South Korea joins the PPCA (@PastCoal) — a major step towards phasing out coal and scaling renewables. A powerful signal for Asia’s energy future.

#COP30 #EnergyTransition #PPCA

[Wopke Hoekstra @WBHoekstra]

Like the 🇪🇺, South Korea is at @Cop30noBrasil to negotiate an ambitious outcome with a firm commitment to take the clean transition forward.

I commend 🇰🇷 Minister Sung-hwan for joining the @PastCoal to phase out coal and invest in renewables and low-carbon technologies.

[Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) @PastCoal]

Solutions are emerging to help countries move from coal to clean 🤝

That's why the CTC, co-chaired by France and Indonesia, will launch two new reports to show credible pathways to accelerate coal transitions.

1/2 After unveiling their new Plan to Accelerate Coal Transitions last week, the Powering @PastCoal Alliance welcomed new members today: the Republic of Korea, Bahrain and Guatemala.

[Al Gore @algore]

There was a hugely important announcement today at COP30: South Korea joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, and in doing so, announced it will not build any new coal plants and will shut down 40 existing plants by 2040. As the country with the 7th largest coal fleet, this is a significant signal to the rest of the world. I offer my sincere thanks and congratulations to President Lee Jae-Myung on this action. https://t.co/Z8j3wl88XD

[Energy Tracker Asia @energynewsasia]

South Korea joining the Powering Past Coal Alliance (@PastCoal) at #COP30 (@Cop30noBrasil) is a major shift for Asia. A faster coal exit, stronger climate leadership and new momentum for clean energy now reshape expectations across the region.

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 💪

[Ember @ember_energy]

NEW | Solar and wind grew 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 (1/2)
