Construction has officially commenced on Malaysia’s largest standalone floating PV installation, a 300MW project located in Batang Berjuntai, Selangor. Developed by EDRA Global Energy, a subsidiary of China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), the facility is a cornerstone of the nation’s fifth Large-Scale Solar (LSS5) program. Once completed, it will rank among the most significant […]
Spain has officially surpassed the 50 GW milestone in solar power capacity, reinforcing its position as a major European renewable energy leader. According to recent data from grid operator REE, solar energy now accounts for 34% of the nation’s total electricity generation capacity. This achievement follows a record-breaking 2025, during which the country added nearly […]
Denmark reached a historic milestone in its renewable energy transition by installing a record-breaking 1.55 GW of solar capacity in 2025. This surge, primarily driven by large-scale ground-mounted utility projects, brought the nation’s cumulative solar capacity to approximately 6.3 GW. While the utility sector saw exponential growth compared to the previous year, the rooftop segment […]
Researchers at Mälardalen University in Sweden have developed a sophisticated methodology to optimize agrivoltaic systems across Europe, focusing on maximizing the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER). By analyzing the interplay between local climates, crop varieties, and regional regulations, the study identifies row spacing as the most critical factor in balancing energy production and agricultural yield. The […]
Spanish startup Silbat is advancing its long-duration energy storage technology through the ARMIC project, which aims to provide critical military infrastructure with up to 14 days of uninterrupted power. By utilizing the high latent heat of molten silicon, the company’s battery systems offer a resilient alternative to traditional grid dependence. Supported by €3.4 million in […]
The United States is seeing a significant surge in floating solar development as land-use constraints drive energy projects toward water-based surfaces. By utilizing reservoirs, irrigation ponds, and even flood zones, developers are bypassing traditional land conflicts while benefiting from the natural cooling effects of water on solar panels. With technological advancements in conversion efficiency and […]
Brazil is accelerating its renewable energy transition with a strategic goal to reach 107 GW of cumulative installed solar PV capacity by late 2035. This target, outlined in the Ministry of Mines and Energy’s draft Ten Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE 2035), represents a substantial increase from the 60 GW projected for the end of […]
Sunswap and Protran Solutions have successfully demonstrated a solar-powered refrigerated trailer designed to eliminate diesel dependency in the cold chain industry. By integrating rooftop solar panels with high-capacity batteries, the Sunswap Endurance unit provides a zero-emission alternative to traditional diesel generators. A recent 1,600-kilometer trial across Australia proved the technology’s efficacy in extreme heat, maintaining […]
Barbados is set to become a Caribbean leader in marine renewables through a new partnership with Danish engineering firm Wavepiston. The collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding with the government agency Export Barbados, aims to develop a 50-megawatt wave energy project that simultaneously generates clean electricity and desalinated drinking water. This flagship initiative represents […]
The successful restoration of the Earth’s ozone layer stands as a monumental achievement in environmental diplomacy and scientific collaboration. Once threatened by the widespread use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), this protective atmospheric shield is now on a steady path to recovery thanks to the 1987 Montreal Protocol. Current projections suggest that ozone levels will return to […]
