... coal in the EU’s energy system is rolling back down. Nevertheless, coal remains an important energy source in some Eastern European economies – for example, in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Greece – where its share in generation remains high. Coal prices in the global market have shown moderate dynamics in recent months. Futures for energy coal ( API2 index ) are trading in the range of $110-120 per ton (Rotterdam port, end of July).

... rising by ~5–7% over the month) but significantly below prices a year ago (in summer 2024 coal was 15–20% more expensive).

Nevertheless, coal remains an important energy source for several Eastern European economies—such as Poland, the Czech Republic, and Greece—where its share in generation is still substantial.
