America just broke its own energy production record for the fourth year in a row, with renewable energy, natural gas, and oil all reaching new highs in 2025. The milestone shows the nation is producing more power than ever while renewables keep climbing.
A 20-month study in Qatar's desert shows moving solar panels that follow the sun generate significantly more electricity than fixed panels. The breakthrough could transform renewable energy production in sunny, arid climates worldwide.
A developing El Niño weather pattern is set to bring sunnier skies and up to 20% more solar energy production across Australia, Southeast Asia, and India this winter. The forecast offers a bright spot for renewable energy markets during a critical transition period.
Columbia University researchers developed a way to forecast a solar panel's yearly energy production using just a single 360° photo. The breakthrough could make solar planning faster, cheaper, and more accurate for homeowners and businesses alike.
Florida surged to third place nationally in solar energy production, with enough capacity to power 2.4 million homes. The Sunshine State's clean energy boom is helping families slash electric bills while building a cleaner future.
A record-breaking heat dome brought 25% more sunshine to southern US solar farms in March, with Texas and California leading gains. While northern regions faced storms, the sunbelt's clear skies delivered a powerful month for clean energy production.
Scientists found a way to transform toxic lead from old ammunition into materials for highly efficient solar panels. The innovation tackles two problems at once: hazardous waste and clean energy production.
A wind turbine factory that sat empty for over a decade is back in action, bringing more than 100 manufacturing jobs to West Branch, Iowa. The reopening marks a major comeback for clean energy production in America's heartland.
Clean winter air and clear skies gave parts of China and Taiwan their strongest solar energy production in 20 years this February. The boost came from unusually low pollution and reduced cloud cover across the region.
Norway is stepping up to help Sri Lanka build a cleaner energy future with wind, solar, and ocean wave power. The partnership could transform both farming and energy production across the island nation.
Cuba's solar energy production has jumped from 5.8% to over 20% of total generation in just over a year, thanks to Chinese partnership building dozens of solar parks. While a power crisis affects millions, renewable energy is lighting a path forward for the island nation.
A new Swedish facility will turn forest mill waste into renewable gas that works in today's pipelines, multiplying the country's clean energy production more than four times. Three companies are now designing the groundbreaking plant that could power ships and factories without fossil fuels.
India's most populous state is partnering with Japan to build cutting-edge green hydrogen research centers that could transform clean energy production. The collaboration brings together universities, industry, and international expertise to develop the fuel of the future.
Morocco just secured $35 billion in green hydrogen investments, transforming the North African nation into a global leader in clean energy production. The country is turning its world-class solar and wind resources into a functioning industrial reality.
Researchers in Turkey developed a spray-on coating that keeps solar panels cleaner in dusty environments, helping them generate more power. The breakthrough could be especially valuable in desert regions where dust dramatically reduces solar energy production.
French researchers discovered the perfect height for solar panels that grow food and generate power beneath them. Raising panels above three meters protects crops while actually cooling the panels for better energy production.
A Japanese company just activated a 2 MW solar installation that hovers above rice paddies, generating clean electricity while crops grow underneath. The innovative system automatically adjusts panel angles to prioritize sunlight for rice during growing season and energy production during off months.
Alberta is putting $28 million toward six innovative projects that will boost energy production while cutting emissions. The funding spans energy, agriculture, and environmental cleanup initiatives across the province.
Australian researchers have cracked a major puzzle in clean energy production: creating green hydrogen from seawater using liquid metal and sunlight. This breakthrough could help decarbonize industries without competing for precious freshwater supplies.
Ukraine just completed its first domestically made wind turbine blade, achieving full-cycle wind energy production. The 75-meter achievement marks a major step toward energy independence during challenging times.
