For the first time, renewable power plants produced more electricity than fossil fuels from October to March, according to Ember\u2019s latest report Weathering the Winter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Europe will be glad to put a difficult winter behind it, the measures taken should be learned from to inform the accelerating transition away from fossil fuels. Demand reductions that can be maintained sustainably should be, in order to reduce strain on grid infrastructure,\u201d Ember\u2019s analysis reads. The authors stressed demand flexibility as a critical future part of Europe\u2019s future power system, saying any gains made in recent months in this much-needed service should be evaluated, consolidated, and quickly built on. Most member states (23 out of 27) reduced their monthly electricity demand, but only three countries reached or exceeded the 10% target: Romania, Slovakia and Greece. The only countries to show an increase in electricity consumption were Poland, Denmark, Malta, and Ireland, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 18 countries in the EU that continue to use coal for power, 15 reduced coal generation over the winter 2021\/22 from the year before, the document showed. The only three to increase coal generation were Italy (26%), Finland (12%) and Hungary (3%). Coal and gas generation both decreased on an annual basis, by 27 TWh or 11% and 38 TWh (13%), respectively. The drop would have been higher if French nuclear plants had come back online as expected in January. However, the EU\u2019s nuclear power output was lower by 13% than one year before. Poland and Germany saw the largest year-on-year decrease in coal generation, according to Ember\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/balkangreenenergynews.com\/renewables-produced-more-electricity-than-fossil-fuels-for-first-time-over-winter-in-eu\/\">Balkan Green Energy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-349\/\">Renewables produced more electricity than fossil fuels for first time over winter in EU<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[836,575,274,1850],"class_list":["post-113869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-electricity","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-renewables"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113869\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
