Europe’s power producers set a new record by generating 268.5 TWh of clean electricity in January 2024, marking the second consecutive month of record-high clean generation.
- Clean power now constitutes 59.5% of total electricity generation in Europe, up from 56% in 2023.
- Fossil fuel generation declined to 186 TWh, the lowest for January since 2015.
- Solar output, up 33%, played a key role, reflecting expanded capacity.
Europe’s commitment to clean energy, evident in renewable capacity growth, positions the region well for further clean power milestones while constituting a challenge to ensure safety and reliability for power grids in the coming years.
