For the first time in history, solar power and wind power have combined for more electricity generation than fossil fuels in the EU. Last month, the two core renewables of the new clean energy era achieved that historic crossover point.
solar power provided a record 14% of the EU’s electricity, from a record 27
TWh. That May total even beats the solar record set in the middle of summer, July, last year.
This is also the first time that solar electricity beat coal electricity — 14%
versus 10%.
Wind power provided 17% (32 TWh) of the EU’s electricity in May. Clearly, that
beats both of those other sources, but it’s not wind power’s record. Wind
power’s best month ever was 23% (54 TWh).
“The strong performance of wind and solar meant that EU coal generation fell
to an all-time monthly low in May, with just 10% (20 TWh) of EU electricity coming from the most polluting source,” Ember writes. “The record-low coal
generation in May was just below the previous record set during the pandemic lockdowns, when coal power generated slightly above 10% of EU electricity in April 2020. Fossil gas recorded the lowest share of generation since 2018 at just 15% of EU electricity during May.

Running with reduced efficiency is not the same as failing. As I type this (~2pm), solar is currently producing an estimated ~27% of the UK's electricity.

(you will likely see different figures depending on when you check
this)
The reason they are putting coal on standby is that it's probably the cheapest way of covering the increased demand caused by air
conditioning and fans, etc. There is still spare capacity on the
French interconnector.
