Asia just made history by generating so much solar power that fossil fuel electricity actually dropped for the first time this century. China and India, once the world's biggest coal users, are now leading the global retreat from dirty energy.
Uruguay, Kenya, and Pakistan proved the world's clean energy transition can happen fast. Their secret? Energy security paid off faster than fossil fuels ever could.
For the first time in history, solar energy led global energy supply growth, providing a quarter of all new energy demand in 2025. The milestone marks a turning point in the world's shift away from fossil fuels.
Sweden's wind farms now produce so much renewable electricity that prices sometimes drop below zero, forcing producers to pay customers to use power. This "problem of abundance" shows what happens when the clean energy transition actually works.
German renewable energy developer ABO Energy just secured permits for 650 megawatts of wind projects, marking a huge leap forward for Europe's largest clean energy transition. The company's success shows how smart policy and competition are making wind power faster and cheaper to build.
Europe is charting a faster path to clean energy than expected, with scientists recommending an 86% emissions cut by 2040. The ambitious roadmap includes a seven-fold boost in wind and solar power within 16 years.
Ireland's renewable energy reached nearly half of all electricity demand in March 2026, with solar power tripling its contribution in just one month. The country is proving that rapid clean energy transitions are possible when the momentum builds.

This first-of-its-kind project in South America is proving clean energy can seamlessly fit into everyday life.
Thousands of Chilean families are now cooking and showering with a groundbreaking fuel blend that cuts carbon emissions without changing their bills or appliances. It's the first project of its kind in South America.
Australian researchers discovered how to extract copper more efficiently from the world's most abundant copper mineral, potentially transforming how we power the clean energy transition. The breakthrough could slash energy use while boosting recovery from existing mines.
In the Sahara's edge, Morocco built one of the world's largest solar plants using 2 million mirrors to generate electricity even after sunset. The ambitious Noor project shows both the promise and growing pains of Africa's clean energy transition.
India's second-largest renewable energy company just commissioned its biggest annual expansion ever, adding enough clean power for millions of homes. ReNew Energy's record 2.4 GW addition signals the country's clean energy transition is hitting full stride.
Cambodia now generates more than 63% of its electricity from renewable sources, slashing its vulnerability to global oil price shocks while saving money for businesses and families. The Southeast Asian nation's energy transformation offers a blueprint for small countries seeking independence from volatile fossil fuel markets.
A farmer who grew up with transmission lines is stepping forward to support a controversial renewable energy project, offering his 4,000-hectare property to help power Australia's future. Craig McIntosh's decision could help connect renewable energy zones between Victoria and New South Wales.
A solar company just chartered a cargo plane to fly 100 tons of solar cells across continents, proving nothing will stop the clean energy transition. Kosol Energie chose speed over savings to keep India's renewable energy projects on track.
Australian scientists just cracked a billion-year-old code that could revolutionize how we find the rare metals powering electric cars and wind turbines. The discovery could accelerate the clean energy transition by making critical minerals easier to locate.
Abandoned salt mines in China are becoming giant underground batteries that store enough renewable energy to power 200,000 homes. The breakthrough technology is helping the country lead the global clean energy transition while sharing affordable solutions with the world.
America installed over 26 gigawatts of solar power in 2025, pushing clean energy past coal as renewables now make up nearly a quarter of the nation's electricity grid. The momentum is only accelerating, with 240 gigawatts more solar potentially coming by 2028.
South Africa just made it easier and cheaper for homeowners to go solar by extending its fee waiver for six more months. The move could accelerate the country's clean energy transition while keeping costs down for families investing in their own power security.
Australia's New South Wales is moving forward with nine massive battery projects that will keep the power grid stable as the state transitions to renewable energy. The innovative approach lets the grid operator tap into privately owned batteries instead of building expensive new infrastructure.
