Differing trajectories - nuclear and solar.

🔆 Renewables remain Europe’s strongest driver of progress. As clean energy capacity grows, more countries are moving to a fossil-free future — strengthening climate ambition, energy security, and economic resilience across the continent.

☘️ Ireland joined coal-free club earlier this year, becoming the 15th coal-free country in Europe— thanks to major renewable progress. However, faces a new challenge: data centres, responsible for 88% of electricity demand growth since 2015, are posing a serious risk of escalating emissions.

Across Europe, coal generation has fallen more than 55% in the past decade, while wind and solar now produce twice as much electricity than coal. Central and Eastern Europe are driving progress too — Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia dramatically increased their solar generation since 2022.

🇪🇸 Spain is on the cusp of a coal-free mainland power system, with coal generation has fallen 97% since the early 2000s, making up just 1% of the power mix this year. The payoff? Cleaner air and a 95% drop in coal emissions in ten years.
