WindEnergy Hamburg drew more than 43,000 industry professionals from over a hundred countries, affirming the German port city’s place at the heart of global wind power. The event carried several concrete milestones that reflect the current state of the market. Among them was formal confirmation that global offshore wind has now reached 100 GW of […]

Kelag International has agreed to acquire eight agrivoltaic solar parks from developer JUWI, adding 64.4 MW of dual-use solar capacity in Italy. The sites are located predominantly in the northern regions of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, where farmland simultaneously supports traditional crop production and clean electricity generation. The purchase extends an existing cooperation between the two […]

The debate over what counts as American-made solar is sharpening around a technical detail most policymakers overlook: where exactly a silicon wafer’s most critical transformation takes place. Sekhar Tatineni, vice president of technology at ES Foundry, argues in an op-ed for PV Magazine USA that federal manufacturing incentives risk underwriting empty capacity — domestic facilities […]

Global battery energy storage deployment reached 20.9 GWh of newly commissioned capacity in August, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. China held the dominant position, claiming 61 percent of the monthly total, while the remaining 39 percent was distributed across other markets — a sign of expanding geographic reach. Europe stood out among non-Chinese regions. The […]

A coalition of corporate shippers has placed a 2,500-unit electric heavy-truck order that could nearly double the total number of Class 8 electric vehicles currently operating on American roads. The purchase moves through ZET SCALE, an initiative launched by Catalyst Mobility and Smart Freight Centre to break the demand fragmentation that has long slowed fleet […]

A utility that rarely hears no in its home state has just been refused. North Carolina’s state utilities commission rejected Duke Energy’s request to build a 255-megawatt turbine costing $584 million. The company argued the plant was needed mainly to serve fast-rising demand from new data centres. Commissioners, a majority of them Republican appointees, judged […]

Finland is moving to introduce a structured queue for grid connection, giving households and small consumers precedence over large industrial loads and standalone battery storage. The government has put forward amendments to the Finnish Electricity Market Act that would establish a tiered mechanism for allocating scarce network capacity among new consumers and storage operators — […]

On the evening of September 9, during an intense heat event, a coordinated network of residential battery systems delivered 580 megawatts simultaneously to California’s grid — a record output that exceeds what any typical gas peaker plant can produce. Those plants generally generate between 50 and 250 MW. The three-hour dispatch was organized by Sunrun […]

A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has sided against his own administration, halting the Environmental Protection Agency’s attempt to terminate Solar for All — a $7 billion initiative providing zero-emission energy technologies to low-income households. Judge Mary McElroy ruled that the EPA had no authority to cancel grants Congress had already formally committed. The […]

A radioactively contaminated territory that has barred residents and economic activity for four decades is being assessed for a new role: a renewable energy complex spanning solar, wind, battery storage, bioenergy, and hydrogen generation. Polish developer ELQ, its Ukrainian subsidiary, and Ukrainian authorities have signed a memorandum of understanding that lays out a framework for […]

Server farms running artificial-intelligence workloads are pushing electricity demand up sharply. A new industry grouping wants to flip that burden into a service: computing that dials its own consumption up and down on request. The AI Energy Management Alliance, or AEMA, was launched by Google, NVIDIA and the startup Emerald AI, with 18 further founding […]

Danish energy developer Ørsted has finished installing all sixty-five turbines at Revolution Wind, putting the project on track to reach its full 704 MW rated output later this year. The offshore wind farm has been delivering carbon-free electricity to two states since March, running at partial capacity throughout a drawn-out legal confrontation with federal authorities. […]

A second fire has broken out at the former Moss Landing battery storage facility in California, igniting during the dismantling of the last 5,000 modules still carrying residual charge. The blaze occurred as workers were in the process of removing equipment from the Vistra-operated site, according to Canary Media. When it opened in 2020, the […]

Tesla has cleared a significant local hurdle for a proposed $10.1 billion solar manufacturing complex in Texas, after the district school board voted unanimously 7-0 to approve a tax incentive agreement tied to the project, internally codenamed Project Crystal Sun. As PV Magazine describes it, the planned facility would cover the full production cycle — […]

European natural gas futures cleared a significant threshold in mid-September, with TTF October 2026 contracts reaching €82.52 per megawatt-hour — the first time prices had surpassed the €80 mark in three years. The move extended a sustained climb recorded through August and September. Starting from an average of €44.94/MWh in June, prices moved through successive […]

From Idea to Investment-Ready Project. This is where Zhytomyr sees one of the main values of ANEW-LIFE. Within the scope of the project, the city is working not only on identifying promising energy solutions. The next crucial stage is preparing the feasibility studies necessary for further implementation and securing funding. The experience of Zhytomyr, Nizhyn, […]

On September 17, Kyiv hosted another meeting of the Green Energy Club — a communication platform of Global 100 RE Ukraine that brings together Union Board members and invited green energy experts every month. This time, the focus was on the strategic development of the organization, opportunities for international cooperation and grant funding, as well […]

Mazama Energy has secured $135 million in fresh capital to advance its superhot geothermal project near Newberry volcano, which Canary Media describes as moving the approach into commercial-scale development. The company’s approach differs fundamentally from conventional geothermal power. Traditional plants tap natural hot-water reservoirs at roughly 200°C, while Mazama targets rock temperatures of around 400°C […]

Spain is introducing a capacity market alongside a substantially enlarged grid investment programme, combining two instruments designed to keep its electricity system reliable as renewables expand. The Ministry for Ecological Transition announced the market mechanism on September 16. Rather than rewarding only delivered electricity, the scheme pays generators and other providers for standing ready to […]

On September 9–10, Vienna hosted the General Assembly of the international project ANEW-LIFE, with Global 100 RE Ukraine participating as a project partner. The partners reviewed interim results and established priorities for the next phase: the practical preparation of energy projects in Zhytomyr, Kalush, and Nizhyn, the identification of effective financing models, and the scaling […]
