In 2023, Norway led Europe with a remarkable 113.69% share of renewable energy sources in electricity, indicating a surplus due to its extensive hydropower resources. Iceland and Albania followed closely with shares of 98.71% and 97.24%, respectively, owing to their utilization of geothermal and hydroelectric power. Countries like Austria (78.25%) and Sweden (77.37%) also showcased strong performances driven by a mix of hydro, wind, and bioenergy.
Portugal (60.95%) and Denmark (59.1%) saw significant contributions from wind and solar power. Other notable performers included Croatia (55.51%) and Latvia (51.99%). Conversely, Eastern European countries like Hungary (14.93%), Czech Republic (14.64%), and Kosovo (6.45%) lagged, reflecting slower integration of renewable sources.
Future trends to watch include increased investments in offshore wind farms in the North Sea, expanded solar capacity in Southern Europe, and the integration of energy storage solutions to enhance grid stability. Additionally, policy shifts favoring green energy and technological advancements are expected to accelerate renewable adoption across Europe.
