The UK is ramping up its energy transition with a £500 million (USD 672 million/EUR 580 million) battery storage platform aimed at delivering over 1 gigawatt (GW) of new capacity across the country.
Data centers already account for more than 2% of U.S. electricity consumption, and with artificial intelligence accelerating demand, the power gap is widening. Pacifico Energy’s proposed GW Ranch project in Pecos County, Texas aims to address that gap by going off-grid—bypassing utility interconnections and regulatory bottlenecks in favor of a purpose-built, self-contained system combining gas turbines and battery storage.
In 2024, 91% of new renewable energy projects worldwide delivered power at a lower cost than any new fossil fuel alternative, according to the latest data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
The Department of Energy (DOE) has rescinded 24 previously awarded clean energy demonstration projects totaling more than $3.7 billion in federal funding.
In a high-level diplomatic meeting, Egypt and Sweden outlined a joint roadmap for renewable integration, energy storage, and cross-border grid interconnection—yet critical challenges remain.
As Southeast Europe intensifies its focus on energy transition, the Renecwable South 2025 conference—held in Mostar on May 7–8—has brought together key stakeholders to address some of the region’s most pressing energy challenges.
Last week’s blackout across Spain and Portugal—Europe’s most severe in recent years—has reignited urgent concerns over the region’s outdated electricity infrastructure.
A seismic shift is underway in the energy industry, defined by digitalization and integration, reshaping the future landscape. As energy systems evolve, digital technology and a more unified approach are increasingly viewed as pivotal.
The European Union’s Climate, Infrastructure, and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has launched a €600 million funding call for cross-border energy…
