>The figures are spectacular. In 2023, wind and solar accounted for 27.7 per cent of Belgium’s electricity production, according to calculations by the specialised website [Energy-charts.info](https://Energy-charts.info). Compared to the 13.4 per cent from 2019 and the 19.5 per cent from 2022, this is an extraordinary increase.
​
>Overall, renewable energy (solar, wind, biomass, waste) made up more than 30 per cent of the energy mix last year. One record after another was broken. In absolute terms, at 23,460 gigawatt hours (GWh), renewable energy even surpassed electricity from fossil sources for the first time, which accounted for 22,150 GWh (for comparison, 1 GWh equals 1 million kWh).
Hopefully we keep it going at this rate, maybe even accelerate.
