Solar out-performed coal last week

Over the weekend, solar power generated electricity out-did coal powered electricity for the first time ever.

It happened late Sunday afternoon - when coal hit 9,315MW, and solar provided the dominant share of electricity with 9,427MW.

While this is exciting news, we’re still a far way from being entirely supported by renewable energy sources - the crossover point only lasted a few minutes, due to low demand and sunny skies.
