Record falls in fossil fuels and record levels of renewables - Sarah Brown from think tank Ember joins the Watt Matters team to discuss Europe’s latest electricity stats


The EU’s electricity transition is in full swing Ember’s European Electricity Review 2024 concludes. The report celebrates new records, including a record fall in both fossil generation and CO2 emissions.


Renewables are on the up. Ember’s 2022 review found wind and solar generated a fifth of EU electricity. In 2023, they generated 44% and wind generation overtook gas for the first time.


To discuss the findings and Europe’s progress in its energy transition, co-author of the report and Europe Programme Director at Ember, Sarah Brown, joins the Watt Matters team.
