The charts provide data about energy production in Denmark, France, Germany and Switzerland in 2021. The table shows the amount of wind energy consumed per person in kilowatt hours (kWh), while the pie charts illustrate the proportion of renewable and non-renewable electricity production in percentages.
In 2000, Denmark had the highest wind energy usage, at 2,348 kWh, while Switzerland recorded the lowest with only 1 kWh. By 2021, Denmark’s figure had more than tripled, reaching 7,166 kWh. Other countries also experienced a noticeable rise: Germany’s number climbed from 344 to 3,692 kWh, and France’s one increased from just 2 to 1,499 kWh. Switzerland, in contrast, showed only a slight growth from 1 kWh to 44 kWh.
Looking at electricity production, Denmark relied mostly on renewables, which accounted for nearly three-quarters of the total. France had the opposite situation, with 78% of its production coming from non-renewable sources. Germany showed a similar trend to France but to a smaller extent, a bit more than a half, was produced from unsustainable sources. Switzerland, on the other hand, was closer to Denmark, with two-thirds of its electricity generated from green energy sources.
In conclusion, Denmark clearly took a lead in both wind energy consumption and renewable electricity production in 2021. France and Germany still depended heavily on non-renewables, while Switzerland performed relatively well in using clean sources, though its wind consumption remained very low.
