EUROPE’S top coal-fired electricity producer cleaned up its power generation act during the first half of 2024, lifting clean electricity generation by more than 25% from the first half of 2024 and cutting fossil fuel-fired output by 9%.

Clean power also registered its highest ever share of Turkiye’s generation mix during the January to June period, supplying 53% of all electricity compared to 44% for the same months in 2023, data from energy think tank Ember shows.
