Energy plays a crucial role in our daily lives, from lighting and heating our homes to powering industry and transport. But where does it come from and what types of energy do we use in the EU? How are we advancing towards adopting renewable energy sources?

The 2025 edition of Shedding light on energy in Europe addresses these questions and many more. The interactive publication, which includes dynamic visualisations and short texts, is divided into 3 main sections: energy sources, energy consumption, and energy and environment.

The publication consolidates key energy indicators released for 2023, along with the latest electricity and gas prices for the first half of 2024 and the greenhouse gas emission indicators for 2022.
