In a new interview on 100GREEN with Nataliia Kholodova, Programme Manager at the NGO “Ecoclub“, we discuss the practical side of the green transition for Ukrainian hromadas (municipalities) — from comprehensive planning and project preparation to heat pumps, solar generation, active consumers, and scalable solutions for all of Ukraine. As Nataliia Kholodova emphasizes, one of […]

CATL used IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, to unveil TECTRANS II, a second-generation battery platform developed specifically for heavy commercial vehicles. The launch targets technical barriers that have held back electrification of long-haul freight. At the centre of the platform is a modular architecture built around standardized battery packs that can be flexibly configured […]

El Niño-driven weather variability is disrupting solar power generation around the world, pushing developers and investors to overhaul the financial models behind long-term projects. El Niño impact on insolation levels in key solar hubs. Source: Global Solar Report Solar developers have relied on historical irradiance data for years, but shifting climate patterns are making those […]

At a time when many US climate programmes are absorbing budget cuts, geothermal energy has bucked the trend. The Department of Energy has announced a $99 million funding round for next-generation geothermal systems — a bet the administration frames as investing in reliable baseload power that could eventually stand without recurring subsidy cycles. The funding […]

A municipal heat plant in Gislaved, Sweden, has evolved from a straightforward biomass boiler into a local energy resilience hub — without constructing an entirely new power station. The 2025 expansion added a second turbine and a battery storage system, building on equipment that operator Gislaved Energi has run since 2021. The facility has relied […]

Volvo has claimed its eighth International Truck of the Year title, but with a historic distinction: every model in the winning lineup runs on batteries, with no combustion engine among them. The 2027 award was presented at IAA Transportation in Hanover and went to the entire electric range — the FH, FM, FMX, and the […]

New 15% Section 232 tariffs are poised to deliver a sharp price shock to America’s solar industry. Imported solar modules, which were trading at roughly 27 cents per watt before August announcements, have already climbed to 38 cents at suppliers that have updated their price lists, according to analytics platform Anza. For shipments arriving after […]

Europe is sitting on a straightforward fix to its 1,700 GW backlog of stalled renewable projects: let solar and wind farms share existing grid connection points. The technical case is solid — solar peaks during daytime and summer, wind tends to dominate at night and in winter, so combining them at a single interconnection point […]

Ukrainian energy company DTEK has secured an €85 million loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to build battery energy storage systems (BESS) that will help stabilise the country’s war-strained power grid. The funds will finance storage capacity designed to absorb electricity during off-peak periods and release it when demand surges, boosting grid […]

Security concerns over critical energy infrastructure are beginning to harden into regulatory action across Europe, with Chinese solar inverters increasingly under scrutiny. Pascal de Boer, General Manager of SolarEdge Europe — whose company stands to gain from tighter restrictions — says governments are drawing on a logic similar to what drove early 5G technology policy. […]

Mingyang’s OceanX floating wind platform — a twin-rotor, downwind design — has released measurement data from its encounter with Supertyphoon Yagi, offering the clearest look yet at how the unconventional architecture behaves under extreme conditions. Conventional offshore wind has long avoided placing rotors downwind of the support structure, because blades passing repeatedly through the turbulent […]
