Data from the newly released [EMBER Global Electricity Mid-Year Insights 2025](https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/global-electricity-mid-year-insights-2025/). Chart made with [Datawrapper](https://www.datawrapper.de/).
Do you know what happened in the EU to substantially decrease hydropower generation?
Note, it is mostly China tipping the renewable side of the scale with solar.
