The share of renewable energies in electricity generation in Sweden grew from percent in 2000 to percent in 2023. Sweden is one of the countries with the highest penetration of renewables worldwide, and produces most of its electricity from hydropower, which accounted for roughly **percent of the total generation in 2024. Wind energy is also a growing contributor to the country’s energy mix, accounting for a share of ** percent during that year. By 2030, Sweden aims to reach a 100 percent share of renewables in electricity.

Renewable energy expansion across sectors 

Sweden's progress in renewable electricity generation aligns with its broader efforts to integrate clean energy across various sectors. In 2022, renewables accounted for **percent of total energy consumption, the highest share recorded in recent years. This comprehensive approach extends to heating and cooling, where renewable sources made up **** percent of the energy mix in 2023. Solid biofuels, biogas, and renewable waste are some of the main sources used in renewable heating in Sweden. The consistent renewable adoption across different sectors reflects Sweden's holistic approach to sustainable energy.  

Sweden’s renewable capacity and generation 

Sweden's total renewable energy capacity reached approximately **** terawatts in 2023, growing by more than ** percent since 2009. This capacity growth has translated into increased generation, with renewable electricity production reaching *** terawatt hours in 2024. These figures cement Sweden's position as one of the countries with the highest share of renewables over the total energy consumption.
