3 more closures happened in Poland: Poznan, Lodz 3 & Lodz 4.
Poznan was the last coal plant in #GreaterPoland without a closure date, making it the first region in the country to be on track for a Paris Agreement-compatible #coal phase-out!
🇵🇱 #BeyondCoal is coming

Lastly: Denmark's last coal-fired Combined Heat & Power plant, Nordjylland (which had no end date in our database), is scheduled for closure by 2028.
With the two remaining CHPs scheduled to close even earlier, 🇩🇰’s national coal phase-out will be completed 2 years early!

How about starting to separate closed and announced to close? A coal plant running for another 7-8 year doesn't make anyone happy. Closed plants makes us happy.
