Wind Energy Covered Nearly One-Fifth of EU Electricity Consumption Last Year, Slovakia Lags Behind

Wind energy accounted for nearly one-fifth of electricity consumption across the European Union last year, as new wind power installations continued to expand throughout the bloc. The European Union added new wind power capacity during the year, contributing to the renewable energy sector's growing role in the region's electricity mix. However, Slovakia remains significantly behind other EU member states in wind energy development, with the country generating relatively little electricity from wind power compared to the European average. The disparity highlights Slovakia's continued reliance on traditional energy sources while many of its European neighbors advance their renewable energy transitions.
