India and Denmark are exploring closer cooperation in offshore wind, green hydrogen and energy system integration.

India’s Union Cabinet has approved ₹14,500 crore ($1.53 billion) in viability gap funding to support the development of 92 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of grid-scale energy storage capacity between fiscal years 2026-27 and 2030-31.

Spain could require up to 75 GW of electrolyzer capacity and 301 TWh of electricity annually by 2050 to produce synthetic fuels for aviation and shipping, according to a roadmap by Transport & Environment (T&E), prepared with technical support from Comillas Pontifical University.

Germany has awarded contracts worth approximately €12 billion over 15 years for 11 gas fired power projects with a combined tender capacity of 5.16 GW.

South Korea has opened its 2026 hydrogen power auction with 500 GWh of annual procurement for clean hydrogen electricity, down from 3,000 GWh in 2025 and 6,500 GWh in 2024.

Oman plans to add 1 GW of battery energy storage capacity through a partnership between Nama Holding and China’s State Grid International Development, as the country prepares to integrate more than 7 GW of planned solar and wind capacity into its electricity system.

Benin solar gets 30 million euros of financing for four plants totalling 62 MWp, the first independent power project of its kind in the country.
