    86 Percent of New Power in Europe From Renewable Sources in 2016

    Renewable energy sources made up nearly nine-tenths of new power added to Europe’s electricity grids last year, in a sign of the continent’s rapid shift away from fossil fuels.

    Of the 24.5GW of new capacity built across the EU in 2016, 21.1GW — or 86% — was from wind, solar, biomass and hydro, eclipsing the previous high-water mark of 79% in 2014.

    Almost 90% of new power in Europe from renewable sources in 2016

    Wind energy overtakes coal as the EU’s second largest form of power capacity but concerns remain over politicians’ enthusiasm for renewables
