Summary european landscape

In 2022, electricity demand fell by 3.7 % in the ENTSO-E countries as a whole with respect to the previous year, coinciding with a period of geopolitical instability in Europe marked by the war in Ukraine.

Europe has made a firm commitment to energy from renewable sources, with the aim of increasing energy independence and achieving long-term decarbonisation of the economy, leading to a share of renewable energy in total electricity generation in all ENTSO-E countries reaching 39.5 % of the energy produced (38.7 % in 2021). The Spanish electricity system stands out for being the second European country with the highest installed renewable power capacity and occupies the same position for wind and solar generation.
