Germany is the leading European country for renewable energy capacity, at almost 167 gigawatts installed as of 2023. Spain ranked second, but accounted for less than half the German capacity of renewable energy. Unsurprisingly, the largest consumption of renewable energy in Europe also occurred in Germany, followed by France.
