Wind, solar overtake EU fossil fuels in 1H24, Ember reports

-Fossil fuels account for 27% of total EU electricity generation in first half of 2024, compared to 33% last year

Wind, solar overtake EU fossil fuels in 1H24, Ember reports

Wind and solar energy reached a new high in the EU energy mix, accounting for 30% of the bloc's electricity generation and surpassed fossil fuels for the first time, according to a new report by London-based think tank Ember.

Fossil fuels accounted for just 27% of total EU electricity generation in the first half of 2024, compared to 33% over the same period last year, Ember said in a statement.

The report reveals an EU-wide transition, with 13 member countries, including Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Hungary, and the Netherlands, generating more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels in the first half of the year.

According to the report, the EU reduced coal use in power plants by 24% and gas use by 14% during the first half of the year from the first half of 2023.

Commenting on the report, Chris Rosslowe, a senior energy and climate data analyst at Ember said, the first half of the year highlights a diminishing role for fossil fuels in the power sector, and 'gains for renewables that are beyond temporary variations in conditions.'

'We are witnessing a historic shift and it is happening rapidly,' Rosslowe said.

'If Member States can keep up momentum on wind and solar deployment then freedom from fossil power reliance will truly start to come into view.' Rosslowe added.
