The Philippines is launching a massive $433 billion green energy initiative that could slash some of Southeast Asia's highest electricity bills while creating thousands of jobs. Through competitive auctions and public-private partnerships, the nation aims to triple its renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Families across Kenya are catching a break as prices dropped on essential items like sugar, flour, and electricity in February. The cost cuts helped ease inflation and put more money back in people's pockets.
A Chinese company just launched a balloon-supported wind farm that floats two kilometers above ground, tapping into stronger, steadier winds than traditional turbines. The prototype is already feeding clean electricity into the grid.
Nine European nations just committed to building enough offshore wind farms to power 100 million homes by 2050. The ambitious plan could create 90,000 jobs while slashing electricity costs by 30% over the next 15 years.
Eleven major Australian groups just delivered a game-changing plan requiring data centers to run entirely on new renewable energy. The move protects everyday electricity bills while creating thousands of clean energy jobs.
India just more than doubled its rooftop solar installations in a single year, with homes leading an energy revolution that's putting power back in people's hands. Thanks to a government program offering free electricity, three out of four new solar panels went up on residential rooftops across the country.
A Vancouver company just cracked a cheaper, cleaner way to make battery-grade lithium using electricity and water instead of harsh chemicals. Their breakthrough could reshape where and how the world makes electric vehicle batteries.
The UK just started receiving its first geothermal electricity from a pioneering Cornwall plant that also produces lithium for batteries. A worldwide surge in clean, always-on geothermal energy could soon power 15% of global electricity growth by 2050.
Scientists discovered sea urchin spines generate electricity from water flow, inspiring self-powered underwater sensors. The breakthrough could revolutionize ocean monitoring without batteries.
After years of lagging behind, Africa just hit a solar power milestone that's lighting up the continent and offering hope to millions without reliable electricity. Record solar installations in 2025 are transforming how Africa powers its future.
A Washington food bank just landed a solar grant that will slash its electricity costs by 80%, freeing up thousands of dollars to feed hungry neighbors. The timing couldn't be better as they prepare to move into a larger facility.
Morocco installed over 1,200 MW of solar capacity last year, including a massive surge in rooftop and agricultural systems. The North African nation is racing toward its goal of getting half its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
Britain just switched on its first geothermal power plant, using heat from three miles underground to generate clean electricity around the clock. Unlike solar and wind, this renewable energy source never stops working.
A Nigerian electricity company is bringing dormant hydroelectric plants back to life and adding 200 megawatts of power to serve millions across seven states. The project promises more reliable electricity for homes and businesses that have struggled with aging infrastructure.
Solar energy just made history in America, growing 35% in 2025 to become a bigger electricity source than hydropower for the first time ever. The breakthrough shows clean energy is rapidly becoming the backbone of how we power our lives.
Millions of households in Georgia and Alabama are set to save over $7 billion on electricity costs thanks to the largest energy loan in U.S. Department of Energy history. The $26.5 billion financing package will upgrade power plants, expand the grid, and freeze rates for years to come.
China just crossed a historic threshold: more than half of its power generation capacity now comes from clean energy sources, driven by a decade of massive solar and wind investment. The world's largest carbon emitter is leading the global renewable revolution while racing to meet soaring electricity demand.
Three offshore wind farms in the Philippines just secured grid connections, bringing the nation closer to powering homes with clean ocean breezes. The projects will generate enough electricity for over a million households by 2030.
Scientists are adapting self-cleaning period pad technology to purify household water in rural Nepal, where up to 70% of sources contain harmful bacteria. The solar-powered solution needs no electricity or chemicals, just sunlight.
Scientists just solved one of nuclear power's biggest problems: what to do with radioactive waste. A new reactor design can turn dangerous nuclear waste into electricity while making it safe in just 300 years instead of 100,000.
