In 2024, solar power in the European Union achieved a historic milestone, accounting for 11.1% of total electricity generation (304 TWh), surpassing coal's share of 9.8% (269 TWh).
Solar and wind power together met 29% of the region's electricity needs, confirming the growing role of renewable sources. Meanwhile, gas provided 15.7% of total production, nuclear energy 23.7%, and hydropower 13.2%.
The total share of renewable energy sources in the EU's energy balance reached an impressive 47%, underscoring the region's drive to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to clean technologies.
The growth of solar power in European Union countries is driven by increased investment in renewables, the expansion of available infrastructure, and active decarbonisation policies. The shift towards a more sustainable energy system has become a crucial step in fulfilling climate commitments, including achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
The decline in coal's share, which until recently held leading positions in Europe's energy system, indicates a change in priorities. Coal power, traditionally associated with high emission levels, is gradually receding into the background, yielding to cleaner and more efficient alternatives.
This shift also has economic consequences: coal plants are being closed or converted to other fuels, while regions dependent on the coal industry require support programmes and worker retraining.
The European Union continues to actively develop green energy, focusing on solar and wind installations. These technologies not only help reduce emissions but also create new jobs, enhancing the competitiveness of the regional economy.
Thus, 2024 has become a landmark year for EU energy, confirming that sustainable development is not just a goal but a reality shaping the future of the European economy.
