Germany is the leading European country for renewable energy capacity, at over 148 gigawatts installed as of 2022. 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 the United Kingdom.
