Today is PGE's AGM. While Europe works towards a future beyond #fossilfuels, PGE is still rooted in coal & expanding into gas while getting paid to pollute & actively delaying 🇪🇺's energy transition. Time to do better. Our new analysis on fossil fuel freeloaders👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/06/26/f...

Today's report by @newclimate.bsky.social finds 2030 climate targets are losing their meaning as Big Tech companies’ emissions increase & outdated emission accounting rules undermine transparency. Big Tech must take responsibility & govts must set clear rules to regulate Tech's soaring energy use.

🧵 1/7 🧐 In a world where #fossilfuel companies are already making billions of euros worth of profits every year, should they also be allowed to make money from gas power capacity market contracts paid for through European energy bills? Our new analysis 👉 beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/06/26/f...

1/6 After April’s huge power outage, Spain is responding with climate leadership—not in spite of the crisis, but because of it. A new proposed law would ramp up renewables, storage & electrification to make 🇪🇸's grid cleaner, more reliable, & independent. www.lamoncloa.gob.es/consejodemin...

New report from @wbcsd.bsky.social confirms findings from global polling conducted earlier this year: businesses aren't stepping back from climate action. 92% of surveyed business leaders say the cost of inaction on climate will outweigh the cost of the transition. www.wbcsd.org/actions/busi...

Ireland 🇮🇪 is kicking off a summer of European #coal plant closures and has officially eliminated coal from its electricity mix with the closure of its Moneypoint plant! Wind energy now powers more than a third of its electricity and is central to Ireland’s coal phase-out.

What do you do when 6000 olive trees are cut down overnight for a coal power plant project ? New doc by @350turkiye.bsky.social shows how the women in Yirca 🇹🇷 fought back, got the project cancelled, and shows what their lives look like 10 years on. Watch the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqtZ...

A new report from @ember-energy.org finds the EU energy transition is in full swing. By 2030: 📉 Fossil gas demand is set to fall 7% from 2023 levels 📈 Electrification is set to rise from 23% to 30% ⚡ Renewables are planned to hit 66% of the electricity mix Read more: ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

49 days after the blackout in the Iberian Peninsula, the Spanish government issued a report yesterday blaming both conventional power plant generators and the transmission operator (TSO), Red Eléctrica, for the power outage. Our statement below. elpais.com/economia/202...

New report from @ember-energy.org: EU fossil gas demand is set to drop 7% by 2030 and could fall even further as the EU seeks to phase-out Russian fossil fuels. Expanding gas capacity risks creating a big oversupply, leaving behind costly stranded assets. ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

🚨 BREAKING: The latest #BankingOnClimateChaos shows Barclays is still Europe’s largest banker of coal, oil, and fossil gas. In just 4 years, it has poured $98.9 billion into #fossilfuels. Banks must stop profiting at the planet's expense. See where your bank falls at bankingonclimatechaos.org

Good news in the UK as @neso-energy.bsky.social ‬ confirms “potential opportunities” for a short period of gas-free generation this year! If successful, 🇬🇧 would be one of the few industrialised countries to run its electricity system without domestic fossil gas. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

70+ NGOs have voiced concerns over the 🇪🇺 Council’s plan to debate the "simplification" of laws created to accelerate the transition away from #fossilfuels. This includes energy laws in the 'omnibus' programme that would keep Europe hooked on gas. Read the joint letter 📝 caneurope.org/joint-letter...

Ex-Google CEO ‌Eric Schmidt says AI needs “all energy—renewable, non-renewable, whatever.” We disagreed at this year's @irena-official.bsky.social Innovation Week. AI power demand is rising fast & must be met with new renewables + storage—not more fossil fuels. 📖 beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/02/10/s...

Municipalities in countries across Europe can take simple steps to become leaders of the energy transition and take advantage of the financial, social and health benefits that come along with it — like the ones in Italy laid out below!

🇮🇹's reliance on #fossilfuels has increased energy costs, worsened health & environmental issues, & deepened energy poverty for households across the country. Our new guide sets out steps municipalities can take to drive the energy transition. beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/06/05/d...
