EU Renewable Energy Stats
March 18, 2016

By Paul Homewood



I looked at the EU’s progress in cutting GHG emissions the other day. Let’s now take a closer look at renewable energy stats.

All figures are from the BP Energy Review.



As far as wind power is concerned, the UK sits 7th on the list, with 3.8%.

As for solar, unsurprisingly it is the Mediterranean states leading the way.



Across the EU as a whole, including the seven smaller states not show above, solar/wind power accounted for 4.8% of Primary Energy Consumption in 2014. In the UK, this figure was 4.3%.

Bear this in mind when the renewables industry, greenies and others say we are not pulling our weight.
