The linked article is poor. The original report covers all the different aspects to the reduction in fossil electricity generation.
See https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/european-electricity-review-2024/ https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/european-electri...
For a summary look at the "What drove the record fall in EU fossil fuel electricity generation in 2023?" graphic.
The reductions are as follows:
* -90 TWh - Rising wind and solar generation
* -50 TWh - Rebound in hydro and nuclear generation
* -94 TWh - Electricity demand fall
The area graph "How the EU's electricity mix has evolved over time" gives you a good idea of the impact renewables have made on electricity generation.
