Renewable electricity increased substantially in all three countries: Germany made the largest gain, Spain retained the highest share, and France remained lower. Comparing 2015–2025, the latest available ten-year span in Eurostat’s series: (ec.europa.eu)
- Germany: rose from 30.9% to 57.9%, a gain of 27.0 percentage points—nearly doubling.
- Spain: rose from 37.0% to 60.7%, up 23.7 percentage points. Its share was broadly flat during the first few years, then increased strongly after 2018.
- France: rose from 18.8% to 33.1%, up 14.3 percentage points, with faster progress in the later years.
Figures and changes are from the Eurostat series shown in the chart; changes are calculated from unrounded values. (ec.europa.eu)
Germany narrowed its gap with Spain from 6.1 to 2.8 percentage points, while both passed the 50% mark. France reached roughly one-third. 2025 figures are provisional. (ec.europa.eu)
Definition matters: this measure is renewables as a share of gross electricity consumption, not simply domestic electricity generation or total energy use. Eurostat adjusts wind and hydropower for weather variation; nuclear power does not count as renewable. (ec.europa.eu)
