NERC cut elevated-risk grid regions from six to three for summer 2026 on record resource additions, but DOE orders are keeping some coal plants online too.

The Center for Rural Affairs is suing the United States after EPA terminated its $62.45 million Solar for All grant following a repeal of IRA funding.

Europe’s renewable boom is exposing gaps in grid flexibility. Pumped storage is gaining attention as negative prices, heat and curtailment rise.

A new model shows how tiny spacer layers change 2D perovskites. It could help engineers design better LEDs, solar cells and other light-based devices.

With median interconnection timelines approaching five years, facilities teams are redesigning project sequencing around a queue that most enterprise plans never accounted for.

Illinois HB1700 expands state authority over renewable energy siting disputes, signaling a broader shift toward accelerating project development.

Planned 2027 launch builds on experience supporting more than 25 utility-led virtual power plant programs in the United States

The biggest risk entering H2 may not be execution. It may be relying on planning assumptions that no longer reflect operating conditions.

Meta will buy attributes from two planned Sabanci solar projects. The Texas deal adds 220 MWac as data center power demand grows.

SEIA's new interactive map puts solar's farmland footprint against suburban sprawl and golf courses as Congress debates solar's role in the Farm Bill.

SolarEdge Nexis is gaining ground through new financing approvals. The move could help installers offer solar and storage with fewer sales barriers.

States that voted for President Trump in 2024 accounted for 74% of all solar capacity installed during the quarter, with TX, FL, OH, IN, MI, AZ, and MS ranking among the top ten states for new additions

Skytree and Lingezegen Energy are bringing direct air capture into Dutch greenhouses. The project could make fossil-free CO₂ a practical crop input.

E2 tracked nearly 8 GW of canceled clean energy capacity and $13 billion in abandoned investment in Q1 2026 alone. The hidden cost is what those projects were supposed to deliver.

Billion Watts and Enervest are developing smaller battery sites across NSW and Victoria. The portfolio targets local grid support, storage revenues and resilience.

DOE selected Duke Energy for up to $96 million in federal funding for reliability upgrades at coal-fired power plants in Kentucky and North Carolina across three sites.

Farms and rural firms are adding small wind to solar and storage. Hybrid systems can support resilience, manage costs and reduce grid dependence at more sites.

A UK consortium validated a floating hydrogen hub delivering 5MW of clean shore power to docked ships with no grid connection, cutting years off typical port electrification timelines.

A New York FOIL lawsuit challenges wildlife data redactions in a nearly 2,000-acre solar project siting file, testing how far renewable energy agencies can shield environmental records.

A University of Rochester solar desalination system now extracts lithium directly from seawater, a development procurement teams tracking battery supply chain risk should follow.
