"It’s a milestone moment that shows just how much clean energy has matured in a short amount of time — and a lot more growth is on the way."
"April 2026: Remember the date for the energy-transition history books.
It’s the first month when wind and solar combined to produce more electricity than natural gas did, per new global data from energy think tank Ember.
Just five years ago, the gap between what those renewable resources and gas generated was huge. Even in the best month for renewables, gas plants churned out about twice as much power. Now, the picture is very different: Wind and solar generated about 532 terawatt-hours of electricity worldwide last month, while gas contributed just 477 TWh.
This won’t be the first time wind and solar outcompete gas on the global stage."
