in hydro and wind production, which fell from 260.5 to 218.5 terawatt-hours.

Among EU member states, Denmark had the highest share of renewables in net electricity generation during the first quarter of 2025, with 88.5 percent. It was followed by Portugal with 86.6 percent and Croatia with 77.3 percent. On the other hand, the lowest shares were observed in Czechia at 13.4 percent, Malta at 14.4 percent, and Slovakia at 15.1 percent.

In 19 EU countries, the share of renewable energy sources in net electricity generation declined in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This was mainly due to the drop in hydro and wind production. The largest decreases were recorded in Greece with a drop of 12.4 percentage points, Lithuania with 12.0 points, and Slovakia with 10.6 points.

In the first quarter of 2025, most of the electricity generated from renewable sources came from wind, accounting for 42.5 percent, followed by hydro with 29.2 percent, and solar with 18.1 percent. Combustible renewable fuels contributed 9.8 percent, while geothermal energy made up 0.5 percent.
