The Ukrainian Solar Energy Association (ASEU) and the Confederation of Builders have jointly announced a webinar aimed at helping developers and business representatives cut electricity costs and strengthen energy independence through on-site solar generation. The online event is scheduled for 8 September 2026 at 14:00 on Zoom. The programme is divided into two parts. In […]

The United States is on course to add a record 45 gigawatts of clean energy capacity this year — roughly a quarter more than the previous high, set in 2024 — even as the Trump administration pursues an aggressive campaign to curtail new projects and reverse decarbonization policy. The federal government has been especially hostile […]

Moldova has overhauled its permitting rules for clean energy installations, removing a significant bureaucratic hurdle for homeowners, residential building associations, and businesses looking to deploy solar panels, heat pumps, and battery storage systems. Under the previous framework, owners of small-scale generation systems had to obtain both a construction permit and an urban planning certificate before […]

A Swiss data center campus is set to host the biggest vanadium flow battery installation ever built, pushing long-duration storage technology into a market long dominated by Chinese projects. British-Canadian manufacturer Invinity Energy Systems has signed a construction contract with Equans Switzerland to deliver a modular system at FlexBase’s Laufenberg Technology Center in Laufenburg. The […]

Low Carbon’s Beacon Fen Energy Park has cleared the UK’s nationally significant infrastructure projects planning process, with the government approving a hybrid facility that will pair 400 MW of solar capacity with a 600 MW battery system. Both the solar and storage elements are designed to share a single grid connection at the Bicker Fen […]

Austria is overhauling its renewable energy support framework, shifting the emphasis from adding new solar panels to managing when that electricity is actually used. The Economy and Energy Ministry has announced that starting next year, subsidies will prioritize battery storage and intelligent energy management systems over basic photovoltaic installations. The policy shift follows a stark […]

A $500 million federal grant originally awarded to decarbonize a Cleveland-Cliffs steelworks in Middletown, Ohio will instead be used to renovate and prolong the life of the plant’s coal-fired blast furnace, the U.S. Department of Energy has confirmed. The original project envisioned retiring a 73-year-old blast furnace and replacing it with hydrogen-ready technology and electric […]

Greek banks are escalating warnings to photovoltaic plant operators over missed loan obligations, as the gap between projected and actual revenues continues to widen across the sector. Mandatory curtailments and softer wholesale electricity prices have eroded the cash flows that underpinned financing agreements struck during Greece’s solar expansion years, raising the prospect of widespread non-performing […]

Europe’s long-term renewable energy contract market recorded 24 new deals totalling 1.1 GW in July, alongside nine agreements in the battery storage sector, according to data from consultancy Pexapark. The Euro Composite base index reached €45 per megawatt-hour overall, yet that headline figure conceals a clear regional split in pricing trends. The United Kingdom and […]

Ukraine’s Bioenergy Association (UABIO) has published a detailed report, produced under the Innovate Ukraine project, setting out the business models and legal conditions required for the country to begin exporting biomethane to Europe. The document addresses producers, investors, and government bodies alike. Ukraine’s biogas sector carries substantial energy potential — estimated at 21.8 billion cubic […]

Tesla has stopped accepting orders for its Solar Roof product, according to two sources who spoke with Electrek. The company notified its network of certified contractors of the decision, and the tile offering has since been removed from the website’s navigation menu, which now features only conventional solar panels and the Powerwall and Megapack storage […]

Poland built public demand for hydrogen transport — then watched its largest private energy company conclude the supply side did not add up commercially. The government’s rationale was to create an ecosystem: subsidies helping municipalities buy hydrogen buses would guarantee a stable customer base for fuel producers and refueling operators. By April 2026, Poland had […]

Europe installed 36 GWh of new battery storage capacity over the past year, a 48% increase that pushed the continent’s cumulative total above 100 GWh for the first time, according to a SolarPower Europe report. Utility-scale projects were the primary engine of that growth. Germany held its lead with 6.6 GWh of new capacity, despite […]

Agrivoltaics — the simultaneous use of land for solar electricity generation and crop production — remains at an early stage in Ukraine, even as domestic farms increasingly install solar panels and storage systems for their own operational needs. Unlocking the full dual-use model requires clearing a series of regulatory and legislative hurdles that currently deter […]

A Norwegian industrial facility has cleared the European Union’s certification process for renewable hydrogen, becoming the first site in the country to earn that status — and offering the wider industry its clearest proof yet that the bloc’s demanding requirements are workable in practice. Hellesylt Hydrogen Hub, operated by Norwegian Hydrogen, received an RFNBO certificate […]

The head of Danish offshore wind developer Orsted has openly acknowledged that the company pursued growth targets at the expense of financial discipline in the United States, a strategic error that has weighed on the business for several years. Rasmus Errboe, who took the chief executive role in January 2025, said on the In Good […]

Vestas’s EnVentus onshore wind platform now has more than 15 gigawatts of installed capacity and over 2,500 turbines operating across 26 countries, industry publication reNews reports. The Danish manufacturer’s confirmed orderbook for the platform has surpassed 24 gigawatts. Recent deployment milestones include the installation of the platform’s first turbine in Chile and the completion of […]

High-voltage direct current transmission has crossed a threshold. Once a specialist tool reserved for submarine links and intricate grid challenges, HVDC has become a standard option for designing major transmission corridors — and that shift has exposed a new set of obstacles. Equipment manufacturers have largely kept pace. Europe has coalesced around a standardized 2 […]

New debt financing for US clean energy, manufacturing and clean fuel projects climbed 12% in the first half of 2026, reaching $59 billion — up from a $53 billion tally posted across the prior six-month period. Full-year lending is now on track to total $143 billion by December, a 19% rise over the 2025 annual […]

Europe’s persistently turbulent gas markets are reshaping the investment case for battery energy storage, with new analysis from Aurora Energy Research projecting internal rates of return of 12% annually for standalone battery projects in Greece. The consultancy’s modelling shows that two-hour storage systems commissioned in 2027 are expected to outperform projects brought online in 2030 […]
