In 2025, according to preliminary data, the supply of natural gas and renewable energy in the EU<\/a> grew compared with 2024, while the supply of coal and petroleum products decreased.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s natural gas supply grew for the second straight year, after a sharp drop in 2023. In 2025, it increased by 2.3% compared with 2024, amounting to around 13.1 million terajoules<\/a> (TJ).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The supply of renewable energies grew by 1.4% compared with 2024, totalling 11.5 million TJ, despite a substantial drop in hydro power, which was the main reason for the slight decrease observed in electricity production from renewables. Nuclear energy supply also increased, but more modestly, by 0.2%, to 650 648 Gigawatt-hour<\/a> (GWh).<\/p>\n

In contrast, the supply of coal continued to decrease. Brown coal supply decreased by 7.7% to 184 741 thousand tonnes, while hard coal supply dropped by 3.2% to 107 072 thousand tonnes. Both figures are the lowest recorded since the data series began in 1990.<\/p>\n

In terms of petroleum products<\/a>, the supply totalled 448 656 thousand tonnes, indicating a 2.8% drop compared with 2023.<\/p>\n

This information comes from preliminary data on energy production and imports<\/a>\u00a0published by Eurostat today. The article presents a handful of findings from the more detailed Statistics Explained article on energy production and imports<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Renewables remain leading source of electricity\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2025, renewable energy<\/a> continued to be the main source of electricity in the EU, accounting for 47.2% of all electricity production. Renewables generated 1.33 million GWh, marking a small decrease of 0.5% compared with 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conversely, electricity generated from fossil fuels<\/a> increased by 3.2% compared with the previous year, contributing 0.83 million GWh, or 29.6% of the total electricity production.<\/p>\n

Nuclear plants produced 0.65 million GWh or 23.2% of the EU electricity production, reflecting a 0.2% increase in production compared with 2024.<\/p>\n
