Wind and solar power produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU for the first time last year, data published on Thursday showed, indicating the bloc’s continued shift towards low-carbon energy despite resistance from some governments.

Wind and solar generated 30% of the European Union’s electricity in 2025, just above the 29% supplied by fossil fuel power plants running on coal, gas and occasionally oil, according to data from energy think-tank Ember.
