We all need electricity to go about our daily lives – whether it’s to charge our phones, turn the lights on when it’s dark, or cook a meal.
Electricity has in the past been mostly made using fossil fuels such as coal.
Coal was still the world’s largest individual source of energy generation in 2024, a position it has held for more than 50 years, according to the International Energy Agency.
But for the first time ever, renewable energy sources, like wind, are making more electricity than coal around the world.
This is according to an organisation that looks at energy around the world called Ember.
It has predicted this will happen for a while, and now, it finally has.
However, Ember says it is a mixed global picture with some countries using fewer renewable electricity sources than others.
