Do you remember 2016? We do. Pokémon Go, Beyonce’s Lemonade, Snapchat.
More importantly, since 2016:
💪 25 🇪🇺 countries have announced coal phaseouts❗
💪 61% of coal plants across the continent have shut down❗
Geopolitical tensions might be high, but it's important to remember how far we've come.
Unlocking power system flexibility is critical to expanding renewable energy.
New CTC analysis explores the near-term role of coal flexibility under strict guardrails, in order to make space for the next wave of clean power.
