nuclear power generation dropped mainly in France when its nuclear fleet went under revision, the decline in hydropower production was due to reduced rainfall in Europe in 2022.
Solar and windy energy accounted for the largest year-on-year changes in electricity production in the European Union in 2022. However, the use of coal for electricity generation increased by almost 30 terawatt-hours that year. Hydropower and nuclear energy production decreased considerably in the EU in these six months, by 43 and 47 terawatt-hours, respectively. While Year-on-year changes in electricity generation in the European Union in 2022 relative to 2021, by source of energy (in terawatt-hours)
