Energy company Moeve and steel giant ArcelorMittal are establishing a jointly owned innovation platform under the Green Molecules to Green Steel alliance, directing shared research capacity toward low-carbon energy carriers for the European steel industry. The 50/50 venture will bring together both companies’ research centres to develop and scale solutions built around biogas, biomethane, renewable […]

Electric vehicle sales in August revealed a widening regional divide, with Europe and North America moving in sharply opposite directions while China extended its dominance, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data. European buyers purchased roughly 380,000 electric vehicles during the month — a 36 percent increase on the same period a year earlier. Continuing state […]

Ukraine’s energy regulator has introduced a new billing mechanism for residential solar panel owners that limits compensation during nighttime hours and for electricity exported above a permitted hourly threshold. Under the decision by the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities (NCRECU), households will receive the lower of two values for power fed […]

Some 170 companies investing in Europe’s energy sector have urged EU leadership to preserve mandatory renewable hydrogen targets beyond 2030, warning that weakening the binding requirements embedded in the RED III directive would destabilise the investment environment the sector has carefully built. In a joint letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, business […]

America’s clean energy workforce shrank for the first time since the post-COVID recovery period, shedding nearly 37,000 jobs over the past year. According to E2’s Clean Jobs America 2026 report, the reversal follows the federal government’s withdrawal of support for clean energy. The losses end four consecutive years of strong growth. Losses touched virtually every […]

Ukraine’s solar sector brought its scale and policy priorities to a European audience on 17 September, when Vladyslav Sokolovsky, head of the Ukrainian Solar Energy Association (USEA), addressed an international SolarPower Europe webinar attended by European business representatives, Germany’s BSW Solar association, and EU institutions. Despite generating capacity losses exceeding 27 GW, the country’s solar […]

Construction has begun on what is set to become Poland’s largest battery storage facility — a 600 MW, 2.4 GWh project in Siedlce being developed by Greenvolt Power with construction contractors P&Q and ONDE, and commercial operations targeted for late 2027. Equipment will be supplied by BYD. The project’s economics rest on a 17-year capacity […]

Nvidia has introduced a dedicated energy storage certification scheme for its AI infrastructure buildout, selecting three vendors in the programme’s opening phase. Known as DSX Ready, the programme certifies products that meet category-specific qualification requirements for AI factory infrastructure. The first certification tier focuses on battery energy storage and liquid cooling systems. Three suppliers qualified: […]

Spain’s Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO) has launched a two-week public consultation on how to distribute up to 11 gigawatts of grid capacity earmarked for renewable energy and storage projects in just transition zones. The proposed framework splits the quota between two tracks. Fifteen designated nodes — spread across northern and southern Spanish provinces — […]

The world’s largest wind energy trade fair, WindEnergy Hamburg, drew more than 43,000 attendees from over a hundred countries this year — convening at a landmark moment for the industry. According to the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA), offshore wind globally surpassed 100 gigawatts of installed capacity for the first time ever. At the opening […]

Austrian energy company Kelag has purchased a portfolio of eight solar parks in Italy with a combined planned capacity of 64.4 megawatts, deepening its push into Southern European renewables through a format that combines agriculture and power generation on the same land. The sites are located primarily in Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, two of northern Italy’s […]

Federal incentives designed to grow American solar manufacturing may inadvertently treat finishing operations on par with fully domestic production, according to a technology executive in the industry. Sekhar Tatineni, vice president of technology at ES Foundry, made the argument in an op-ed published by PV Magazine USA. The concern centers on a technical distinction that […]

The world added 20.9 GWh (6,516 MW) of battery storage in August, bringing the year-to-date total to 177 GWh — a 35 percent increase over the same stretch last year, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence data. China accounted for 12,757 MWh of August’s figure, cementing its absolute dominance of the global market. The month’s largest […]

A newly formed corporate coalition has placed an order for 2,500 Class 8 electric heavy-duty trucks — a volume large enough to nearly double the total number of such vehicles currently operating on US roads. The initiative, called ZET SCALE, was launched by Catalyst Mobility and Smart Freight Centre. Among its first corporate shippers are […]

Energy Vault’s gravity-based storage facility in Rudong, China, has failed to match the economics of lithium-ion batteries even under near-ideal conditions, according to an assessment by TFIE Strategy Briefing and CleanTechnica analysts. The tower stands roughly 148 metres tall and uses more than 12,000 mineral-composite blocks weighing 25 tonnes each, raised and lowered by 96 […]

Denmark’s wind farms briefly covered the country’s entire domestic electricity demand during the early hours of last Friday, with a 40 percent surplus channeled into interconnectors serving neighboring markets — a fleeting milestone that the Danish Energy Agency wants to make routine. The agency is drawing up plans for two offshore “energy islands,” one in […]

Three territorial communities across Ukraine have completed small-scale renewable energy installations aimed at keeping critical infrastructure operational when the national grid fails. The projects — in Slobozhanska, Drohobytska and Selidivska communities — emerged from a competitive grant programme organised by civil-society organisations Ecodia and LOPTS Alternatyva with support from the UK government. Each winning community […]

Rapidly scaling up electric vehicles across the European Union could reduce the transport sector’s dependence on imported energy by roughly 25 percent within the next fifteen years, according to an assessment by Transport & Environment. The finding reframes electrification not just as a climate measure but as a concrete tool for economic resilience. What sets […]

European Union nations brought 33.8 gigawatts of new solar capacity online in the first six months of 2026, edging past the 33.2 GW recorded in the same period a year earlier, according to SolarPower Europe. The result keeps the bloc on a trajectory toward roughly 68.1 GW for the full year — though that figure […]
