Scope, Main Findings and Conclusions
 This document presents data and analysis related to the electricity production in the European
Union up to 2014 from the last data provided by ENTSO-E, EUROSTAT and BP.
 Provisional data give a total of electricity production in EU of 3,100 TWh in 2013 from EUROSTAT
and 3,013 TWh in 2014 from ENTSO-E (excluding Malta in this last case).
 Final electricity consumption was 2,778 TWh in 2013. Both production and final consumption are
now lower than their maximum that occurred before the 2008 economic crisis.
 According to the ENTSO provisional data for 2014, with 848 TWh renewables provided 28.1 % of
the 3,013 TWh production (of which 13 % and 455 TWh from non-hydro renewables) compared to
27.7 % from nuclear and 42.2 % from fossil fuels.
 The growth of electricity production from renewables (mainly from wind, bioenergy and now
solar PV and a consequence of the 2001 and the 2009 Directives on renewables) has allowed a
sharp decrease of electricity production from fossil fuels, even in the context of a decreasing
nuclear electricity production since 2004, which is now lower than renewables.
 The monthly combination of wind production (more than 235 TWh in 2014 and 7.8 % of total
according to ENTSO data) and the solar PV production (more than 95 TWh and 3% of total) results
in a total of more than 326 TWh and 10.8 % of total EU electricity production, with a profile well
adapted to the monthly EU-28 demand (see slides 17 and 18).
 EU-28 Renewable electricity production is still concentrated in a small number of Member States,
which gives the opportunity for a larger potential growth up to 2020 and to 2030.
 All renewables installed capacities are increasing, compared to a decrease for nuclear since 2003
and for fossil fuels from 2012, but fossil fuels have still the highest installed capacity. Recent
decreases in renewables net annual changes of capacity should be reversed in order to ensure (in
combination with energy efficiency and demand change management) a success for EU energy
security and climate change policies and in order to reach the 2020 and 2030 RE targets in EU.

Electricity production and
consumption in EU-28 up to
2014
5
Both EU-28 production and consumption of electricity are now decreasing due to the
economic crisis and to progress in energy efficiency and demand side management
6
According to the 2015 EUROSTAT data, the growth of electricity production from
renewables (mainly a consequence of the 2001 and the 2009 Directives on
renewables) has allowed a sharp decrease of electricity production from fossil fuels,
even in the context of a decreasing nuclear electricity production since 2004
7
Increases of power from wind, from bioenergy and now also from solar PV
are the main drivers of the growth of electricity from renewables in the EU
8
Renewables are now the second source of electricity in EU-28

Renewable electricity production in EU-28 is now higher than nuclear

Monthly electricity
production in 2014
11
Electricity demand (including T&D losses) is higher in winter in EU-28

.
13
RE and non-hydro renewables production profiles are well adapted to the
monthly demand profile in EU 28
14
Hard coal and lignite are still major electricity production sources in EU-28
15
Monthly non-hydro renewables production is stable along the year
16
Wind and solar (mainly PV) production are complementary along the year and
deliver a combined production well adapted to the monthly demand in EU
17
Wind delivered 72 % of the 326 TWh from [Wind + Solar] in 2014 (10.8 % of
the 2014 EU-28 electricity production (7.8 % from wind and 3 % from solar)

21
Half of the 2014 EU-28 nuclear production was from France
22
¾ of the 848 TWh of renewable electricity in 2014 was from 7 countries
23
More than ¾ of the 455 TWh of non-hydro renewables in 2014 was from 7
countries and Germany covered near 28 % with 127 TWh
24
¾ of the 393 TWh of 2014 hydropower was from 6 countries
25
Near ¾ of the 235 TWh of 2014 EU-28 wind power was from 6 countries, and
45 % from only Germany and Spain
26
More than ¾ of solar production (mainly PV) in 2014 was concentrated in Germany,
Italy and Spain. The total of more than 91 TWh is already higher than the total of 85
TWh in 2020 proposed for solar PV in the 28 NREAPs published in 2011
27
Renewables, fossils and
nuclear installed capacity in
EU-28 on 1990-2013
28
All renewables capacities are increasing, compared to a decrease for nuclear since
2003 and for fossil fuels from 2012, but fossil fuels have still the highest capacity
29
Higher net annual changes in installed capacities were from renewables since 2000
(except in 2006), with a maximum of + 34.7 GW in 2011, but then decreasing along
with recent and hopefully temporary solar decrease. Nuclear changes were null or
negative since 2000, except in 2002 and recent net changes for fossils are negative
30
In 2014, net changes in capacity were positive for wind, solar PV, biomass and hydro
compared to zero net change for nuclear and very negative changes for fossil fuels

Average annual equivalent
full load hours in EU-28 in
2013
32
Mean capacity factor of geothermal power is higher in the EU than for nuclear.
Increase of the RE share in electricity production has decreased both production and
capacity factors of conventional fossil fuels based power plants, a very positive and
encouraging result for energy security and climate policies in EU and Member States
