Coal generation fell 1% year on year, while gas fell 4%.
In fact, coal generation fell 1% year on year, while gas fell 4%.
The wind and solar capacity added in 2025 alone is generating roughly twice as much electricity as all the LNG that passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the closure.
And this is why a widespread return to coal is not a thing.

Maine’s plug-in solar law takes effect in July and some companies are already selling products in the state
When it takes effect, the law will allow a homeowner or renter to connect a single portable solar device with 420 watts or less of power output, or work with a certified electrician to connect a device of up to 1,200 watts output.

NEW | Cheap battery storage means solar can now economically meet up to 90% of India’s electricity demand
NEW | Cheap battery storage means solar can now economically meet up to 90% of India’s electricity demand
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can turn solar into round-the-clock power by storing excess daytime generation for use after sunset. The main challenge is no longer battery capacity to bring solar into the night but extended periods of low solar output, especially during the monsoon.
🇮🇳 Ember’s modelling shows that solar paired with batteries could deliver electricity at a levelised cost of INR 5.06/kWh – lower than the average power purchase cost in most Indian states and “even rivalling coal in terms of availability” notes Ember’s Duttatreya Das.
“From here, the economics only becomes more compelling,” adds Duttatreya.
“For solar-rich countries like India, this makes the case for becoming a global solar superpower. The question is no longer whether solar can power India’s electricity system, but how quickly it can scale,” says report author Kostantsa Rangelova.
