EU clean energy output declined, and fossil fuels showed durability

⑴ In the first half of 2025, EU utilities increased the output of natural gas and coal power plants, resulting in increased emissions in the power sector and reversed the recent momentum of energy transformation. ⑵In the previous two years, the EU's fossil fuel usage dropped sharply, making Europe a global leader in reducing its dependence on polluted fuels in electricity production. ⑶ However, EU utilities had to make up for it by significantly increasing fossil fuel generation between January and June, as output from wind farms and hydro dams fell year-on-year. ⑷ Data shows that EU utilities generated electricity from fossil fuels in the first half of 2025 increased by 13% www.xmhouses.compared with the same period in 2024, the largest annual increase in fossil fuel production in the period since 2017. ⑸ Natural gas power generation increased by 19%, reaching the highest level in three years; coal power generation increased by 2%, reaching the highest level in two years. ⑹ Wind farm output fell 9% year-on-year, hydropower dam power output fell 15% year-on-year, while solar power generation increased by 21%, setting a new high. ⑺生The decline in wind speed and reduced snowfall caused by climate change have put wind and hydropower generation in challenges, and although solar power generation has increased, it is still not enough to fill the gap. ⑻ This shows that despite the EU's ambition to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels for a long time, natural gas and coal will remain an important part of EU utilities for some time to www.xmhouses.come.

In addition, strong consumer demand also provides strong support for oil prices, and demand for road and air travel is still strong. At the same time, U.S. tariff policies have prompted importers to purchase crude oil in advance to avoid possible restrictions in the future, which also provides additional support for oil prices.
