In a ‘monumental shift’, EU coal and gas collapse as wind and solar ascend

Baua Electric

What’s more, for the first time, wind power, which grew by 18%, surpassed gas, which only accounted for 17% of Europe’s electricity. Wind and solar power are now taking center stage. Solar covered 9% of the EU’s electricity needs. Together, they hit a new high, generating 27% of the EU’s electricity in 2023.

Wind energy capacity in Europe now exceeds total coal output

Green Car Reports

While homeowners are more familiar with photovoltaic solar panels, large-scale wind power is an increasingly important part of the growth in renewable energy. For the first time, the total installed capacity of wind energy in Europe now exceeds the total output of electric powerplants fueled with coal.
