Greece’s electricity transmission operator IPTO has unveiled a ten-year development programme covering 2027 to 2036 that lifts its capital commitment to €9 billion — a €2 billion increase over the equivalent plan from the previous year. Roughly 80 percent of that spending is targeted for deployment before 2030. The central goal is connecting more than […]

Two pieces of California legislation could cut up to $1,000 from the cost of installing residential heat pumps, solar panels, or battery storage — but only if Governor Gavin Newsom signs both bills before September 30. The timing is pointed. Congress and the Trump administration repealed federal tax credits for home clean energy equipment last […]

Roughly 1,700 gigawatts of renewable capacity sit waiting for grid connections across sixteen EU member states and the United Kingdom — a backlog more than six times Germany’s entire installed generation. Hybrid plants that pair wind and solar at a single connection point could absorb much of that queue without building new transmission lines, yet […]

Geothermal power is gaining unusual momentum in Washington. The Trump administration has made the sector a quiet priority under its energy dominance agenda, and the industry is beginning to show concrete signs of growth — even as it remains a marginal source, accounting for just one percent of total US electricity generation capacity. Energy Secretary […]

A drone strike on Saudi pipeline infrastructure that circumvents the Strait of Hormuz pulled roughly five million barrels per day from global supply — about five percent of the world total — and sent Brent crude past $104 a barrel. The episode has renewed a broader argument in energy circles: that electric vehicles and rooftop […]

The United States Department of Commerce has set final anti-dumping and countervailing duty rates on solar modules from three Asian countries, concluding the so-called Solar IV trade investigation launched by the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing. Under the determinations, Indian producers face anti-dumping duties of 123.04% and countervailing duties of 126.09%. Indonesian manufacturers are subject […]

Energy firm Moeve and steelmaking giant ArcelorMittal have agreed to establish an equal-ownership joint platform dedicated to developing and commercialising green-molecule energy solutions, including renewable hydrogen, biomethane and biofuels, as substitutes for fossil fuels in steel production. Operating under the Green Molecules to Green Steel alliance, the venture will be anchored by a shared innovation […]

Global electric vehicle sales grew by just 2 percent in August 2026, reaching 1.83 million units — a modest headline that conceals sharply diverging regional trajectories, according to data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence cited by Electrek. Europe was the standout performer. Around 380,000 electric cars changed hands in August, a 36 percent gain year on […]

Energy Vault’s gravity-based storage facility in Rudong, China, has failed to match the economics of lithium-ion batteries even under near-ideal conditions, according to an assessment by TFIE Strategy Briefing and CleanTechnica analysts. The tower stands roughly 148 metres tall and uses more than 12,000 mineral-composite blocks weighing 25 tonnes each, raised and lowered by 96 […]

Denmark’s wind farms briefly covered the country’s entire domestic electricity demand during the early hours of last Friday, with a 40 percent surplus channeled into interconnectors serving neighboring markets — a fleeting milestone that the Danish Energy Agency wants to make routine. The agency is drawing up plans for two offshore “energy islands,” one in […]

Three territorial communities across Ukraine have completed small-scale renewable energy installations aimed at keeping critical infrastructure operational when the national grid fails. The projects — in Slobozhanska, Drohobytska and Selidivska communities — emerged from a competitive grant programme organised by civil-society organisations Ecodia and LOPTS Alternatyva with support from the UK government. Each winning community […]

Rapidly scaling up electric vehicles across the European Union could reduce the transport sector’s dependence on imported energy by roughly 25 percent within the next fifteen years, according to an assessment by Transport & Environment. The finding reframes electrification not just as a climate measure but as a concrete tool for economic resilience. What sets […]

European Union nations brought 33.8 gigawatts of new solar capacity online in the first six months of 2026, edging past the 33.2 GW recorded in the same period a year earlier, according to SolarPower Europe. The result keeps the bloc on a trajectory toward roughly 68.1 GW for the full year — though that figure […]

Ukrainian energy trader D.Trading, part of the DTEK holding, has signed a partnership with Finnish technology firm Capalo AI to give battery energy storage developers a more predictable long-term income on European power markets. The agreement was announced on 8 September. The structure divides responsibilities along two clear lines. D.Trading will act as the power […]

Britain’s solar sector delivered its strongest summer on record in 2026, with generation climbing 23% year-on-year as an extraordinary streak of hot, sun-filled weeks reshaped the country’s electricity mix. According to Carbon Brief, solar farms and rooftop installations combined produced twice the electricity over the summer months that they had in the same period in […]

Three utility-scale solar developments in North Carolina and Texas are set to receive domestically produced modules under a new supply agreement with Inox Solar Americas, an American manufacturer of solar modules and cells. The contract covers projects rated at 71 MW, 102 MW, and 594 MW, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2027. All three […]

Electronics manufacturing giant Flex has announced its intention to acquire EPC Power, a California company founded in 2010 that produces industrial-scale inverters and power conversion platforms for data centers. The move is driven by surging demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure, which requires increasingly powerful and sophisticated energy systems. The deal is expected to close in […]

Texas’s power grid set a new all-time peak in July 2026, with demand climbing above 91 gigawatts for the first time in the state’s history. What made the milestone unusual was the absence of any conservation alert from grid operator ERCOT — a quiet that would have been unthinkable just three years ago. The comparison […]

Security concerns are emerging as a decisive factor in Europe’s solar inverter procurement, potentially rivalling price as the primary selection criterion. Pascal de Buer, SolarEdge’s general manager for Europe, describes the dynamic as analogous to the earlier 5G debate: firms legally bound to comply with shutdown directives from high-risk governments cannot simply refuse, and that […]

Hungary’s energy regulator MEKH has opened the country’s first competitive tender for grid connection capacity dedicated to wind power, making 702 MVA available across nine nodes in six districts nationwide. Applications are accepted from September 4 through October 30, with results due no later than December 13, 2026. Each bidder must request a minimum 14 […]
