Gross electricity production by fuel

Note: Data shown are for gross electricity production and include electricity production from both public plants and auto-producers. Renewables include electricity produced from hydro (excluding pumping), biomass, municipal waste, geothermal, wind and solar photovoltaics. The share of renewables presented in the chart is for production and hence it differs from the share of renewables in consumption (renewable energy consumption targets are set in the Renewable Energy Directive 2001/77/EC). ‘Other fuels’ includes electricity produced from power plants not accounted for elsewhere, such as those fuelled by certain types of industrial wastes. It also includes the electricity generated as a result of pumping in hydro-power stations.
