The European power sector in 2020

Up-to-date analysis of the electricity transition

Preface

The power sector plays a leading role in the decarbonisation of Europe, so it is crucial to track the progress of the electricity transition as accurately and timely as possible.

For the fifth year in a row, Ember and Agora Energiewende have joined forces to provide a current snapshot of the European electricity sector transition. Key topics addressed in this report include renewables growth, conventional power generation, electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions.

We provide our best assessment of 2020 electricity consumption, generation and emissions intensities by country. This data is available for download to allow others to perform up-to-date analyses.
