Vestas completed installation of wind turbines at Pattern Energy's SunZia, the US's largest clean energy project. The wind farm has now begun generating power.
Climate
China plans to double renewable energy capacity by 2035, a significant climate commitment. However, the country simultaneously continues building new coal-fired power plants, undermining climate progress.
Energy
The U.S. wind market remains physically robust as a major global player, but faces growing policy instability and unpredictability in 2026. This contradiction between market strength and regulatory uncertainty presents challenges for continued sector growth.
Energy
A new demonstration facility in Iceland is testing an energy-efficient process that could reduce sustainable aviation fuel production costs by 70% through electrolysis. The technology advancement strengthens the case for SAF as a viable climate solution for aviation.
Energy
The first turbine has been installed at New York's 924-megawatt Sunrise Wind offshore wind project. This marks a significant milestone in offshore wind development on the U.S. East Coast.
Climate
An IEA report warns of supply chain risks for rare earth elements as their global demand accelerates across energy, transport, and technology sectors. The report calls for new projects, partnerships, and policies to diversify supply and address the growing mismatch between rising demand and slow supply expansion.
EV
Rivian is implementing second-life battery storage at its factory, repurposing used EV battery packs for stationary energy storage applications. This approach demonstrates the circular economy potential of electric vehicle batteries beyond their automotive lifespan.
Energy
A University of Naples study finds hydrogen production at Mediterranean ports could cost €2.5-€13/kg using hybrid renewable systems. Solar and wind resources show promise for large-scale decarbonization efforts backed by EU infrastructure expansion.
Energy
Norwegian developer Scatec ASA has commissioned the first phase of Egypt's 1.1 GW Obelisk solar and battery storage project, funded by $479.1 million in development finance. The project features a fully contracted storage revenue model.
Energy
A new metric shows offshore wind and solar are 53% cheaper than nuclear power in Denmark's climate-neutral energy system. Researchers found the renewable mix costs €46/MWh compared to nuclear's equivalent cost.
Energy
Researchers developed zinc-doped tin oxide as an indium-free alternative for tandem solar cells, achieving 27-28% efficiency. This scalable breakthrough could advance high-performance photovoltaics without relying on scarce indium resources.
Climate
The Philippines is facing renewed pressure to drill for oil and gas in the Liguasan Marsh, the country's largest intact wetland, amid global energy concerns. Environmental groups are criticizing the proposal, which threatens this biodiverse ecosystem.
Climate
Climate change is expanding mosquito ranges into historically temperate regions like New England, where warming and wetter conditions enable disease-carrying species to thrive. Better monitoring systems are essential to prevent disease outbreaks in affected areas.
Energy
Italy's expanding solar capacity is driving wholesale electricity prices lower in southern regions, creating revenue challenges for PV producers. The sector warns that declining solar revenues may accelerate by 2027, underscoring the need for energy storage and hybrid solutions.
Energy
Brazil's grid operator ONS reports that distributed solar plants achieve a 72% average performance ratio, with variations linked to seasonality and soiling. The findings will improve forecasting models for grid management as distributed solar capacity expands.
