Tesla’s energy division shipped 13.7 GWh of storage systems in the third quarter of 2026, a 10% increase compared with the previous quarter, yet revenue fell 16% to $2.88 billion. The company cited tariff-related customer refunds as a contributing factor in its investor letter, offering no detail on amounts or recipients. Gross profit for the […]

Solar Steelconstruction, a Ukrainian engineering and construction company, has completed a 120.78 MW utility-scale solar facility in Latvia on behalf of European renewable energy developer Green Genius. The project involved installing 183,000 photovoltaic modules on custom-fabricated steel mounting structures. The scale of the installation places it among the largest solar parks in the Baltic region. […]

A $265 million financing package will fund construction of a 1.2 GW solar farm paired with a 600 MWh battery system in Egypt’s Minya province — a scale that would make it the largest solar facility on the African continent. EBRD anchors the deal with $160 million in direct lending, joined by $75 million from […]

Energy services company Budderfly has unveiled a plan to modernize power infrastructure in roughly 100 small and mid-size American municipalities, with project costs recovered entirely from the energy savings generated — rather than from upfront municipal spending. The initiative, called Modernizing American Cities, was introduced at the annual conference of the International City/County Management Association. […]

After four years of pressure from environmental and labor organizations, New York State regulators have approved $111.5 million to fund the state’s first pilot thermal networks running on zero-carbon technology — an early proof-of-concept for a strategy that UpgradeNY coalition advocates hope will eventually shift entire neighborhoods away from fossil gas. The Public Service Commission […]

Legal pressure on US offshore wind has escalated well beyond permitting delays and tax credit rollbacks. The Department of Justice has begun filing court motions in support of wind energy opponents, asking federal judges to remand project permits back to regulators for additional review — including for facilities that already hold full federal licensing. The […]

A committee of France’s National Assembly has pushed back against a government plan that would have allowed early termination of green tariff contracts signed between 2006 and 2010, backing an amendment that would keep those agreements intact. The government had sought to save €120 million by modifying contracts covering solar and other renewable installations above […]

Twelve clean-technology initiatives have earned places in the 2025 Innovation Fund competition, collectively seeking close to €895 million in EU grants. Selection does not settle the final amounts: each project will enter individual negotiations with the executive agency CINEA before funding is formally confirmed. Battery manufacturing claims three of the twelve spots. In Spain, PowerCo […]

European manufacturers shipped €3.1 billion worth of wind turbines to markets outside the EU in 2025, while imports reached only €0.7 billion — meaning exports were more than four times the value of inbound equipment. The figures, published by Eurostat, place wind turbines at the top of the EU’s green-equipment export rankings for the year. […]

Vodafone Ukraine is installing solar panels at 400 additional base stations, which will bring the operator’s total solar-equipped sites to 500 — a fivefold increase. The expansion follows a pilot program of 100 micro-solar installations completed in June 2026 across 14 regions, the results of which prompted the decision to scale up, according to business […]

Long-term solar power purchase agreement prices in the United States increased 4.9% over the three summer months, with anticipated import tariffs emerging as the primary driver, according to analytics platform LevelTen Energy. The average solar PPA rate reached $64.23 per megawatt-hour — a 6% annual gain and 12.7% above Q3 2024 levels. Corporate buyers moved […]

Canada is stepping into offshore wind with a $100 million federal commitment to launch the Wind West initiative off Nova Scotia’s coast, according to CleanTechnica. The program’s first practical steps are scheduled for 2027, with $5 million set aside for measurement buoys to gather wind speed data ahead of an investor competition, and $3 million […]

Installing a heat pump can cut heating bills for the household that buys one — but researchers at RMI argue the benefits extend further, reaching customers who have no intention of electrifying their own heating at all. The explanation lies in grid economics rather than individual budgets. Power networks are typically engineered around summer air-conditioning […]

Rome’s national environment and energy authority — MASE — has signed off on eight unified construction permits covering more than 1.7 gigawatts of battery energy storage systems. Combined with 954 MW authorized in early October, the country’s total approved battery capacity for the month now approaches 2.7 GW. Four of the eight newly permitted projects […]

Danish energy company Ørsted has finished construction of the Iceni battery energy storage system near Norwich in Norfolk, England, marking the company’s first large battery project in the United Kingdom. The 300 MW, 600 MWh facility incorporates 170 Tesla Megapack units installed alongside the onshore infrastructure of the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm. Work began […]

Poland is rewriting the rules for home energy storage, with legislation passed by the Sejm set to take effect on December 1, 2026. Under the new framework, a residential battery’s installed power no longer counts against the microinstallation capacity limit — so long as its power rating does not exceed the paired solar array’s output […]

German distribution network operator Netze BW has put into commercial operation an automated grid-connection service for residential solar installations, cutting what previously required nearly two weeks of manual engineering review down to an instant digital decision for a significant share of applicants. Of more than 16,000 online applications received, over 5,000 households gained a legally […]

Ukraine has overhauled its renewable energy support framework after pilot state tenders in 2024 and 2025 drew insufficient investor interest, prompting lawmakers to convert the previous bilateral contract-for-difference into a one-way financial support mechanism under Law №4777. Two separate conditions had dampened developer appetite under the old rules: strict requirements for confirming project financing, and […]

A coalition of 270 signatories has called on the European Commission to preserve the existing RFNBO targets established under the RED III directive, pushing back against any relaxation of green hydrogen mandates. The joint letter was first submitted on 24 September. Since that date the coalition has expanded as new participants joined, bringing the total […]

Battery electric vehicles lost significant ground in the United States following the expiration of federal tax credits, with their share of new car sales falling from 10% to 6%. Conventional gasoline-electric hybrids — vehicles that do not charge from the grid — picked up much of that slack, reaching 16% of new vehicle sales in […]
