Australia’s main power grid saw a substantial rise in renewable energy generation — including solar and wind — over the past year. According to Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO)’s Quarterly Energy Dynamics Report, the grid produced 43 percent of the electricity used across the Australian Capital Territory and five eastern states between January and March.

Nearly all newly constructed homes in the United Kingdom will be required to install rooftop solar panels under the Labour Government’s new net-zero plans. The solar panels will need to be fitted on most new homes within two years of the start of construction, reported The Guardian. “We have always been clear that we want […]
Divya Tyagi, a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), has revised a 100-year-old math equation to improve modeling for wind turbine efficiency. Tyagi used a century-old equation originally developed by aerodynamicist Hermann Glauert. Glauert created the equation to find the maximum power coefficient to determine optimum rotating actuator disk performance, and this initial […]
In Switzerland, a solar technology startup is making use of open spaces between railway tracks to place solar panels. The panels can collect solar power, even with trains using the railway throughout the day. Sunways, a photovoltaic inverter manufacturer, is piloting a new solar project on active railway tracks in Switzerland’s canton of Neuchâtel. The […]
China’s National Energy Administration has announced that the country’s solar and wind energy capacity has exceeded that of thermal energy — which is mostly coal-powered — for the first time. The largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world, China has pledged to achieve peak carbon emissions by the end of the decade and become carbon […]
A new report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) has found that the world added 117 gigawatts of global wind energy capacity for 2024, matching the 117 gigawatts added in 2023. In its report, GWEC had promising outlooks, including a record high wind energy capacity globally and an estimated 1 terawatt of wind energy […]
No fossil fuel interest or government can stop the world from working toward a clean energy future, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said on Wednesday after holding a closed-door virtual meeting with 17 heads of government and state. Participants in the meeting included Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of China Xi Jinping […]
The state of New York is adding $30 million into its Drive Clean Rebate Program, an initiative that provides rebates for the purchase of 60 different electric vehicles. As part of the announcement, the state will also be expanding the existing Charge Ready NY 2.0 program, which provides incentives for installing EV chargers to making […]
As human-caused climate change continues threatening the way of life for virtually every species on Earth, what if one group of organisms right under (and inside of) our noses could help reverse climate change? That’s what a recent report from the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) and the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) argues. […]
