Development of renewable energy shares for electricity, heat and transport

The diagram shows the development of the shares of renewable energies for electricity, heat and transport. While electricity shares grew steadily, the development of heat and transport shares stagnated for several years. The share of renewables in electricity fell significantly in 2021 (to 41.7 percent), but since then rose considerably to 54.1 percent in 2024. The share of renewables in the heat sector reaches 17.8 percent in 2024 and in the transport sector 7.3 percent.
