A company building transmission infrastructure for New South Wales’ renewable energy buildout says it accidentally destroyed an Indigenous rock shelter that had already been identified in project planning approval.

California officials and offshore wind backers are still pressing toward a 25-gigawatt target for 2045, arguing that the state’s resource base and long-term electricity needs outweigh a sharp change in federal policy.

A visit to Queensland’s Clarke Creek Wind Farm highlights a recurring conflict in the energy transition: communities routinely accept older grid infrastructure, but often challenge newer renewable projects over how they看

Researchers and testing labs say spontaneous glass breakage has become one of the solar industry’s most serious module reliability issues, with cost pressure and weak standards slowing a solution.

A Taiwan-led comparison found offshore floating solar could generate about 12% more electricity over its lifetime than a ground-mounted plant, though it remains more expensive and technically demanding.

India lost hundreds of gigawatt-hours of renewable generation in the first quarter of 2026, with transmission bottlenecks and system inflexibility emerging as growing barriers to clean power delivery.

DNV has released two new technical standards for floating solar, covering float structures and mooring systems as developers push the technology into larger and more demanding environments.

AmpereHour Energy and IndiGrid have begun operations at a 180MW/360MWh battery energy storage system in Gujarat, a project described as India’s largest stand-alone utility-scale battery installation.

Aspen, Colorado, is set to add 14 public EV charging ports across seven sites, a sizable increase for a city that currently has 24 public plugs.

Solar panels and agriculture can share land, but the benefits depend heavily on climate, crop choice, and system design. New discussion around agrivoltaics highlights both the promise of the model and the risk of oversty

A new satellite-based analysis finds airborne particles cut global solar power generation by 5.8% in 2023, turning coal pollution into a direct drag on the clean-energy transition.

Solar Impulse 2, the solar aircraft that once circled the globe, was lost in the Gulf of Mexico after a power failure during an unmanned Skydweller Aero test, marking a setback for long-endurance solar aviation.

Bolivia has moved a draft electricity and renewable energy law into formal review, beginning a process that could reshape regulation, invite more private capital, and change how generation, transmission, and distribution

A new market outlook suggests low-carbon hydrogen is not collapsing, but it is becoming harder to advance speculative projects as investors focus on projects with credible power access, permitting, policy support, and of

A large meta-analysis of 609 solar installations worldwide finds that photovoltaic plants do more than generate electricity: they also measurably alter wind, heat, reflectivity, and soil moisture at the surface.

Sardinia’s resistance to new wind and solar projects has grown so strong that a grassroots campaign helped produce a temporary moratorium, revealing how social and political mistrust can block energy transition plans.

The Asian Development Bank says it will back a multidecade buildout of regional energy and digital systems, with a major focus on cross-border grids, renewable power flows and access expansion.

Myanmar has commissioned two 40 MW solar plants in the Mandalay region, adding annual generation of about 202 million kWh as the country tries to relieve grid constraints and widespread power rationing.

Silicon Ranch says it has commercially brought online a utility-scale solar farm where cattle can graze beneath moving panels, highlighting a more integrated use of farmland and energy infrastructure.

Mozambique’s energy regulator has relaunched pre-qualification for a 30 MW solar project in Sofala province, reopening a site previously awarded in 2022 as part of the EU- and AFD-backed PROLER auction program
