Renewable Energy Transition in Europe

Post-Russia-Ukraine Crisis Analysis

Overview

This project analyzes renewable energy transition trends across European countries after the Russia-Ukraine energy crisis.

Using SQL-based data modeling and Python-driven exploratory data analysis (EDA), the project investigates:

  • Renewable energy growth trends
  • Fossil fuel dependence
  • Energy transition risks
  • Renewable investment opportunities across Europe

Project Objectives

Part 1 — Transition Analysis

  • How has renewable energy adoption changed since 2000?
  • Is Europe accelerating its renewable transition?
  • Which countries are transitioning fastest?

Part 2 — Energy Risk Analysis

  • Which countries remain highly fossil dependent?
  • How uneven is the energy transition across Europe?
  • Which countries remain vulnerable to fossil fuel reliance?

Part 3 — Investment Opportunity Analysis

  • Which countries show strong renewable growth potential?
  • Which markets are emerging renewable opportunities?
  • Which countries combine high fossil dependence with accelerating renewable growth?

Dataset

The dataset contains country-level energy indicators from 2000–2024, including:

  • Renewable energy share
  • Fossil fuel share
  • Low-carbon energy share

Tech Stack

  • Python
  • Pandas
  • Matplotlib / Seaborn
  • MySQL
  • SQL
  • Jupyter Notebook

Database Design

The project uses a relational database structure with:

  • fact_energy
  • entity
  • year
  • indicator

A star-schema style design was used to support flexible energy trend analysis.


Key Insights

Europe Accelerated Renewable Adoption

  • Europe’s renewable energy share increased from ~7% in 2000 to ~18% in 2024
  • Renewable adoption accelerated after the Russia-Ukraine crisis

Transition Progress Remains Uneven

  • Denmark emerged as a renewable leader
  • Poland and Belarus remain highly fossil dependent
  • Estonia showed accelerating renewable transition momentum after 2020

Future Investment Opportunities

Countries with:

  • high fossil dependence
  • accelerating renewable growth

may represent strong future renewable investment markets.


Visualizations

The project includes:

  • Europe vs World renewable trend analysis
  • Fossil fuel dependence analysis
  • Renewable investment opportunity landscape
  • Energy transition trajectory analysis
