Renewables overtook fossil fuels in EU power generation in the first half of 2024
This is the first time this milestone is achieved at a European level.
Renewables continue to displace fossil fuels in the EU, with 30% of the power generated in the first half of 2024 coming from wind and solar energy, while 27% came from fossil fuels.
This is the first time renewables overtake fossil fuels in the power mix at a European level – though individual countries such as Portugal achieved this milestone last year.
