A missile strike on 19 July destroyed the Ukrainian logistics hub of Viessmann Climate Solutions Ukraine, incinerating the facility along with equipment prepared for reconstruction projects. Within two months the company had a new warehouse of approximately 1,000 square metres ready for opening at an alternative location — concrete shelters are currently being installed on […]

The Ukrainian Red Cross has transferred close to a thousand solar panels, totalling nearly 600 kW of capacity, to the Bucha community in Kyiv Oblast. The equipment will serve modular settlements in Bucha and Vorzel that house internally displaced persons, according to the Kyiv Regional Military Administration and the Bucha City Council. The humanitarian shipment […]

Google has struck a deal with demand-response aggregator Voltus to manage up to 1 gigawatt of flexible electricity load across the PJM Interconnection grid — a tenfold jump from the 100-megawatt pilot the company announced in June, according to Canary Media. Under the arrangement, Google will compensate households and businesses that voluntarily cut their consumption […]

Large-scale battery storage in the United States has become far safer over the past ten years, with incident frequency dropping by more than 97% between 2016 and 2025 even as installed capacity grew 250-fold, according to an EPRI report reviewed by Canary Media. Three of those ten years recorded zero incidents at all. The improvement […]

The German operation of home battery company sonnen has filed for insolvency, just two months after oil major Shell sold the business to investment group TIVEN. Management at sonnen GmbH confirmed the filing and notified around 400 employees at the company’s facility in Wildpoldsried, Bavaria. The company says it intends to continue servicing more than […]

Britain’s retired power stations are proving most valuable not for their land, but for the substations and high-voltage cables they left behind — infrastructure that lets renewable developers bypass a grid-connection queue that once stretched well beyond 700 GW. At West Burton, on the banks of the River Trent, the cooling towers have gone cold. […]

A Japanese corporation has begun shipping its first perovskite solar glass modules to customers from pilot facilities in Moriguchi, more than two years before planned mass production is set to begin at its Nagahama plant in April 2029. The early commercial launch, which started in September 2026, aims to accelerate market entry while serial manufacturing […]

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 […]
