In Pakistan, a country with 250 million people and a GDP per capita of about $A2,300, the extraordinary citizen-led solar boom did not come out of nowhere.
GAC will add a shorter-range AION UT to its Australian line-up later this year, with a smaller 44 kWh battery opening the door to an even cheaper entry price.
As wind generation proposals get stuck in EPBC limbo, plans for what could be the biggest new gas plant in Australia have been given the all-clear in just weeks.
Is the world's best selling EV good value? Geely’s smallest electric car arrives with a tempting price and class-leading cargo space, but with modest range and performance.
Much more work needs to be done to create consumer protections and change tariffs to convince households to sign up to VPPs, new study finds.
In just a year, ALMM-listed solar PV cell manufacturing capacity has increased from around 13 GW to roughly 31 GW across eight revisions.
A systematic review finds that solar PV emerges consistently to the backbone of future energy systems, yet many models still underestimate its role. Across the globe, solar PV is projected to supply about 61% of the world's electricity by 2050.
Cyprus has commissioned its inaugural 5 MWh utility-scale battery storage facility. The project aims to address escalating solar curtailment issues and accelerate the island nation's developing energy storage sector.
ContourGlobal has signed an agreement with CATL to procure 3GWh of battery energy storage systems. The technology is earmarked for deployment across the company's project portfolios in the United Kingdom, Greece, and Chile.
Energy Vault has secured a strategic agreement to provide power infrastructure for a 1.25GW hyperscaler AI data centre project in Texas. The developer will integrate energy storage systems to support the massive power requirements of the facility's artificial intelligence operations.
Brazil faces potential solar PV curtailment of 40% to 47% in late 2026 if a strong El Niño occurs, driven by increased thermal dispatch and grid constraints. These projected renewable restrictions, which could reach 25% across all green energy sources, present significant financial risks for regional project developers.
Citicore has commenced construction on a 53MWh solar-plus-storage project in the Philippines, marking the nation's first integrated renewable energy and storage facility to be embedded directly into the local distribution network.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners has achieved financial close for the La Esperanza project in Campeche, Mexico, which integrates solar PV with 750MWh of battery energy storage capacity.
Energy storage manufacturers are shifting strategies toward localized market intelligence and downstream partnerships to navigate Europe's increasingly segmented residential, commercial, and utility sectors. This strategic pivot aims to secure market share through 2028 by aligning technological innovation with specific national policy and economic drivers.
Field has secured support for 16- to 18-hour long-duration energy storage projects under the UK Government's cap-and-floor investment framework. The developer is now progressing technical specifications and delivery timelines for these ultra-long-duration battery assets following their successful selection in the scheme.
German battery energy storage developers face a tightening financing landscape despite the proven profitability of merchant business models. 8Energies reports that while operational performance remains strong, securing capital for new projects has become increasingly difficult throughout 2024.
SEG Solar has launched its second photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturing facility in Greater Houston, Texas, expanding its total US production capacity to 6GW per year.
The photovoltaic systems will be used for rural homes and essential services. Cuba has also introduced new renewable energy incentives, including a $3.30/kWh payment rate and tax exemptions for clean energy equipment and investments.
France connected 1.496 GW of solar PV capacity in Q2 2026, including 48 MW paired with storage, bringing first-half additions to around 2.9 GW.
While momentum in Czechia's C&I solar market remains strong, the country recorded a drop in residential solar installations over the first half of 2026.
Indian researchers found that while CuO-water nanofluid cooling reduces solar panel temperatures more effectively than passive aluminum fins, the energy required for pumping results in nearly identical net electrical efficiency between the two methods.
Encavis and OX2 have advanced battery energy storage developments in Italy, while Sunotec has commissioned a new BESS facility in Bulgaria as part of a broader expansion of European storage capacity.
