This report by Ember analyzes the UK's transition away from coal power, concluding that the country can achieve its 2025 coal phase-out without the construction of new large gas-fired power plants. The analysis suggests that renewables, interconnectors, and small-scale technology will replace coal capacity, allowing the UK to bypass a 'gas bridge' to clean power.

This report by Ember provides an interim analysis of 15 draft National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) from EU Member States, focusing on the power sector transition. It finds that while wind and solar capacity targets have increased significantly since 2019, they still fall short of REPowerEU goals. The analysis highlights a critical lack of quantified targets for electricity storage and flexibility, as well as poor data quality and transparency across the submitted plans.
