This statistic displays the share of installed power capacity in the European Union (EU-28) in 2005 and 2017, by generation type. Wind power has increased significantly from 41 gigawatts of installed capacity to 169 gigawatts over the course of just over a decade. Coal installed capacity has fallen from the highest share to the third, behind both wind power and gas.
