The use of coal and gas to generate energy has increased sharply due to falling hydro lake levels. Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment data from April to June shows that coal produced 883 gigawatt hours of electricity. That's a more than a 500% increase on the same time last year, and it’s the first time since 2021 that coal produced more electricity than wind. Low hydro lake levels mean electricity generated from renewable sources dropped to 81% of total generation, an 8.6% drop
