It is not accelerating conversion to renewables now. In fact coal is never been used so much in Europe. The idea of transforming into a full renewable energy society is seen way too opportunistic.

Carbon emissions in the EU haven’t been so low for 30 years, according to the latest CREA analysis [1]

It looks to them like a price-driven transition and if you are a market forces kind of person, the investments in renewables are already following the market pricing structure.

Europe is using coal to cover a current gap. It is not building new coal to cover future gaps. That's what is being said.
