An interesting graph from Ember via the Guardian:

‘Rising star’: EU made more electricity from solar than coal in 2024 | Europe | The Guardian

New gas powered 5 mW generators have been installed locally, as a backup in case the renewable generation isn’t sufficient.

It is a pity it is not a storage facility and makes more use of the scarce gas supply. I presume that this is an open cycle gas turbine, so not the most efficient.
