Nel 2024, per la prima volta in assoluto nell’UE, l’energia solare ha superato il carbone, mentre la produzione di energia eolica+solare ha superato la produzione di gas naturale+carbone

That’s nice, but I would have preferred they focus their effort on gas, not coal. Coal consumption in Europe won’t have that much effect on the global co2 levels. Gas dependance on the other hand will have a big effect on European economy
other facts
* electricity generation increased by 1.1% as recovery from the energy crisis started
* wind and solar had a combined share of 28.5% , just shy of overtaking all fossil fuels combined (28.9%)
* hydro had a record year
* nuclear output increased by 4.7% due to reactors coming back online in France and Finland, outweighing the small decline in German nuclear output
* the growth could have been higher, but it was a slow year for wind power due to low speeds and low additions; coming years will however see higher additions due to recent auctions
* **In 2024, EU fossil generation declined by 75 TWh (-9%) compared to 2023, falling to its lowest level for more than forty years (793 TWh)**. While not as large as the record fossil collapse between 2022 and 2023, the fall happened despite a small rise in 12 power demand of 31 TWh (+1%) and an increase in net exports to non-EU countries (totalling +15 TWh, with notable increases of +11 TWh to the UK and +4 TWh to Ukraine) (page 12-13)
All the policy and talk from governments has finally translated into numbers that matter. But we cannot forget that a balance between all the sources is still needed.
Let’s gooo! I hope this trend continues!
I see Spain and Germany are the MVPs in adding more renewables. Spain’s climate must be optimal for solar.
Every gigawatt generated by non-imported fossil fuel is every cent staying in the EU and not going to Russia.
This is the good news I need right now.😁
so we essentialy cut in half our fossil fuel energy generation in 15 years ? that is some serious good news here
Poland, Germany and Czechia are definitely responsible for the majority of coal usage here.
Maybe the EU will really turn in the solarpunk utopia we always dreamed of.
More MOre MORe MORE!!!
With all the shit Russia did and I really hope they will bleed for it for decades, them being sanctioned into oblivion really helped the renewables in Europe. We just need to continue the trend and Hydro, Solar and Wind might be at 67% by 2030. How awesome that would be. Europe can and must sustain itself.
Im so proud
YES WE CAN
how much cheaper has it made electricity prices?
News like these make me feel real proud of being an EU citizen. Such amazing news!
