This archive tracks real progress in clean and renewable energy — from solar and wind expansions to grid breakthroughs and policy wins. More than 850 articles document what’s working, where it’s scaling, and who’s driving the shift away from fossil fuels. If you follow energy news for signal rather than noise, this is a useful place to start.
Over the next five years, Hertz will buy up to 65,000 Polestar electric sedans with the first models rolling into Europe shortly followed by North America and Australia.
Renewables can grow enough to limit global warming to 1.5C if the 10-year average compound growth rate of 20% can be maintained to 2030, according to climate think tank Ember.
At COP26, India announced the target to have 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade. These green bonds will offer a major boost toward this end.
Wind and solar power together generated 10.3% of the world’s electricity in 2021, crossing double digits for the first time in history. That’s a remarkable leap considering these two sources were barely a blip on the global grid just twenty years ago. Fifty countries now pull more than 10% of their power from wind and sun, with Denmark leading the pack at 52%. Even China, the world’s largest electricity market, quietly joined the 10% club that same year. The milestone matters because it shows the clean energy transition isn’t a far-off hope but a measurable, accelerating shift — one that, if its current pace holds, could keep the power sector aligned with the 1.5°C climate goal.
By 2023, the consortium of developers will bring the wind energy sector into the circular economy loop in a sustainable manner, according to the principles of eco-design.
The Thai government has approved a budget of 3 billion baht to subsidize the price of electric vehicles to promote the shift to a low carbon society.
The UK’s total pipeline of offshore wind projects has now reached 86 gigawatts (GW), according to new research published today by not-for-profit renewable energy trade association RenewableUK.
A terawatt is 1,000 gigawatts. One gigawatt is roughly the equivalent of energy produced by 3 million solar panels.
One University of Cambridge study suggests that there will be 43 million tonnes of blade waste around the world by 2050.
The rapid growth in plug-in electric vehicle sales from 2020 to 2021 is remarkable in the context of overall light-duty vehicle sales, which increased by only 3% during the same period.
