Renewables had not been expected to reach a share of half of power generation until the end of the decade, Ullbro said. -- In the UK, renewables now have a 43% share of generation. This is up 10% compared to the same 10 March to 10 April period in 2019. Coal power is down 35% and gas down 24%, according to the report.
In Germany, where the renewables market is already far more advanced, renewable energy now makes up 60% of the overall share, with coal genertion at 44%.
