Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA)
@pastcoal.bsky.social
A coalition of national and sub-national governments, businesses and organisations working to advance the transition from unabated coal power to clean energy.
Renewables overtook coal as the main source of power this year, but there's still much to be done to accelerate the coal transition.

New Report ⏩ Renewables overtook coal in the energy mix for the first three quarters of 2025.
Fossil Fuel generation is not expected to rise for the first time since 2020.
And renewables accounted for all new demand growth 💪

NEW | Solar and wind have grown fast enough to meet ALL new electricity demand in the first three quarters of 2025, leaving fossil generation at a standstill.
Ember forecasts that 2025 could be the first year since Covid-19 without a rise in fossil power.

For the first time on record, renewables have generated more of the world’s electricity than coal.
Let that sink in.
This is a sign of how cheap renewables are transforming the economics of power generation.

Solar and wind met all electricity demand growth, leading to a slight fall in fossil fuel generation | Ember
Solar and wind outpaced the growth in global electricity demand in the first half of 2025, resulting in a very small decline in both coal and gas, compared to the same period last year.
