A recent report has revealed which European countries are leading the way in renewable energy usage. According to the report, the top five countries with the highest percentage of renewable energy in their total energy consumption are Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Austria.
Iceland tops the list, with almost 100% of its energy coming from renewable sources such as geothermal and hydropower. Norway is not far behind, with around 98% of its electricity coming from renewable sources, mostly hydropower. Sweden, Finland, and Austria follow closely, with around 54%, 43%, and 33% respectively.
The report also highlights some of the challenges facing other European countries in their transition to renewable energy. For example, some countries still rely heavily on coal and other fossil fuels, while others face geographical or technical constraints in harnessing renewable sources such as wind and solar power.
Despite these challenges, the report suggests that the shift towards renewable energy is gaining momentum across Europe, driven by a combination of policy support, technological innovation, and public demand for cleaner energy. It remains to be seen which countries will emerge as leaders in this transition, but the examples set by Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Austria provide a valuable roadmap for others to follow.
