How will Luxembourg contribute to energy independence?

Luxembourg is already participating in cross-border renewable energy projects and is committed to expanding its role in collaborative projects such as those related to offshore wind energy in the North Sea and hydrogen corridors, to contribute to the EU's goal of energy independence.

What is the electricity generation capacity in Luxembourg?

Table I lists the current and projected future electricity generation capacity in Luxembourg for different energy sources. Already today, the majority of the capacity comes from renewable sources, including solar, wind, hydro, biogas, and biomass, totaling a maximum installed generation of 553 MW (471 MW for solar and wind) .

Additionally, countries like Denmark and Iowa have demonstrated that wind energy can achieve a significant share—more than half of their production—illustrating the potential of wind energy to diversify Luxembourg's low-carbon sources.

How can Luxembourg increase its low-carbon electricity generation?

The absence of growth in electricity, especially in the low-carbon sector, is concerning for the future as the electrification of various industries and the proliferation of artificial intelligence lead to increasing energy demands. To increase its low-carbon electricity generation, Luxembourg could look to successful regions as models.

Is Luxembourg a net energy importer?

Luxembourg is a net energy importer; 81.5% of the electricity consumed in the country, for example, was imported from neighboring European countries in 2021. There was no decline in the climate change gas emissions (CO 2) from year 2008 to 2012 in Luxembourg. There was no better efficiency in the use of electricity from 2008 to 2012.
