Germany recorded the highest fossil energy gross available in 2023, with a notable year-on-year decline of 2.37%. Among the major consumers, the United Kingdom and France also observed decreases in their energy availability, at 2.12% and 0.35%, respectively. Italy and Spain saw minor reductions, with Poland showing some resilience against the downtrend. While most countries in Eastern Europe experienced decreases, Austria and Luxembourg showed slight increases. Estonia and Finland experienced large declines, marking a broad trend of decreasing reliance on fossil energies across Europe.
Future trends to watch include an expected continuation of the gradual decline in fossil energy reliance as European countries steadily transition towards more sustainable energy sources. Observers should keep an eye on the significant energy policy shifts in key countries such as Germany and the UK, as well as the potential impact of geopolitical events affecting energy supplies, particularly in eastern Europe and Ukraine.
