The 2024 EU power sector at a glance:

☀️ Solar was the fastest growing power source
🌊 Hydro & nuclear bounced back, pushing generation from clean sources to a RECORD 71% of the mix
📉 Fossil power fell to a historic low, with declines in coal & gas

BREAKING: Katowice, once the heart of Polish coal, joins the PPCA🎉

Katowice, the capital of the Silesia region, once relied on coal as the backbone of its economy. Now, it's a shining example of just transition in action.

The city becomes the sixth Polish member of the PPCA 💪

We're partnering w/@BloombergDotOrg to lead North Macedonia’s clean energy transformation. This collaboration is creating a powerful model for how MDBs & philanthropy can work together to drive meaningful progress and mobilise support for sustainable energy transitions.

[Antha N. Williams @anthawilliams]

There's a lot we can do to unlock the financing & policy mechanisms we need to phase out coal once and for all.

A new report by the Coal Transition Commission outlines actionable recommendations to accelerate the coal phase-out in line with 1.5°C: https://t.co/9Rop8xgL8Z #COP29

[The EBRD @EBRD]

A transformative milestone with the first-ever partnership between @EBRD and @BloombergDotOrg! Together, we’re advancing North Macedonia’s shift away from coal, help mobilise capital to accelerate the path to a clean energy future.

[Bloomberg Philanthropies @BloombergDotOrg]

Coal is the single largest contributor of global warming.

By phasing out coal, we can reduce emissions, protect public health, and halt the progression of climate change. Today’s closure of the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, the last coal plant in the UK, is a monumental step for the UK to fulfill its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reaching net-zero by 2050.

[Annya Schneider @AnnyaSchneider]

A major milestone today as the UK closes its last coal plant. In 2012, the UK still burned coal to generate 40% of its electricity. Today, the UK becomes the first G7 member to phaseout coal from its electricity mix.

[Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) @PastCoal]

The UK was the first country to open a public coal-fired power station in 1882 – and now it is going to be the first G7 economy to close its last one down.

This rapid phaseout proves countries can transition from coal to clean at pace:

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Working towards our targets will increase the demand for critical raw materials.

This is why the @UN SG’s Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals has my full support.

We will continue working together for robust supply chains, transparent and fair throughout.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

When we rallied behind global targets to triple renewables at COP28, it was one of these moments when the world feels united as one.

Now we must double down on implementation, collectively, to reach these targets ↓ https://t.co/nHy79Pg03a

[Eurocities @EUROCITIES]

Brussels' #GoodMove plan two years since its implementation proves it’s delivering its promises according to @POLITICOEurope.
🚲 Cycling is up 20% 📈
🚙 Number of cars down by 20% 📉
🍃 NO2 levels dropped by up to 35% at intersections

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

May 2024 was the hottest May in history, marking 12 straight months of hottest months ever.

Our planet is telling us something, but we don't seem to be listening.

It’s time to mobilise, act & deliver.

It's #ClimateAction crunch time.

A thread on global gas generation🧵

Global gas generation would be falling, if it wasn't for the US..

@delapresilla @Bloomberg It's a great office ! Enjoy!

[Bloomberg Philanthropies @BloombergDotOrg]

The Bełchatów coal plant in Poland is Europe’s biggest and highest polluting power plant and transitioning the plant to clean energy requires a plan that shows that a clean energy future is a viable opportunity for the region.

This short film uncovers how our partners are working to outline a transition plan for coal plants and regions around the world. Watch the full video on YouTube: https://t.co/PM2Kyc88lK

[Beyond Fossil Fuels @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social @Beyond_Fossils]

🚨Germany’s #CoalMines emit 184x more harmful #Methane than the country reports, resulting in a 14% increase in national methane emissions.

@RWE and @LEAG’s mines are the worst offenders according to @EmberClimate ⬇️
