- The share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption in the EU reached 26.2% in 2025, representing an increase of one percentage point (pp) year-on-year, but Belgium is lagging behind the rest of Europe.
- Eurostat announced its latest figures on Thursday, based on provisional data.
- Whilst the share of renewable energy in European consumption has been rising steadily since 2009, progress is currently too slow to meet European targets.
