POWER Project [2024-1-RO01-KA220-HED-000245038]
Introduction
Now that you know the main clean energy sources and supporting technologies, it is time to see how they work in practice. In this interactive session, you will explore real energy generation data from the four POWER partner countries and their neighbours: Romania, Spain, Malta, and Moldova. By comparing national energy mixes, you will discover how geography, policy, and history shape each country's energy profile — and begin to understand why certain technologies become targets for disinformation campaigns.
POWER Project [2024-1-RO01-KA220-HED-000245038]
OER Learning Objectives
By the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
Read and interpret real energy generation data from Eurostat and IRENA sources.
Compare the energy mixes of Romania, Spain, Malta, and Moldova, identifying the role of each clean energy source.
Analyse how geographical, economic, and policy factors shape national energy profiles.
Discuss which clean energy technologies are most vulnerable to disinformation and explain why.

What is an energy mix?
An energy mix is the combination of different energy sources a country uses to meet its electricity and overall energy needs. Electricity generation mix and primary energy mix are not the same: electricity is only one component of total energy, alongside transport and heating. Sources are typically grouped into fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), nuclear energy, and renewables (hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal). Every country's energy mix is shaped by its geography (sun, wind, rivers), available resources (fossil fuel reserves, land), policy choices (subsidies, targets), and historical infrastructure. Data from Eurostat and IRENA allow us to compare countries using standardised indicators such as share of renewables in gross electricity consumption (%) and total generation by source (TWh).

The role of the national context A country's energy mix shapes which disinformation narratives gain traction locally. In Spain, where solar and wind deployment is massive and visible, narratives about ecocide and rural destruction resonate strongly — the POWER monitoring found that the "ecocide/macro-projects" narrative dominated general renewable energy disinformation in Spain. In Romania, where coal communities face job losses from the energy transition, narratives about economic harm and elite imposition find fertile ground.

- Which clean energy sources dominate in each country, and what geographical or policy factors explain these differences?
- How has the share of renewables evolved over the past decade in each country?
- Which clean energy technologies are most targeted by disinformation, and why might their role in the national mix make them more vulnerable?

Wind and solar as targets The POWER project's systematic literature review and social media monitoring confirm that wind and solar are by far the most targeted technologies. Onshore wind attracts narratives about bird kills, noise-related illness, landscape destruction, and technical unreliability. Offshore wind faces claims about whale deaths, marine ecosystem damage, and storm vulnerability. Solar PV is targeted with claims about toxic waste, short lifespan, high cost, and land use.

Introduction
Now that you know the main clean energy sources and supporting technologies, it is time to see how they work in practice. In this interactive session, you will explore real energy generation data from the four POWER partner countries and their neighbours: Romania, Spain, Malta, and Moldova. By comparing national energy mixes, you will discover how geography, policy, and history shape each country's energy profile — and begin to understand why certain technologies become targets for disinformation campaigns.
POWER Project [2024-1-RO01-KA220-HED-000245038]
OER Learning Objectives
By the end of this lecture, you will be able to:
Read and interpret real energy generation data from Eurostat and IRENA sources.
Compare the energy mixes of Romania, Spain, Malta, and Moldova, identifying the role of each clean energy source.
Analyse how geographical, economic, and policy factors shape national energy profiles.
Discuss which clean energy technologies are most vulnerable to disinformation and explain why.

What is an energy mix?
An energy mix is the combination of different energy sources a country uses to meet its electricity and overall energy needs. Electricity generation mix and primary energy mix are not the same: electricity is only one component of total energy, alongside transport and heating. Sources are typically grouped into fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), nuclear energy, and renewables (hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal). Every country's energy mix is shaped by its geography (sun, wind, rivers), available resources (fossil fuel reserves, land), policy choices (subsidies, targets), and historical infrastructure. Data from Eurostat and IRENA allow us to compare countries using standardised indicators such as share of renewables in gross electricity consumption (%) and total generation by source (TWh).
