A severe winter blast is causing chaos for Germany’s power grid. With solar panels buried and wind generation weak, the country is being forced to rely on expensive gas, sending electricity prices surging.
Brussels is exploring ways to reduce the carbon border tax burden on UK electricity producers. The changes would factor in Britain’s own carbon pricing and renewable energy production. A final proposal is due December 10.
CPS Energy is launching a major solar procurement while federal policies create uncertainty for renewable energy in Texas. The utility already operates over 1 GW of solar capacity and plans battery storage expansion. Texas solar growth continues despite regulatory challenges.
Xcel Energy wants to dramatically expand battery storage at its Sherco coal plant, which is scheduled to retire in 2030. The utility plans to build 600 MW of lithium iron phosphate batteries that can discharge for four hours and recharge quickly.
Energy leaders at ADIPEC conference reveal unprecedented investment needs as AI datacenters double electricity consumption. The $4 trillion annual funding gap could reshape global energy markets for decades.
The era of “free” excess renewable energy is ending as data centers and electrification consume surpluses. New analysis reveals how storage efficiency creates billion-dollar advantages in the race to decarbonize the grid.
Europe’s energy grid is flashing red as solar power surges beyond expectations. The infrastructure built for fossil fuels can’t handle renewable volatility, creating both crisis and opportunity.
An Irish energy technology company is making strategic moves into the competitive US market through an experienced partnership. This transatlantic collaboration aims to address critical gaps in America’s energy transition infrastructure.
A pioneering hydrogen combustion engine trial at Kirkwall Airport has successfully demonstrated the first 100% hydrogen CHP system powering a UK commercial airport. The breakthrough represents a significant step toward decarbonizing aviation infrastructure using green hydrogen technology.
Researchers have developed a breakthrough approach to perovskite solar cell manufacturing using soft-soft chemical interactions to create superior heterojunctions. This nanoscale engineering technique dramatically improves efficiency and reproducibility while solving key manufacturing challenges.
