Sydney, Australia (AFP) – Coal generated less than 50 percent of Australia’s electricity in the last week of August, dropping to a record low as renewable production surged, data showed Wednesday.

According to market monitor Open-NEM, coal generated 49.1 percent of the country’s electricity, while renewables accounted for 48.7 percent as storms boosted wind production.
