The Ukrainian Solar Energy Association (ASEU) will hold an open online committee meeting on 15 October at 11:00, dedicated to the commercial prospects and hands-on deployment experience of battery energy storage systems (BESS). The session will run as an open Zoom conference conducted in Ukrainian. It is specifically intended for energy companies, investors, project developers, […]

France’s draft 2027 national budget puts three new policy instruments on the table for the country’s hydrogen sector, a package that industry group France Hydrogene has welcomed as a meaningful step toward building demand for renewable and low-carbon hydrogen. The most significant measure is IRICC, a carbon-intensity reduction mechanism for transport fuels that replaces the […]

Ukraine will receive $116 million from the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) to support decentralized power generation, grid infrastructure, and energy storage. The financing is expected to unlock an additional $693.8 million in co-investment from the World Bank, the EBRD, and private companies. The scale of the challenge is considerable: according to DixiGroup, Russia has destroyed, […]

Bulgaria’s National Electric Company (NEK) has issued a tender worth €350 million to construct a new dam at Yadenitza, a project that would more than triple the working water volume of the existing cascade and materially expand the country’s grid balancing capacity. Rather than building from scratch, NEK is scaling infrastructure that already operates at […]

Solar installations in the 1–5 megawatt range face a median wait of 45 months before receiving grid interconnection approval in the United States — more than twenty times longer than the roughly two months it takes for residential rooftop systems under 30 kilowatts, according to a new Berkeley Lab report. The study drew on 2.7 […]

For more than a year, Virginia residents have watched their utility bills climb as electricity-hungry data centers serving artificial intelligence have pushed demand sharply higher. Now the Spanberger administration has put forward a plan to reroute those costs, proposing that tech companies — not ordinary consumers — shoulder the bill for new carbon-free generation. The […]

The European Union covered 72% of its electricity needs with clean sources last year, managing to insulate prices from a gas-market surge — but Eurelectric’s Power Barometer 2026 warns that the shift is exposing a widening gap in the system’s ability to balance supply. Between February and August 2026, natural gas prices climbed 88.4%, yet […]

The European Commission is preparing to direct €1 billion toward cutting carbon emissions from industrial process heat, publishing final terms for a dedicated competitive auction set to launch in December. This is the second pan-European call under Brussels’ clean-technology innovation programme — and the first designed specifically to reward emissions reductions in industrial heat production. […]
