“Is the green transformation of a community possible without a municipal energy plan? It is—but it will be fragmented.” This is how Olena Pavlenko, President of DiXi Group, explains it. When a community implements isolated energy solutions without a single strategic vision, the result may resemble the piecemeal thermal insulation of a building: different solutions […]

Wind Parks of Ukraine is pushing forward with new capacity even after the conflict destroyed one of its wind facilities in Kramatorsk, illustrating how the country’s renewable sector is adapting rather than retreating. The company already runs 80.8 MW of turbines at Nyzhni Vorota in the Zakarpattia region and is breaking ground on approximately 70 […]

Shell has offloaded Sonnen, the German home battery manufacturer it acquired in 2019 for close to €500 million, to Munich-based investment firm Tiven.

Thyssenkrupp Rasselstein, the sole producer of white tinplate in Germany, has agreed to build an 8 MW solar facility at its Andernach plant under a long-term power purchase agreement, with generation scheduled to begin in mid-2027. The installation will cover 5.2 hectares of the existing industrial site — roughly seven football pitches — and is […]

Industrial gas giant Air Products has agreed a long-term supply contract with Dutch chemicals company Nobian, securing offtake from what is currently Europe’s largest certified renewable hydrogen facility. The Rotterdam plant, operated by Nobian, produces hydrogen through a chlor-alkali electrolysis process powered entirely by renewable electricity. In 2025 it became the first large-scale European facility […]

President Donald Trump has signed an emergency executive order targeting imports of critical electricity infrastructure components from countries subject to US arms embargoes or sanctions, with China as the primary focus. The measure extends earlier Federal Communications Commission restrictions on foreign-made inverters to cover high-voltage transformers and grid-scale stationary storage units, along with other equipment. […]

Solar power crossed a significant milestone in the first half of 2026, supplying more than one tenth of global electricity consumption — yet the same period highlights the technology’s structural limitation. Analytics firm Ember found that solar plants met over a quarter of worldwide demand between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., while contributing virtually nothing […]
