Kryvyi Rih has included a 12 MW solar power plant in a draft community development action plan, with the installation intended to supply electricity to the city’s wastewater treatment infrastructure. The proposed site is the Central Aeration Station of municipal utility Kryvbasvodokanal, where the plant would power pumps and aeration systems. The draft action plan […]

Ukraine registered roughly 4,600 battery-electric vehicles in September 2026, cutting last year’s figure nearly in half, according to the Ukravtoprom industry association. The contrast with European trends is stark: European electric-car sales rose nearly 72.9 percent over the same period. The passenger segment accounted for 4,349 of September’s registrations, yet the split between new and […]

Ukraine’s energy regulator has extended access to Ukrenergo’s replacement-reserve mechanism to distributed generation facilities across the entire country, a step expected to ease electricity shortages at grid nodes where supply is under pressure. Previously, only cogeneration facilities in Kyiv and Kyiv region were eligible to participate in the tertiary-frequency and active-power reserve scheme run by […]

Europe assembles solar panels in quantity but barely makes the materials that go into them — and an industry coalition wants the bloc’s forthcoming Industrial Accelerator Act to fix that imbalance. More than 35 companies and institutions have jointly petitioned the European Parliament and the Council of the EU, urging legislators to use the IAA […]

New clean energy investment declarations in the United States fell $8.2 billion short of cancellations in 2025, according to business group E2’s Clean Economy Works tracker. Projects cancelled, frozen or scaled back since early 2025 are valued at $86.6 billion — more than the $78.4 billion in newly declared plans. Comparison of announced and cancelled […]

Dutch developer Giga Storage is set to attract €260 million in project financing for its Albatross battery storage facility in Germany, the company’s first large-scale BESS deployment in the country. A syndicate of seven banks — ABN Amro, Rabobank, ING, SMBC, Société Générale, Hamburg Commercial Bank and Siemens Bank — will provide the credit package. […]

The onshore wind sector in the United States is recording a sharp surge in equipment orders even as federal authorities move to block offshore auctions and seek court injunctions against in-progress offshore projects. The driver is a shift in how existing tax incentives are applied. Under recently enacted federal legislation, developers who broke ground before […]

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 […]
