The findings, published by energy think tank Ember, suggest Europe weathered a "triple crisis" in the energy sector last year, as the industry faced soaring costs, a scramble to wean the continent off Russian gas supplies, and the lowest levels of hydro and nuclear generation in two decades. Any fears of a coal rebound are now dead."
