NEW | Solar power surge in 2025 stalls rise in fossil electricity worldwide ⚡📈 Clean power growth outpaced global electricity demand last year – with solar alone supplying THREE-QUARTERS of the increase in demand ☀️ ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

RECORD | Last month, wind and solar overtook coal in Türkiye's electricity mix for the FIRST time ⚡ Solar alone also overtook imported coal for the first time last month - marking an important turning point in 🇹🇷's energy transition ☀️ ember-energy.org/tr/guncellemel…

There's a $1 billion opportunity from capturing coal mine methane emissions in India by 2030 🇮🇳 💹 🗣️ "What's missing is a governance framework that turns proven technology into standard practice," says @zerodhamarkets, covering Ember's report. youtu.be/Rh0jds3abms?t=…

🇮🇳 India curtailed 300 GWh of renewable generation in Q1 2026 due to transmission constraints⚡ Battery storage is the fastest available fix and the economics already work: 📉 Solar + battery power: INR 7-8/kWh vs. 💹 Peak power procurement: INR 10/kWh ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

By 2029, Ember estimates the short-term warming impact of India's coal mine methane could reach about 138 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent. That's roughly equal to the CO2 emissions from every truck and bus on Indian roads in 2021. Underground mining is a bigger culprit, making up 15% of methane emissions.

🗣"India's renewable energy curtailment arising from transmission constraints is beginning to reach materially significant levels," says Ember's Duttatreya Das. Read the full analysis ⤵️ ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

India has met only 80% of its transmission targets over the past 5 years. 20 GW of renewables faces 4+ month connectivity delays Battery storage is the fastest fix. Roughly 3-4 GW of two-hour storage could absorb most curtailed generation 🔋 2/3

🇮🇳 NEW | India lost 300 GWh of renewable energy in the first quarter of 2026 due to grid bottlenecks ⚡ On 30 March alone, 34 GWh went to waste – enough to power 5 million urban homes 🏠 🧵 1/3 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

🚨 NEW DATA | China's cleantech exports in April 2026 remained near record levels despite changes in its tax rebate policies which were expected to slow down solar and battery exports. The modest drop in solar and batteries were offset by a surge in EV exports 🚗⚡

Rising renewables limit gas and its price-setting role in #Britain’s wholesale power market 🔒💷 When gas is at its lowest, wholesale prices fall ☔ In 2025, 📉 hours with gas <20% of the mix averaged £60/MWh, VS 📈 hours with gas >50% averaged £130/MWh ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Rising solar and wind is meeting most of Brazil’s new electricity demand amid hydropower’s decline due to drought conditions, keeping its power system one of the world’s cleanest. ember-energy.org/latest-insight… 2/2

Brazil’s solar generation surpassed fossil fuels in 2025, catching up with wind which outpaced fossil power three years earlier ☀️🇧🇷 🧵 1/2

Germany is undergoing a battery storage boom, with both grid-scale and residential markets scaling fast. - Grid-scale batteries DOUBLED from 1.2 GW in 2023 to 2.5 GW in 2025. - 2mn homes with battery systems today, potentially rising to 7mn by 2030. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

🚨 #Britain’s gas share suffered historic back-to-back lows, while #wind provided a record monthly high of 42% of all British power in March 2026 🌪️🏆 Monthly gas shares in both March (27%) and April (19%) were the lowest in over 10 years 📉 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Left unmitigated, India's coal mine methane emissions could soon reach 138 MtCO2e by 2030 – comparable to emissions from its entire heavy-duty transport sector in 2021. That’s all the emissions from every truck and bus in the country combined 📉 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

India could save about $980 MILLION by 2030 by capturing and utilising coal mine methane 💶 Capturing fugitive methane from coal mines would offset imports and cut cumulative emissions, making it an economic opportunity. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Germany had 2.5 GW of operational grid-scale batteries in 2025, the largest fleet in the EU 🔋 Another 10 GW is in the pipeline. Had that capacity been online in 2025, Germany could have avoided €830 million in gas purchases and solar redispatch costs. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

India continues to add solar power, installing 54% more capacity in 2025 than the preceding year, exceeding additions in the US 🇮🇳☀️ Following continued capacity growth, India’s solar generation became the largest source of clean electricity in 2025. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

🗣️ “Amid daily volatility, a more stable future for the power system is gradually emerging,” highlights Ember’s @FrankieMayo_ Full analysis 👇 ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Usually, gas sets the price of power under the market’s marginal pricing structure, creating a link between gas and electricity prices 🔗 However, 3/4 of new renewable projects built between 2023-25 came through the Contracts for Difference scheme which provides a fixed price ✅

🚨 NEW | 15% of #Britain’s electricity generation is already independent from the gas power price, securing price stability amid the energy crisis 🔒💷 This is set to more than double to a third (36%) of British power by 2030 🌪️☀️📈 (🧵 1/3) ember-energy.org/latest-insight…
