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 […]

More than 65,000 Massachusetts households running heat pumps will see lower electricity bills this winter after state regulators approved reduced network tariffs set to take effect November 1 — bringing charges below even last year’s discounted levels. The reductions apply to the transmission and distribution layer of electricity bills. The underlying logic is a capacity […]

French green hydrogen producer Lhyfe and German distributor H2APEX have agreed to expand their existing partnership, committing to a two-year supply arrangement that will see Lhyfe deliver up to 100 tonnes of certified renewable hydrogen annually to its German partner. The deal builds on prior collaboration between the two companies and targets the transport and […]

The global residential energy storage market is forecast to add 46.1 GWh of new capacity in 2026, with Europe accounting for 15.4 GWh of that total — retaining its position as the world’s most active region for home battery deployment. Across Western Europe, established markets such as Germany, Austria, and Italy are holding at stable […]

Poland has 6,450 solar projects holding valid grid-connection approvals, with a combined queued capacity of 40.6 GW — nearly double the country’s 21.8 GW of installed solar power. August data from the Warsaw-based Instytut Energetyki Odnawialnej (IEO) puts a sharp edge on a paradox facing Central Europe’s fastest-growing solar market: a massive development pipeline does […]

The US International Development Finance Corporation has committed up to $185 million to help build a large-scale battery energy storage system in Ukraine, marking what DTEK describes as the biggest DFC credit agreement in the country’s energy sector since the start of the full-scale war. The project will deliver 200 MW of power capacity and […]

Prior to the full-scale war, Zhytomyr focused primarily on energy conservation and energy efficiency. The war forced the city to fundamentally rethink its approach to energy resilience. Serhiy Kondratyuk, Deputy Mayor of Zhytomyr, discusses this shift in a new episode of 100GREEN. Previously, municipal programs were aimed mainly at reducing natural gas and electricity consumption, […]

Flexible connection agreements have emerged as both a lifeline and a liability for battery energy storage developers in Germany. Distribution network operators are increasingly granting grid access to BESS projects under such contracts — but at a cost: restrictions on participation in ancillary services markets that meaningfully cut into project revenues. At the Energy Storage […]

Kosovo has moved from discussing its wind potential to testing it on the open market, with three international developers submitting bids in the country’s inaugural wind power tender. The Ministry of Economy is awarding 15-year contracts for difference for projects sized between 50 and 100 MW. The winner will be determined by the lowest offered […]

A technology that originated in MIT research has crossed from the laboratory into one of the world’s largest cement producers. Electrified Thermal Solutions announced that two Joule Hive thermal battery units are now in place at a Holcim facility, with an evaluation phase ahead — a milestone that adds the cement giant as ETS’s third […]

The European Union’s flagship industrial policy tool for renewable energy is not working fast enough to stop the collapse of its domestic solar manufacturing sector, according to a new SolarPower Europe report. The Net Zero Industry Act, designed in part to limit reliance on Chinese equipment by reserving a share of public tender contracts for […]

Spain added 10.1 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2025, with ground-mounted installations accounting for nearly 9 GW — a 31 percent year-on-year increase. The expansion pushed solar’s share of national electricity output to almost 23 percent, making it the country’s leading generation source. Yet scale is proving a double-edged sword. The average price captured by […]

A White House executive order designed to protect the power grid from foreign-manufactured components could slow the United States’ own clean-energy expansion, according to industry analysts. Signed on August 26, the order restricts procurement of overseas-made equipment used in high-voltage systems at 69 kilovolts and above. The restrictions cover power-conversion hardware, high-capacity transformers, and utility-scale […]

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 […]
