In Denmark, 64% of electricity was generated from wind and solar.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Climate news in your inbox?<strong>\u00a0Sign up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, fossil fuelled generation dropped by 18%. Coal bore the brunt of the fall, with generation declining in every country where it was part of the electricity mix.<\/p>\n<p>It fell by 95% in Portugal, which saw extended periods completely coal-free, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/07\/15\/portugal-ends-coal-burning-two-years-ahead-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bringing forward the planned shutdown of coal-fired power plants<\/a> by two years to 2021.

For the first time, Poland generated more electricity from coal than its western neighbour and as much as the remaining 25 EU member states combined.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Poland announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/07\/21\/poland-bails-coal-yet-wins-access-eu-climate-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a bailout plan for its coal mining sector<\/a> which is suffering from falling demand, cheaper alternatives and accumulated financial losses. The country does not have a timeline for phasing out coal and has yet to sign up to the EU&#8217;s 2050 carbon neutrality target.<\/p>\n<p>That did not stop Brussels allowing Warsaw access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/07\/21\/poland-bails-coal-yet-wins-access-eu-climate-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50% of its allocated EU funds intended to help countries transition away from fossil fuels<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jones said Poland had been one of the most affected EU countries by the drop in electricity demand. It also has the second most expensive electricity in Europe, leading to imports and renewables undercutting domestic coal generation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/07\/21\/poland-bails-coal-yet-wins-access-eu-climate-funds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Poland<\/strong> bails out coal, yet wins access to EU climate funds<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gas generation fell by 6% with declines registered in 11 countries, including significant drops in Spain and Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Jones told Climate Home News renewable sources overtaking fossil fuels in electricity generation had been &#8220;inevitable&#8221; after wind and solar produced more electricity than coal last year. &#8220;But Covid-19 has sped things up probably by a couple of years,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Now the trend can only continue. &#8220;Every year more renewables are coming online. This is not a one off &#8211; it&#8217;s not going to switch back,&#8221; he said, even if the pandemic significantly slows down new wind and solar installations this year.<\/p>\n<p>Jones said the EU now had an opportunity to use its combined \u20ac1.8 trillion seven-year budget and recovery package to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels and meet its climate ambition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wind and solar have increased but not enough to the levels that we need to see in the 2020s,&#8221; he said. If the EU increased its 2030 target to reduce emissions by 55% from 1990 levels &#8211; up from 40% now &#8211; it would need &#8220;to deploy two to three times more wind per year in the 2020s than it has over the last decade,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wind and solar produced a record fifth of the European Union&#8217;s electricity during the first half of the year &#8211; a trend accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic  ","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":29970,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,82,598,439],"tags":[],"coauthors":[4267],"class_list":["post-42178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy","category-eu","category-fossil-fuels","category-renewables","type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.3 -
