Overview
Luxembourg is advancing its energy transition with ambitious targets to achieve 37% renewable energy in final consumption and a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The country prioritises decarbonisation, energy efficiency, and market liberalisation while maintaining a secure, competitive supply. Key measures include expanding renewables, enhancing grid interconnections, and implementing carbon pricing.

Highlights
- Luxembourg aims to reach a share of 37% of renewables in its final energy consumption in 2030 and to reduce its GHG emissions by 55%.
- Encevo is the dominant energy company.
- SEO operates the largest power plant.
- Almost the totality of the electricity consumed (97%) is imported. The electricity produced (80%) is mostly coming from renewables.
- Final energy consumption at normal climate decreased by 5%/year since 2019.
- Gasoline and diesel prices have increased by around 8%/year since 2020.
- Electricity prices in industry have almost tripled from 2021 to 2023.
- Luxembourg plans to develop electricity interconnections with Belgium, Germany, and France.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Ministry of Energy and Spatial Planning, through its Department of Energy, is responsible for the energy sector.
The Ministry of Environment, Climate, and Biodiversity oversees greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction policies.
The Luxembourg Institute of Regulation (ILR) regulates the electricity and gas markets.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
SEO, Société Electrique de l'Our (Luxembourg State and RWE 40.4% each), operates the Vianden pumped storage plant (1 291 MW) and 47 MW of run-of-river plants.
Soler (50% SEO, 50% Enovos) is the largest company developing renewable projects. In 2024, it operates 156 MW of wind power plants and 20 MW of hydropower plants.
Energy Supply & Demand
Resources:
Since it has no energy resources, the country imports almost all its needs; it produces a limited amount of electricity (from hydro, wind, and waste).
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Transport:
In 2024, gasoline prices decreased by 2% to €1.54/l after a 6% reduction in 2023, following their sharp increase from 2020 to 2022 (25%/year), whereas diesel prices decreased by 3% to €1.48/l (34%/year over 2020-22).
In 2024, taxes account for 50% of the price of gasoline (+2pp) and 44% for diesel (+3pp).
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
Limited projects are underway (30 MW of wind projects under construction and 80 MW under development).
