Global Renewable Energy Generation Surpasses Coal in 2025 (legrandcontinent.eu)

• Renewables overtake coal for global electricity generation.
• Europe sets record with wind and solar exceeding all fossil fuels.
• Declining fossil fuel reliance in China and India.

"In 2025, renewable energy sources officially generated more electricity globally than coal. Europe achieved a critical milestone, with solar and wind output surpassing the combined production of all fossil fuels. While fossil fuel usage saw marginal declines in major economies like China and India, the heating and transport sectors remain heavily carbon-intensive. This shift represents a structural change in the global power sector despite ongoing geopolitical challenges to climate policy."
