A report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) has shown that electricity production in Europe as at June 2020 was 831.0 TWh.
This figure represents two percent lower than that of June 2019.
The report further explained, however, that, electricity production recorded 7.8 percent higher than recorded in May 2020.
“Total production during the first six months of 2020 was 4, 974.4 TWh compared to 5, 184.6 TWh during the same period in 2019,” the report said.
These decreases in electricity production were attributed to the Covid-19 crisis and the impact of lockdown measures throughout Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD) member countries.
It indicated that in June 2020, after record low levels in April and May, production in OECD recovered to being closer to historical levels as lockdown measures eased.
