According to a report by think tanks Ember and Agora Energiewende, renewables such as wind and solar accounted for 38% of electricity generation in the EU's 27 member states, and fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas accounted for 37%
in 2020.
With new projects coming online and coal power phased out, renewables overtook fossil fuels as the EU's main source of electricity for the first time in 2020
.
Denmark has the highest share of wind and solar power, meeting 61%
of its electricity needs by 2020.
Ireland reached 35% and Germany 33%.
The countries with the lowest share of renewable energy (less than 5%) are Slovakia and the Czech Republic
.
Residential and business restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of the novel coronavirus have reduced total electricity demand in the EU by 4%, but the impact
is being felt more strongly by fossil fuel producers, the report showed.
Specifically, coal-fired power generation fell by 20% in 2020 and halved
since 2015.
"Coal production has declined in almost every country, and ongoing coal collapses are in place
long before Covid-19.
"
Many European countries are phasing out polluting coal-fired power plants to meet emissions reduction targets, but low electricity prices due to pandemic lockdowns have also made some unprofitable compared to cheap renewable energy generation
.
Dave Jones, senior power analyst at Ember, said: "Renewables will continue to grow as Europe continues to install more installed capacity
.
The jury is still out on whether fossil fuels will rebound, and if it does, it is not expected to be significant
.
”
According to a report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, renewable energy investment in Europe reached $81.
8 billion in 2020, an increase of 52%, the highest level since 2012, and the jump in offshore wind power is particularly pronounced
