#RenewableEnergy overtook #coal as world's leading source of #electricity in first half of #2025 - a historic first.
Electricity demand is growing around world but growth in #solar and #wind was so strong it met 100% of the extra electricity demand, even helping drive a slight decline in coal and gas use.
Developing countries, especially #China, led the clean energy charge but richer nations including the #US and #EU relied more than before on planet-warming #fossilfuels.

Oregon Accelerates Green Energy Projects Before Trump Phase-Out of Tax Credits
---

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek told state agencies to take “any and all steps necessary” to expedite solar and wind permits before federal green energy tax credits expire next year. The order prioritizes high-priority projects to begin by July 2026.

Renewable energy sources generated more electricity than coal globally for the first time in the first half of 2025, driven by rapid growth in China and India, a report by a think tank has shown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/10/08/energy/renewable-energy-overtakes-coal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #renewables #energy #coal #solar #wind #india #china #climatechange #environment

Australia’s rooftop solar market has climbed by more than 16% in the past month with the latest data revealing that 237 MW of small-scale rooftop PV capacity was installed last month as consumers increasingly turned to solar-plus-storage solutions.

639 MWh of small-scale battery energy storage was added in September, up by 55% on the previous month and equivalent to 75% of 2024’s annual tally

🌞 Solar leads EU electricity generation as renewables hit 54%

｢ Some countries are already nearly 100% renewable. Denmark led with an impressive 94.7% share of renewables in net electricity generated, followed by Latvia (93.4%), Austria (91.8%), Croatia (89.5%), and Portugal (85.6%). At the other end of the spectrum, Slovakia (19.9%), Malta (21.2%), and the Czech Republic (22.1%) lagged behind ｣

The woman expected to be Japan’s next prime minister is set to keep nuclear power at the core of the nation’s energy strategy, while reducing emphasis on readily available renewables like solar. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/06/japan/politics/takaichi-focus-on-nuclear-energy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #sanaetakaichi #ldp #nuclearenergy #renewables #solar

This feels like a mastodon thing - there is a UK hospital trust trying to get rid of 132 used solar panels from demolished buildings. Schuco MPE 190 MS 06, tested in 2023 at 89% original capacity. No mountings or inverters, believe would be free for collection only from the Midlands. If anyone has a project or community group that would benefit message me for contact #solar #solarpanels @bloor @revk ?

@pluralistic imagine if all that #AI hype money was invested into #solar 🤯
