According to the think tank Ember wind and solar produced more electricity in the European Union than fossil fuels in May 2023, for the first full month on record. Almost a third of the EU’s electricity in this month was generated from wind and solar (31%, 59 TWh), while fossil fuels generated a record low of 27% (53 TWh).
The new milestone was driven by solar growth, strong wind performance and low electricity demand. Solar generated a record 14% of EU electricity in May 2023, hitting an all-time high of 27 TWh, which exceeds the monthly solar records set in July 2022. For the first time, EU solar generation overtook coal generation, with coal generating just 10% of EU electricity in May 2023. Wind power grew year-on-year to generate 17% of EU electricity in this month (32 TWh).
