Renewable energy mix in the European Union 2013-2023 Published by Lucía Fernández, Mar 24, 2025 Since 2017, wind power stands as the main renewable source in the European Union's electricity mix. In 2023, electricity from wind power accounted for over 39 percent of the EU's renewable ...
BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union countries and negotiators from the EU’s parliament reached a provisional deal Thursday to raise the share of renewables in the bloc’s energy mix, another step to accelerate its green transition. Article content Article content The European Council, which represent...
Thus, recent proposals for amending the Recast Renewable Energy Directive and the electricity market design brought forward in the context of the Fit for 55 package and responding to the energy crisis are beyond its scope (EC, 2022b; EC, 2023). In addition to the trend of reinforcing ...
The renewable energy directive (RED) Sustainable bioenergy currently accounts for 12% of the total EU energy mix, and this share is to be increased (European Commission, 2021a). In 2017, biomass from forests accounted for 69% of the total biomass used for energy production (Bioenergy Europe,...
Are building materials with a lower carbon footprint being sourced for new buildings and retrofits? What is the current energy mix used for the building and can it be switched to renewables? A push towards electrification, driven by renewable energy and green infrastructure ...
The transition may also confer broader societal advantages—increased energy autonomy, for one, due to lower energy consumption (in particular, natural gas from the switch to heat pumps and improved insulation) and a higher share of renewable solar PV in the energy mix. McKinsey analysis suggests...
Increasing the energy efficiency in high energy demand sectors such as industry with a high reliance on coal, oil and natural gas is considered a pivotal s
The European Commission has asked EU countries to keep curbing their gas use but softened the policy to be entirely voluntary, in a sign of optimism that the worst of Europe's energy crisis is over. European Union countries set a voluntary target in 2022 to cut their gas consumption 15%...
The situation looks particularly grim for thermal power plants, which are fired by coal or gas and are a key element in Ukraine’s energy mix to meet demand during peak consumption periods, the experts say. Although the situation in the power system has been temporarily stabilized it is imposs...
