BREAKING⚡️Power sector emissions may have peaked in 2022, as wind and solar reach a record 12% of global electricity. Our fourth annual Global Electricity Review presents data from 78 countries, representing 93% of global electricity demand. #GER2023 ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

⚡️10 key trends in the global power sector in 2022 🧵Thread on the key findings of Ember's Global Electricity Review #GER2023 ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

Remember the hysteria over how the energy crisis was going to force the EU to burn more highly polluting coal? Well it didn’t turn out that way… Coal consumption dropped in Europe over winter despite energy crisis ft.com/content/8d950a…

⚡️ A new era in the power sector 📉Fossil fuel electricity generation might have peaked in 2022. 📈Record expansion of renewable power is pushing oil, gas and coal out of the grid @EmberClimate | #ClimateChange

I've covered climate in some capacity for at least 15 years and the last few years is really the first time where the story is that the energy transition is *actually happening*. Still wayyyyy too slow. But happening.

Do you want to understand what is happening in the global power system? Where is the electricity transition headed? Who is a leader? Who is a laggard? At @EmberClimate, we have compiled the data and tools to help you do just that. Here are some of the tools we built: (1/10)

Ember is expanding! LOTS of interesting jobs up for grabs - aimed at speeding up the transition to clean power. Check them all out here: ember-climate.org/careers/ I can't emphasise enough what a great org this is to work for. Come join the vibe! (DM with any questions 🤗)

A significant milestone for the EU

The share of fossil fuels in New Mexico's electricity mix is falling off a cliff. It's down to a record low of 34% as of April. Just two decades ago, fossil fuels produced 99% of the state's power. Why you ask? (1/5)

Shocking investigation - As energy prices soared in 2022, Drax found a subsidy loophole that cost billpayers £millions

NEW The UK government has just quietly published estimates showing wind and solar will be several times cheaper than gas, for the foreseeable future A few senior cabinet members (& a large section of the media) might like to take a look? THREAD with charts + caveats

NEW | Solar generates 1/5 of global electricity on solstice midday peak Ember estimates that solar will generate 20% of the world's electricity across the midday peaks today, an increase from 16% last year 📈☀️ Read the analysis ember-climate.org/insights/in-br…

NEW | China's coal-fired power generation fell for a third consecutive month in July 2024 Our latest @EmberClimate data shows that wind and solar + gains in hydropower have led to the largest declines in two years and the first sustained declines since the Covid-19 pandemic.

The UK closes its LAST coal plant at the end of this month, marking the beginning of its coal-free era. How did the home of the world’s first coal-fired power station finally phase it out? Read more in our latest report 👀 ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

The UK had its first coal-free day in 2017. Next month, a new coal-free era begins with the closure of the UK’s last coal plant 🇬🇧 ember-climate.org/insights/resea…

This is testament to the incredible work the Ember team are doing across Asia and Europe - spread across 17 countries and counting (!)

🚨 NEW RECORD | Fossil fuels fell below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record This was driven by solar and wind reaching a record high 📈 In March 2025, solar rose by 37% (+8.3 TWh) and wind by 12% (+5.7 TWh) compared to the year before ↗️ ember-energy.org/data/us-electr…

5️⃣🎂 Five years in, Ember’s vision of an electric future is becoming reality. Born in 2020 to empower decisionmakers with open data, Ember has fast-tracked the transition 💡 Now solar is surging, fossils are entering terminal decline and the electrotech revolution is here ⚡️☀️
