Despite the European Union’s push for cleaner energy, Luxembourg continues to lag behind in renewable electricity consumption, as revealed by the latest Eurostat figures for 2025. The data shows that renewable sources constituted just 20.2% of Luxembourg’s gross final energy consumption, positioning the country among the EU’s lower performers. In terms of electricity, only a modest 23.3% of Luxembourg’s consumption stemmed from renewables, surpassing only Czechia and Malta.
These figures stand in stark contrast to the overall trend across the European Union, where renewable energy represented 26.2% of gross final energy consumption in 2025, significantly up from 9.6% in 2004. The EU has set an ambitious target to elevate this share to 42.5% by 2030, underscoring the bloc’s commitment to transition towards sustainable energy solutions.
Leading the charge in renewable energy consumption within the EU, Sweden reported an impressive 65.4% of its overall energy consumption coming from renewable sources. This achievement places Sweden at the forefront, followed closely by Finland and Denmark, both of which have also made substantial progress in integrating renewables into their energy mix.
Austria, meanwhile, has set the benchmark for renewable electricity consumption, with more than 90% of its electricity being generated from renewable sources. This remarkable feat highlights Austria’s dedication to harnessing sustainable energy and serves as an exemplar for other EU nations striving to enhance their renewable energy usage.
