When did the energy infrastructure map come out?

It was published mid-October 2022 and was updated in early 2023, by adding new projects (updates are not recurrent but happen when project development so requires). The projects featured on this map illustrate some of the EU’s policy achievements on energy infrastructure.

How are load centers distributed in Europe?

In Europe, the distribution of load centers and renewable energy development varies from country to country. For instance, in Germany, the wind- and solar-energy resources are widely distributed, and the development of photovoltaic and wind power is mainly dispersed and connected to a distribution system of ≤10 kV.

How do I show power plants in a country?

The pie chart indicates the number of plants per energy source in the country. Click a country to show the country's total energy capacity in the bar chart at the top of the filter panel. Use the setting Show power plants to show or hide individual plants on the map.
