Net electricity production from renewables

Among EU countries, Denmark had the highest share of renewables in its net electricity generation with 88.4%, coming mostly from wind, followed by Portugal (87.5%, mostly wind and hydro) and Croatia (73.7%, mostly hydro). At the EU level, Wind and hydro power accounted for more than two-thirds of the total electricity generated from renewable sources (39.1% and 29.9% respectively). The remaining one-third of electricity came from solar (22.4%). Within the region, apart from Croatia, only Romania has a share of renewables and biofuels in net electricity generation above the EU average (50% vs.47% respectively). All other countries have the share below the EU average and most of them close to 30%. Czechia has the lowest share of renewables in net electricity generation not only in the region but in the whole EU. It should be noted, however, that Czechia and Slovakia have relatively highs share of nuclear power in net electricity generation. Czechia used more than 40% of nuclear power, like Hungary. Slovakia uses even more, over 60 percent, that is on pair with France.
