More than nine in ten large Chinese solar manufacturers are still operating at a loss, even after module prices rose between 10 and 30 percent, according to an International Energy Agency report cited by PV Magazine USA. The sector’s combined net losses widened from $4.4 billion in 2024 to nearly $5.5 billion the following year, […]

With Democrats set to hold a congressional majority when the new session opens in January, federal energy policy is expected to pivot toward domestic manufacturing incentives and tighter supply chain restrictions, according to PV Magazine USA. The most promising bipartisan vehicle for the solar industry is an extension of Section 45X tax credits, which currently […]

The Netherlands’ lower house of parliament has voted to require the government to draft a regulatory framework for balcony-mounted solar systems, with a deadline set for next spring. The move comes as an estimated 35% of Dutch households already operate rooftop solar installations, creating political and market momentum for smaller plug-in units that could benefit […]

A coordinated network of more than 140,000 residential battery systems delivered over 580 MW of peak output to support California’s power supply across a three-hour window of elevated demand in September 2026 — a performance comparable to a full-scale conventional power plant. The effort, a joint initiative by Sunrun and Tesla, showed that aggregated home […]

Ukraine’s Energy Efficiency Fund has received a 630-million-hryvnia capital contribution, with the funds already deposited into the Fund’s accounts, paving the way for a resumption of applications to its housing support programmes. The capital injection fulfils Step 10.17 of the Ukraine Facility Plan, which covers the country’s energy sector reform commitments under the EU support […]

Germany has awarded 5.16 gigawatts of long-term capacity contracts to gas generators, with battery storage systems shut out by technical thresholds that most projects cannot currently meet. The Federal Network Agency, Bundesnetzagentur, distributed the contracts under the first phase of the Power Supply Security Act, granting 15-year agreements at a weighted average rate of €155,296 […]

The Dutch government committed €783.5 million to green hydrogen development in 2022, awarding subsidies to seven electrolyzer projects with a combined target of 1,150 MW of capacity. Four years later, developers have abandoned four of those projects — covering 550 MW in total — and none of the remaining initiatives has reached commercial operation. Around […]

The seasonal gap in solar output is sharper than many homeowners expect. A 5.9 kW rooftop installation in Ukraine’s Odesa region can generate close to 900 kWh in peak summer but drops to roughly 130 kWh in December — a decline of 77 to 85 percent. Cold itself is not the culprit: panels actually convert […]

Greek energy group HELLENiQ ENERGY is making Romania a cornerstone of its clean-power expansion in Southeast Europe, unveiling plans for a renewables and storage portfolio of up to 1.3 gigawatts backed by more than one billion euros in investment. The company’s renewables arm, HELLENiQ Renewables, presented the program at a formal launch event in Bucharest. […]

Turkey has earned more than half a billion dollars from electricity exports as a sweeping build-out of renewable capacity transforms the country’s position in regional power markets. According to Ember, export revenues reached $359.1 million in 2025 — on shipments exceeding four terawatt-hours — with a further $166.4 million recorded through August 2026. Iraq and […]

A Bavarian electricity network company is deploying large-scale battery storage to sidestep a planned substation reinforcement, illustrating how flexibility assets can substitute for conventional grid investment. E.ON subsidiary Bayernwerk Netz is running a procurement for a 20 MW battery with a minimum capacity of 80 MWh to serve the Bayreuth area. The system will connect […]

Britain’s government has refused planning consent for one of the country’s largest proposed solar projects, citing an array of environmental, heritage and aviation concerns that it concluded outweighed the scheme’s energy benefits. Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh rejected Photovolt Development Partners’ application for a Development Consent Order for the Botley West solar farm in Oxfordshire, acting […]

Global 100 RE Ukraine has published an article outlining Odesa’s plans to build a combined heat and power (CHP) plant fueled by RDF and SRF — specially processed fuels derived from sorted municipal solid waste. The project’s preliminary cost is estimated at UAH 4.5 billion, with a waste sorting facility also planned adjacent to the […]

On 6 November, Global 100 RE Ukraine held a Board meeting in Kyiv to discuss the organisation’s key priorities for the coming period, strategic objectives and preparations for new initiatives. One of the central topics was the preparation of 100 gREen AWARDS 2026 — the annual recognition programme for implemented projects that demonstrate tangible results […]

The United States is on track to add more than one terawatt of new solar, wind and energy storage capacity between 2026 and 2036 — a build-out that would more than double the country’s combined fleet of those three technologies from its level at the end of 2025, according to a forecast by BloombergNEF. The […]

More than one hundred European companies from energy-intensive sectors have issued a joint letter warning that proposed changes to the EU’s emissions trading rules could speed up factory closures and the relocation of production beyond the bloc’s borders. Among the signatories are Covestro, Evonik, Wacker Chemie, Voestalpine, and Thyssenkrupp’s steel division. The companies argue that […]

Corporate power purchase agreements for renewable energy in Europe totalled 5.9 GW through October 2026, a 9.7% decline from the same stretch last year and on course for a second consecutive annual drop — even as Brussels adopted an electrification action plan that targets a doubling of the electrification rate, to 46%, by 2040. The […]

Ukraine has introduced a state-backed lending program that lets homeowners finance autonomous energy equipment while the government absorbs part of the cost. Launched through the єОпора platform under the “Energy Independence of Individuals” program, the scheme provides bank loans of up to 480,000 hryvnias repayable over as long as ten years. The instrument is credit […]
