Coal is falling rapidly as a source of Polish electricity, but dependable coal capacity remains part of the reliability calculation through the transition.
Poland’s coal transition is moving much faster than the country’s reputation suggests. Coal supplied 72.5% of Polish electricity in 2021. By 2025 it was down to 52.7%, while renewables reached 31.4%. Coal supplied less than half of generation in five separate months, and in June renewables generated more electricity than … [continued]
I was going to say that one of the craziest things Trump has done as president is cancel billions of dollars of wind power leases and pay off companies to not build wind farms. But then, yeah, it quickly hit me this isn’t even close to one of the craziest … [continued]
By Josh Gabbatiss, Molly Lempriere, Simon Evans In a new report, the opposition Conservatives argue that UK electricity prices are too high and that it would be better for the climate to have cheap electricity, even if that means using more gas. The idea is that cheap power would encourage people to use … [continued]
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Washington Post reported that one of Trump’s recent secret deals to cancel offshore wind projects and bolster fossil fuels will result in a pay day for one of Trump’s million-dollar donors to the tune of $900 million. In August, the Trump administration announced a deal with German … [continued]

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Today, the Tennessee Valley Authority approved its 2026 Integrated Resource Plan, setting the stage to overbuild risky gas power plants to serve A.I. data center interests. TVA’s 2026 IRP lays out a dangerous and expensive roadmap for the people of the Tennessee Valley, where our power grid … [continued]
95 foundations now installed at East Anglia THREE offshore windfarm, off the coast of Suffolk The £4 billion project is a joint venture between green energy company, ScottishPower and Masdar, a global clean energy leader Milestone marks major engineering feat for project that will generate 1.4GW of clean power, boost … [continued]
The ambitious push by the Department of Energy (DOE) in the Philippines to accelerate clean energy transitions is encountering major friction on the ground. As developers race to build onshore wind facilities to hit national decarbonization targets, projects are running directly into complex regulatory frameworks, environmental constraints, and strong organized … [continued]
Ontario should build clean energy and flexibility first, then size new nuclear to the durable gap that remains.
Ontario needs a lot more electricity. Demand hit 145.6 TWh in 2025, up 4.4% in a year, and IESO’s reference case gets to 250 TWh by 2050. But its own range runs from 207 to 297 TWh. That’s not a rounding error. It’s a completely different buildout depending on which … [continued]
Heatwaves are becoming more likely and more intense due to climate change, impacting sources of power generation around the world as they work to meet increased demand. When temperatures soared past 40C in parts of Europe in June and July 2026, nuclear reactors shuttered, gas plants’ efficiency fell, wind speeds dropped and … [continued]
