Figure 15 visualises changes in the EU27 electricity generation in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023. Between 2023 and 2024, fossil fuel generation dropped by 18% (-31 TWh), supported by coal, lignite, gas, and oil generation falling by 7 TWh (-26%), 5 TWh (-13%), 19 TWh (-24%), and 0.3 TWh (-10%) respectively. Hydro generation registered the biggest absolute increase (+21%, equivalent to +18 TWh) compared to Q2 2023. Wind offshore generation regis- tered the biggest relative increase (+38%, equivalent to +4 TWh).

Why did I do all of this work today to post data on energy generation and consumption in the EU? Because it matters, IMHO. The media with its clickbait obsession could give you a very wrong impression about the energy market. We are progressing towards more renewables and continuously reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. Electricity generation with coal, lignite, gas, and oil generation falling
by 7 TWh (-26%), 5 TWh (-13%), 19 TWh (-24%), and 0.3 TWh (-10%) is A Good Thing! 4/4
