Good morning with good news: Poland's RE passed coal for the first time in June, generating 44.1% of Poland’s electricity, with coal falling to 43.7%

Coal fell to 46.2% in Q2 2025 from 56.4% in Q2 2024.

Wind & solar surged to ~39% in 6/2025 from 28% in 6/2024!

One of the most under-reported stories out there. The US auto industry is being left far behind.

July 2029? Is that correct?

If so, why so long? Why not July 2026?

A remarkable week for renewable energy records across US grids.

Crazy - Wales already produces 2x the electricity that it consumes.

The rest heads over into England.

Maybe a great spot for future datacenters.

1) The records keep falling on the California grid @californiaiso.bsky.social .

New renewables peak record - 29,040 MW at 3:10 PM on Thursday.

Notes:
- Demand at 3:10 pm was only 25,992 MW.
- Two years ago, the record was only 23,457 MW

Inside the US power struggle over coal Does the grid really need old coal-fired power plants to stay open?

🔌💡 #Coal used to be the cheapest form of #electricity generation in the U.S., but now it is cheaper to build new #renewables capacity than to keep existing coal plants running.

BNEF takes the under on US data center load growth (43.5GW of new capacity by 2035) due to "real-world constraints like interconnection delays and build timelines" - underscoring market opportunity for faster connection via flexibility. 🔌💡

Interesting things are happening in US coal markets right now. Overall, production is up slightly in the first quarter while employment is still trending downward: www.spglobal.com/market-intel...

Big jump in renewable generation record for ERCOT yesterday.

Renewable generation went over 43GW for the first time - hitting 43,208 MW - representing about 58% of total output.

This record has increased by 13 GW in just three years!

Eric - Nice !

A suggestion to make chart easier to read...

Can you tie the legend to when the models were released?

You have - dark blue image classification first but next would be light pink - VQA, followed by Squad 2.0 ( I think) etc...

Also, any reason SWE is not on the chart?

CAISO set a new Renewables peak generation record yesterday at 28,242 MW at 1:05 PM.

The load at this time was only 21 GW, so this record would not have been possible without recent growth in battery capacity.

Battery discharge over 10GW on CAISO. Nice.

It will be interesting to see if future capacity continues to move towards peak and/or spreads out the discharge to more than four hours.

Surprised at this chart, but not.

Was recently in Munich, and there were many Teslas floating around. Quite a few actually. There’s a Tesla factory in Germany.

Yet no Tesla breaks the top 20 in the whole country last month, or the past three months.

Elon really burnt this company’s image down.

Canada’s 1 GWh battery delivered ahead of schedule, below budget - Energy Storage The Oneida project is the largest battery energy storage facility in operation in Canada.

How often do your projects finish nine figures under the projected bid?

“project was completed for approximately $700 million, well below the original estimate of $800 million at the time of financial close in 2023”

Probably due to significant drop in cost of battery systems.

ERCOT set a new solar peak generation #record yesterday - 27,036 MW.

Thanks to @gridstatus.io for info.

Below is a chart showing annual peak generation milestones for the Texas grid.

The peak generation record should hit 30,000 MW later this year.

Perhaps 50,000 MW before 2030?!
