Luxembourg Renewable Energy
Renewable energy consumption as % of total EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS
Luxembourg's renewable energy was 20.50% in 2021, ranked 103rd globally. This represents a 1.4% decrease from 2020. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2021.
Overview
Luxembourg's renewable energy stood at 20.50% in 2021, a decline of +0.30% from 2020. Luxembourg ranked 103rd globally.
Luxembourg’s share of renewable energy in total final consumption rose from a modest 1.70 percent in 1990 to 20.50 percent in 2021, placing the country at rank 103 globally. The upward trajectory accelerated after the early‑2000s trough of 1.30 percent in 2003, culminating in an all‑time peak of 20.80 percent in 2020 before a slight dip the following year. This progress mirrors the performance of peers such as Bulgaria, which recorded 20.40 percent, and Moldova at 21.40 percent, indicating that Luxembourg is keeping pace with other small‑to‑medium economies that have prioritized renewable integration. The 32‑year coverage shows a sustained shift toward cleaner sources, driven by policy incentives and expanding wind and solar capacity. If current investments in grid modernization and offshore wind continue, the share of renewables is likely to rise further, reinforcing Luxembourg’s transition toward a low‑carbon energy mix.
