Renewable energy production beat fossil fuels in Europe It’s now Europe’s main source of electricity Share this story Photo by Florian Gaertner / Photothek via Getty Images Renewable energy became the biggest source of electricity in the European Union in 2020, beating fossil fuels for the first time. Germany and Spain also hit that milestone individually last year so did the UK, which officially left the EU in January 2020.

Renewables overtake gas and coal in EU electricity generation In 2020, wind, solar, hydropower and biomass supplied 38 percent of the EU’s electricity, according to an analysis by Ember and Agora Energiewende. Germany has the third highest share of renewables in the European Union. Europe recorded its greenest electricity year ever in 2020. For the first time, more electricity was generated from renewables than from fossil fuels. Renewables accounted for 38 percent of Europe’s electricity mix in 2020, compared with only 37 percent for fossil fuels, according to a joint analysis by Agora Energiewende and the British think tank Ember. The change was driven by the rapid growth of wind and solar power, which has almost doubled since 2015. By 2020, one-fifth of EU electricity came from wind and solar power plants. The highest shares were recorded in Denmark (61 percent), Ireland (35 percent), Germany (33 percent) and Spain (29 percent).
