Every time we generate electricity by burning fossil fuels, we create air pollution and emit greenhouse gases - which are responsible for climate change and global warming. On the other hand, renewable energy sources represent an environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and accessible power source available to everyone.
According to Eurostat data, last year 47.4% of net electricity production in the European Union came from renewable sources - an increase of 2.6 percentage points compared to 2023. At the top of the list is Denmark with a share of 88.8%, where wind power plays a key role, followed by Portugal with 87.4%, thanks to a combination of wind and hydropower.
Croatia, with a 73.8 % share of renewable sources in net electricity production, ranks high in third place. At present, the bulk of that share is hydro-power, which means there is ample room for growth in the wind and solar segments. What’s more, Croatia has significant potential for further development of renewables - especially solar energy, a resource ideally suited to the country’s climate.
With the introduction of battery systems - the next generation of household energy management - that potential can be better harnessed and turned into genuine energy independence.
