      From: bruce1.9bowser@gmail.com              For the first time in history, solar power and wind power have combined for       more electricity generation than fossil fuels in the EU. Last month, the two       core renewables of the new clean energy era achieved that historic crossover       point.              solar power provided a record 14% of the EU’s electricity, from a record 27       TWh. That May total even beats the solar record set in the middle of summer,       July, last year.              This is also the first time that solar electricity beat coal electricity —       14%       versus 10%.              Wind power provided 17% (32 TWh) of the EU’s electricity in May. Clearly,       that       beats both of those other sources, but it’s not wind power’s record. Wind       power’s best month ever was 23% (54 TWh).              “The strong performance of wind and solar meant that EU coal generation fell       to an all-time monthly low in May, with just 10% (20 TWh) of EU electricity       coming from the most polluting source,” Ember writes. “The record-low coal       generation in May was just below the previous record set during the pandemic       lockdowns, when coal power generated slightly above 10% of EU electricity in       April 2020. Fossil gas recorded the lowest share of generation since 2018 at       just 15% of EU electricity during May.              Crossover — Solar & Wind Power Producing More Electricity Than Fossil Fuels       In EU.
