Electricity production shares by source family across the EU, 2024.
EU electricity generation mix in 2024 compares source-family shares across the European Union. Rows use three source-family categories measured as shares of total EU electricity production. Renewable energy ranked first at 48 percent, while fossil fuels ranked second at 28 percent. Nuclear power accounted for 23 percent, and the source shares are rounded.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Renewable energy | 48% | 2024 |
| 2 | Fossil fuels | 28% | 2024 |
| 3 | Nuclear power | 23% | 2024 |
