SNEAK PREVIEW: What REALLY happens inside Ember?😂

The world can move from coal power to clean energy, and our Solutions Bank shows how. Featuring 1️⃣7️⃣case studies from 5️⃣ continents, this Bank will contribute to the Action Agenda for COP30. Launching today at #ClimateWeekNYC. Find out more here ⏩ poweringpastcoal.org/solutions-ba...

AGRIVOLTAICS... everything about it is amazing... except for the name 🤮😂

I love this image: how solar plus batteries can push out fossil fuel from the bottom up.

Saving a liveable planet AND freeing yourself from dependency on a bullying neighbour. Wins all round - except for the bully and fossil fuel companies.

NEW: Mexico could displace ALL US gas imports for power generation, with solar and batteries ☀️ The country’s abundant sunshine means it can become a global solar superpower and boost its energy security at the same time:)

China's ICE new car sales peaked in 2017. Seven years later, they had fallen by 48%🤯

I had to triplecheck this because I didn't believe it... All of the world's discovered reserves of fossil fuels = the same energy as just 5 days of sunlight hitting the Earth🤯 Solar power is basically unlimited🤷‍♂️

WOW! Provoked?! I'm not provoked... I'm excited! Michael says it's not a manifesto. But really it is. And I want to vote for it...

NEW DATA: ANOTHER year and EVEN HIGHER installations☀️ Solar's rise is absolutely mindblowing🤯

NEW | China installed more than twice as much solar capacity in the first half of 2025 as the rest of the world combined ☀️ 256 GW in just six months... 🤯 The rest of the world combined installed 124 GW.

Global electricity demand is rising fast - but gas is losing market share...

WEBINAR | The Electrotech Revolution is here and it's the most significant energy transformation since the world swapped wood for fossil fuels. 🔗 Join the launch webinar of the annual slidepack from @KingsmillBond and the Ember Futures team: https://loom.ly/7tS-hK4

Almost every African country is now importing Chinese solar panels - and a LOT of them. 100MW may not sound a lot, but in context of the low levels of electricity supply in some countries, 100MW is pretty mahoosive..

Make hay whilst the sun shines 👩‍🌾☀️ From the latest EIA state electricity data released yesterday..

NEW | 38 out of 50 US states recorded all-time highs for solar generation in June 2025 ☀️🏆 The latest EIA state electricity data released yesterday and collected by @ember-energy.org shows June was a record month across all parts of the US! 🇺🇸

Yes, my favourite energy transition stat: Chinese sales of oil-powered cars peaked in **2017**🤯

Excellent, comprehensive 🧵 from @cleanpowerdave.bsky.social on the massive shift in solar imports into Africa. All inferred from Chinese customs. China's materialist vision of domestic development is building out its' international base. Ecological outcomes, from autonomy and fiscal motivations.

Solar panel exports from China to Africa surged 60 per cent over the past year, says @ember-energy.org. Unlike previous jumps, this upward trend was spread across the continent – with 20 countries seeing import records and 25 countries importing more than 100 megawatts worth of panels.🔌💡

Really exciting times... :)

let's fucking go

The best news of these past days

NEW: The first evidence of a solar take-off in Africa☀️✈️ x33 rise in Algeria solar panel imports in the 12 mths to June 2025, compared to previous 12 mths. x8 in Zambia x7 in Botswana x6 in Sudan x3 in each of Liberia, DRC, Benin, Angola, Ethiopia 🧵

🎂As Ember turns five, our analysts share five charts that tell the story of global energy transition 🎊 Renewables growth, falling coal and electrification on the rise have been at the forefront of the five years of our insightful research⚡ 🧵1/7

WE HAVE NEW DATA! We have added CELL and WAFER data to our solar PANEL export explorer. It tracks China's exports (gigawatts and $) to every country in the world. It's updated monthly, within c.3 days of the Chinese data on 20th of the month. t.co/AgqjnbZGvq

JULY DATA UPDATE: and this summer really is about solar in eastern Europe... The speed of change of the electricity system is insane... 30-40% of the total monthly electricity generation is wow! ember-energy.org/data/electri...

In June, for the first time ever, solar was the largest source of power in the EU.

NEW: What’s new with national renewable targets? Not much! At COP28, every country agreed to work to triple global renewable capacity. But many countries have yet to update their 2030 targets..

"Slowdown? What slowdown?!" The main message from the @iea.org electricity review out today is the focus on robust rising electricity demand.. www.iea.org/reports/elec...

this is really worth a read... www.reuters.com/business/ene...

NEW | Almost half of US states had 10%+ share of solar power in May 🇺🇸☀️ The latest US state electricity generation data for May 2025 reveals just how far solar has come: 🕑 May 2015 → May 2025 California: 13% → 45% Nevada: 6% → 39% Texas: 0.1% → 12% Florida: 0.2% → 12%

It's incredible seeing where solar is.. ..and isn't! ☀️🌤️⛅️🌥️ From EIA state-by-state data for May released yesterday.

"MASSIVE SLOWDOWN IN CHINA'S SOLAR IN JUNE" Context:😶😂

REVISED: SolarPower Europe now expects the EU to install LESS solar in 2025 than it did in 2024 😲 The growing pains of solar are being felt, esp in residential sector 😬

🆕 The EU solar market is set to decline 2025 This marks the first year of negative solar growth in a decade📉 Rooftop solar declines as utility-scale picks up Read the press release 👉 www.solarpowereurope.org/press-releas... #EUSolarOutlook25

Oh my gosh, this was a great discussion.. I started off by being very excited by the #batteryrevolution, and by the end, David's enthusiasm had pushed me over the edge! Solar and batteries are going to change everything for the global electricity system!

Solar and batteries are a game-changer: New @ember-energy.org analysis in @carbonbrief.org shows that in major sunny cities, such as Las Vegas or Mexico City, solar + batteries can now get more than 90% of the way to continuous generation, at costs below those of coal or nuclear power.

JUNE DATA UPDATE for CHINA: Solar up 40% in June, keeping coal almost unchanged. Coal generation is down 2% YTD. ember-energy.org/data/electri...

Nuclear☢️ has been consistently the EU's biggest source of electricity for around a decade.. That changed in June, as solar became the #1 source of EU electricity. Sure, it's summer, but this is a big milestone for just how far solar has come, pushing coal to an all-time low💪

Wo ist das? Namibia🇳🇦, of course! There's around 70MW of rooftop solar now in Namibia, estimates Energy For Growth. Most of it seems to be on large gov/commercial roofs rather than households.

Powerful imagery: China vs US from @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Netherlands and Hungary hit 40% solar of total electricity generation during June...

In just 10 years, the UK's electricity sector has gone from #1 emitter to #6 emitter... what a transformation 👏🇬🇧 Now to see what clean power can do to help cut the other sectors..

There are 10 countries in the world that have had 50% or more of a months total electricity generation from only solar and wind. All 10 countries are in the EU

Batteries aren't new, so why is everyone talking about them only now? Because solar's pickup is sooo NEW. That means more negative prices + curtailment by day, whilst evenings remain expensive. The more prevelant solar becomes, the more you valuable battery is🔋
