The EU is halfway there on electricity. Every nations needs to be on this trajectory while diving into electrification of heat, industry, and transport as well.
Solar leads EU electricity generation as renewables hit 54%
In Q2 2025, renewables powered 54% of EU electricity, with solar leading the mix and topping all sources in June for the first time.

China’s solar and wind generation grew 27% in the first half of 2025, contributing to a 2% decline in coal generation.
Combined with rapid electrification, China’s clean energy boom is rewiring the economy for deep decarbonisation

☀️ Big solar news from Sweden!
The country’s largest solar plant, the 100 MW Hultsfred Solar Farm, just went online. 🚀
Developed by Alight & Neoen, it’ll power up H&M Group with 95% of its clean energy output through a long-term deal.

Whether it is trying to bully us into buying crap American cars or lower our standards on climate reduction targets and keep buying gas and oil, no trade deal can force us as consumers to buy American crap.

The Danish government has announced a major cut in the electricity tax – from 72.7 øre/kWh to the EU minimum of just 0.8 øre/kWh in 2026 and 2027.
For households, this means significant savings:
A typical family: ~4,000 DKK less per year
Pensioner couples: ~2,700 DKK less per year

Europe to import $250 billion of US energy products per year under new Trump trade deal. *Total* EU-27 energy import now is ~€375 billion p.a. Even if the $250 billion of imports were technically possible, this would imply total EU energy dependence on the US.

Want mass heat pump adoption? Fix the running costs.
The electricity-to-gas price ratio is key. When policy makes electricity artificially expensive, the cleaner choice isn't the cheaper one. It's time to rebalance energy taxes, as this @thecccuk.bsky.social chart highlights.
