US corporations reached a new milestone in renewable energy procurement in 2025, securing a record 27.3GW of clean power capacity. According to the Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA), this represents a 12% increase over the previous year, bringing the total cumulative corporate procurement to over 130GW since 2014. Solar PV remained the primary choice for […]
The Italian energy regulator, ARERA, has introduced new mandates requiring solar and wind power plants with capacities exceeding 100 kW to upgrade their grid integration and cybersecurity capabilities. Under resolutions 385/2025/R/EEL and 564/2025/R/EEL, operators must install central plant controllers (CCI) to facilitate remote active power control. These measures, which include staggered compliance deadlines through 2028, […]
China is addressing the environmental challenge of aging renewable energy infrastructure as its massive wind and solar installations reach the end of their operational lives. With combined capacity recently surpassing thermal power, the nation faces a looming waste crisis involving millions of tonnes of decommissioned equipment. In response, state-owned CHN Energy is pioneering large-scale recycling […]
