One of Australia’s leading gold producers has unveiled plans for a massive wind, solar and battery hybrid project – the biggest of its type in Australia – to help power its expanded mining operations around the country’s gold capital of Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Richland County forbade large-scale renewable energy in most townships. Next May, voters will have a chance to reject the rules in a first-of-its-kind referendum.
Tapping energy from “superhot rock” could produce cheap, clean, constant energy almost anywhere — if drills and wells can survive infernal heat and pressure.
It used to be that drawing heat from deep in the Earth was practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution.
China’s exports of batteries and battery energy storage systems (BESS) have hit a record in 2025, soaring by 24% from the year before over the first nine months of the year.
Germany has quietly become home to over one million tiny solar power plants hanging from apartment balconies and mounted on terraces across the country. These plug-and-play solar systems, called “Balkonkraftwerke” in German, reached this milestone by late June 2025, showing how regular people are taking clean energy into their own hands.
Atlas Renewable Energy recently launched the Shangri-La solar project, which is located in Ibagué, Tolima. It has a capacity of 201 MW, making it one of the largest in Colombia. Atlas Renewable Energy is an international renewable energy generation company with headquarters in Miami, Florida.
China has successfully deployed the world’s largest power-generating kite, capable of harnessing the potential of energy-dense, high-altitude winds to provide cheaper power than traditional surface turbines
Hamad is one of dozens of “solar mamas” trained in Zanzibar by Barefoot College International, a global nonprofit, through a program that brings light to rural communities and provides jobs for local women. So far in Zanzibar, it has lit 1,845 homes.
Politically speaking, Texas occupies an unusual position in the US energy transition. The statehouse is dominated by Republican officials who are determined to follow the White House lead on energy policy. However, the state’s deeply rooted freestyle economic policy keeps getting in the way.
Wood-based battery development is gaining momentum as researchers and companies look for alternatives to mined minerals. At Michigan State University (MSU), scientists have shown that a battery separator made from lignin can last 60 percent longer than traditional plastic separators. This battery component also withstands heat up to 300°C, making it safer and more reliable than conventional parts.
The Australian government is floating a scheme that would share the benefits of solar power with everyone on the grid, offering totally free electricity to ratepayers in the middle of the day, when the sun is shining the strongest.
Earlier this year, Utah became the first state in the country to enact legislation allowing for the adoption of portable solar—small solar PV systems that are designed to be plugged into a standard wall outlet. These plug-in units are already in widespread use in Germany, and interest is growing in the United States to incorporate them in rules governing electric generation.
For the fourth year in a row, the world is projected to add a record amount of wind and solar. If the growth of these technologies continues apace, countries will reach an international goal to triple global renewable capacity by the end of this decade, analysts say.
Researchers at the University of Sydney and commercial start-up Dewpoint Innovations have created a nano-engineered polymer coating that not only reflects up to 97% of the sun’s rays, but also passively collects water. In tests, it was able to keep indoors up to 6 °C (~11 °F) cooler than the air outside.
Australian households in three states will be promised access to at least three hours a day of free solar power, regardless of whether they have rooftop panels, the federal government has announced.
There’s a PDF linked in the page that explains how to create your own system.
Unfortunately it doesn’t really say how much power you can get out of it, but it sounds interesting!
The developer of what stands to be Australia’s biggest battery says the new breed of hybrid solar and storage projects, starting to dominate the national renewables pipeline, can power new and existing industrial energy needs at an “incredibly competitive” cost – and without government handouts.
Financial institutions are lacking safeguards to prevent harms caused by mining the resources needed for the energy transition, analysis of the sector's financing finds
In H1 2025, the world added 380 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity – a staggering 64% jump compared to the same period in 2024, when 232 GW came online. China was responsible for installing a massive 256 GW of that solar capacity
I wouldn't expect the bulk of these companies to get anywhere, but the amount of money being thrown around by institutional investors suggests that commercially-viable fusion might actually be less than the usual "30 years away".
Solar power is already providing the “cheapest electricity in history” and is expected to play a pivotal role in the global transition away from fossil fuels.
Solar power is having a bumper year as developers race to complete installations before Trump’s policy changes pull the rug out from under the industry.
With electricity prices rising at more than twice the rate of inflation, President Donald Trump has lashed out at renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, blaming them for skyrocketing energy costs.
As climate change makes heatwaves more frequent and more intense, demand for energy is soaring as people attempt to keep cool. At the same time, high temperatures are undermining electricity supplies, particularly from thermal plants - a type of power station in which heat energy is converted into electricity - that rely on river water for cooling.
