Why clearer terminology for hydrogen could unlock investment and scale up production - A commentary by Timur Gül, Noé van Hulst

Renewable generation in the UK hit a record share of 47.8% of total power production in the first quarter of 2023, which is an increase of 1 percentage poi

A very sunny May, delivering record monthly solar power input, helps set a new record for German renewables. And June promises to take it higher again.

PV Austria says that 1,009 MW of PV systems were installed in Austria last year, enabling solar to meet approximately 6.6% of total electricity demand.

Global demand for solar PV could rise 40% in 2023 as favourable economics combine with broad policies like the IRA and REPowerEU schemes.

Chinese officials on June 25 said the first phase of what is considered the world’s largest combined hydro and solar power plant has entered commercial

China has suspended a tender for a 4 GW off-grid solar-hydrogen project. The CNY 35 billion ($4.83 billion) project – set to be built in Jiuquan, Gansu province – includes 800 MW/1600 MWh of energy storage. It is designed to feature 8,638 electrolyzers and will span 67 km².

Europe’s energy transition is accelerating and infrastructure must keep up, with a special role for cross-border interconnectors.

Of the 422 nuclear reactors operating globally, 262 reactors are 31 to 50 years old. This infographic charts nuclear reactors by age in 2023.

As countries around the world continue to invest in green energy solutions, the demand for fossil fuels such as coal will decrease.

Energy company Drax scraps plan to bring two others out of retirement to help guard against power cuts

Ireland could potentially reach 1 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity by the end of this year, according to new figures from the Irish Solar Energy Association.

DNV, a major global risk management company, has come to the common conclusion that solar PV power will get so cheap that it will eventually dominate new electricity capacity and production. “In 2050, solar PV will be in unassailable position as the cheapest source of new electricity globally,” the company stated in its...

The record quarter was driven in large part by supply chain challenges abating and delayed solar projects moving forward.

Solar manufacturers have until Aug. 15 to submit PV factory proposals to the German authorities.

South Africa has started repowering and repurposing coal-fired power stations as renewable energy hubs, even as electricity utility Eskom says the need for baseload power may necessitate a lifeline for the brown power stations.

This year's second round of the German onshore wind tender awarded projects totaling 1.53 GW, significantly below the targeted 2.86 GW, yet it still indica

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

Record heat across Asia is putting its surging renewable power fleet to the test, highlighting the need for backup supply, transmission system upgrades and tariff reforms to ensure reliability and stave off a slowdown in green energy adoption.

The transmission project is a “critical step forward as the state works to meet its ambitious climate mandates,” said Rich Dewey, NYISO’s president and CEO.

The TransWest Express transmission line that will carry power from the US’ largest wind farm in Wyoming to the Southwest has broken ground.

South America's largest floating solar farm is now online, and it's paired with hydropower, which boosts energy reliability and production.

In 2022, EU coal production and consumption continued to increase, reaching 349 million tonnes (+5% compared with the previous year) and 454 million tonnes (+2%), respectively.

In May alone, the nation’s new PV additions hit 1,040 MW. Its cumulative PV capacity reached 72.5 GW.

French energy company Neoen is starting construction of a new 197 MW battery storage with four hours worth of capacity in Western Australia.
