Recent data from Eurostat highlights Luxembourg’s position among the lowest-ranking countries in the European Union for renewable electricity consumption in 2025. Despite the EU’s overall progress in increasing renewable energy reliance, Luxembourg’s figures remain notably low. The country recorded a renewable energy share of only 20.2% in its gross final energy consumption. When it comes to electricity specifically, just 23.3% of Luxembourg’s consumption was derived from renewable sources, surpassing only Czechia and Malta within the EU.
In a broader context, the European Union saw its renewable energy share rise to 26.2% of gross final energy consumption by 2025, marking a significant increase from 9.6% in 2004. This growth reflects the bloc’s ongoing commitment to transitioning towards cleaner energy, with an ambitious target set to boost renewable energy’s share to 42.5% by the year 2030.
Sweden emerged as the leader in the EU in terms of renewable energy consumption, with 65.4% of its overall energy needs met through renewable sources. Following closely were Finland and Denmark, which also demonstrated strong commitments to renewable energy integration into their national energy grids.
Meanwhile, Austria was recognized for its outstanding performance in renewable electricity consumption, achieving a remarkable milestone where more than 90% of its electricity was generated from renewable sources. This achievement underscores Austria’s dedication to sustainable energy solutions and sets a benchmark for other EU nations aiming to enhance their renewable energy footprint.
