Europe power supply: 2018 in review
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Using data from our Europe Energy Data Pack, these slides review the development of power supply in Europe’s largest electricity markets – Germany, France, Italy, Iberia (Spain & Portugal) and the UK – comparing volumes and flows from 2017 & 2018. An end to the drought conditions which defined 2017 led to a 28% increase in hydro generation, squeezing out supply from both gas (-9%) and coal (-10%). The combined share of wind and solar increased marginally to 17%, lifting it above coal for the first time, whilst plant availability boosted nuclear generation by 1%. Overall demand across the markets remained relatively unchanged, down <1%.>
