Renewable energy with a historic record. In May they constituted nearly 38 percent. domestic mix

In May, renewable energy once again broke the record in terms of the volume of produced electricity and participation in the power mix, which amounted to 37.5 percent. – informed the energy forum in its monthly. Cheerful sources were most of the mix than hard coal.

“In May, a total of 37.5 percent (4.9 TWh) produced from renewable sources. This is not only the largest monthly volume of energy made from renewable energy” – wrote the forum on the site.

It was added that in March and April production from renewable energy was record -high, but in May it achieved an even higher volume.

At the same time, it was noted that in the past month, weather sources, i.e. solar and wind, constituted over 30 percent for the first time in history. produced electricity i They constituted most of the mix than hard coal.

“The production of electricity from both hard and brown coal was record -breaking – 6.3 TWh, and its participation in the mix for the second month in a row remained below 50 percent. Low production of electricity from coal also generated low CO2 emissions, reaching historically the lowest level – 6.2 million tons of CO2” – it was written.

It was added that wind sources were responsible for 33.7 percent. (1.7 TWh) RES generation in May, and PV installations produced more energy than wind sources, reaching 2.3 TWh and 47.7 percent. RES generation.

Biomas installations produced around 0.8 TWh in May, and 0.1 TWh hydroelectric power plants.

The Energy Forum referred to own development on the basis of ENTSO-E, PSE and ARE data. (PAP Biznes)
