Egypt and Norway are deepening their energy partnership with plans to bring cutting-edge carbon capture technology and green hydrogen projects to the Middle East. The five-year collaboration could transform Egypt into a clean energy hub while helping Europe meet its climate goals.
Federal judges have now lifted stop-work orders on three major offshore wind projects in just seven days, clearing the way for billions in clean energy construction to resume. The latest victory keeps Virginia's $9 billion coastal wind farm on track to deliver power this year.
The Scottish Highlands is getting 180 new green energy jobs as workers prepare turbine parts for a massive offshore wind farm. When complete in 2028, the project will power six million homes annually.
A new half-billion dollar fund is backing companies that bring electricity and clean cooking solutions to emerging markets where 660 million people still live without power. Four companies have already received funding to expand solar energy, electric vehicles, and clean cookstoves across Africa and Asia.
A federal judge ruled that Rhode Island and Connecticut's Revolution Wind project can continue construction after the Trump administration suddenly halted the nearly finished offshore wind farm. The project was weeks away from delivering clean power to thousands of homes when the stop order arrived.
Five major offshore wind projects are back on track after federal judges struck down stop-work orders, clearing the way for clean energy to power 2.5 million East Coast homes. The latest victory came when a Reagan-appointed judge ruled the Sunrise Wind project losing $2.5 million daily would suffer irreparable harm if construction remained halted.
The Scottish Highlands is getting 180 new skilled jobs to help build the world's largest offshore wind farm. These roles at Port of Nigg will support clean energy that could power millions of homes by 2028.
Britain just installed the final turbine on phase one of Dogger Bank, a massive offshore wind farm that will eventually power 6 million homes. Each of the 277 turbines will stand as tall as Rockefeller Center when the full project finishes in 2027. #
