Affordable reliable energy? New report reveals Australia's remaining coal plants went at least partly offline 108 times in the five months from October 2025 to the end of February 2026.
Australia has become one of the world’s most attractive destinations for hyperscale data centers, ranking among the top five to 10 markets globally by capacity. Drivers include large land availability in Renewable Energy Zones, renewable penetration exceeding 40% across the National Electricity Market (NEM), geopolitical stability, Five Eyes membership, and proximity to Asia-Pacific demand hubs.
Two offshore wind farms being built in US waters have marked huge milestones, with one completing construction and another sending first power to the grid.
After a record 2024 in which the corporate PPA market hit a new peak breaking through 3 GW for the first time, 2025 saw something of a "reversion to the mean."
Big battery project under construction in NSW has sealed a "landmark" long-term offtake deal worth $200 million with a "non-traditional" Danish player.
Global energy optimisation outfit closes €12 million fundraising round after luring a range of heavy hitting investors, including a South Korea-based tech giant.
AEMO governance review is a rare starting point for big questions about Australia’s energy market institutions. The risk is that it produces incremental tweaks rather than a fundamental rethink.
Building just one-third of the offshore wind capacity proposed for Victorian waters would slash electricity bills, avoid hundreds of kilometres of onshore transmission, and loosen gas's grip, says report.
Danish company has officially launched a Victorian solar farm that is contracted to supply renewable electricity to Apple in Australia.
The Italian energy regulator is requiring PV and wind plants over 100 kW to install central controllers with remote active power control, with staggered compliance deadlines up to 2028. The rules, coupled with rising digitalization, are driving cybersecurity upgrades, AI-based monitoring, and grid-aware operational practices across the renewable energy sector.
ASL outlines plans to structure massive new tenders in ways that supports hybrid projects, with a particular focus on solar-battery hybrid power stations.
Icelandic utility ON Power has deployed a hybrid solar-plus-storage facility in Reykjavík to support electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The company says it believes such distributed systems will play a growing role in charging infrastructure in the future, even in Iceland’s renewables-dominated power system.
Marstek has unveiled a plug-in storage system with a two-kilowatt-hour capacity. The device plugs into a standard household socket and is designed to store solar power from balcony systems or draw in cheap electricity from dynamic pricing tariffs.
The European Union's NIS2 Directive is pushing PV operators to strengthen both cyber and physical security, treating solar assets as critical infrastructure. It also highlights the need for stronger physical protection measures, such as site surveillance, access control, and perimeter security to prevent tampering and intrusion.
Crisil Ratings says rapid renewable energy additions and slow grid expansion could expose more than 35 GW of capacity to curtailment in India.
