The renewable energy sector is projected to generate more electricity than coal during the month of April, according to a recent report published by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. That's never happened before. Coal, long the king of the power sector, has already been dethroned by natural gas, a much cleaner burning fossil fuel. Now, coal is facing intensifying pressure from wind and solar power.
39-year low in coal consumptionThe clean energy transition is accelerating.Renewable energy is projected to be the fastest-growing source for power generation for at least the next two years, according to EIA numbers published earlier this year. Coal, on the other hand, continues to rapidly decline. Coal's share of total power generation tumbled from 45% in 2010 to 28% in 2018. And it's expected to dip to just 24% in 2020.
