India is set to invest a record $170 billion in energy this year, with solar power leading a massive shift toward renewable sources. The spending surge is creating jobs, strengthening power grids, and moving the world's most populous nation closer to its climate goals.
Carson, California just greenlighted a 100-megawatt battery storage facility that will stabilize the power grid and bring $2 million in benefits to a community long burdened by pollution. The project represents a major step toward environmental justice for neighborhoods that have carried the weight of fossil fuel emissions for decades.
Norway is sending 40 million euros to help Ukraine prepare for winter by building resilient, decentralized energy systems that can withstand attacks. The funding focuses on renewable power and battery storage to keep the lights on during the heating season.
Norway is investing $45 million to help Ukraine rebuild its power grid with modern, decentralized energy systems before winter arrives. The funding focuses on renewable energy and battery storage that's harder for attacks to disable.
University of Houston researchers just achieved what many thought impossible: electricity flowing with zero resistance at the highest temperature ever recorded under normal pressure. This breakthrough could transform our power grids and save billions in wasted energy.
Norway is sending $45 million to help Ukraine build a smarter, more resilient energy system that can withstand Russian attacks this winter. The funding will support decentralized power sources and renewable energy that's harder to destroy with airstrikes.
America's largest home solar provider just landed the #5 spot on TIME's inaugural list of the world's most impactful companies, proving clean energy is powering real change. The recognition highlights how affordable solar is transforming both family budgets and America's power grid.
Scientists studying rare crimson auroras over Japan discovered the glowing lights reached unexpected heights, suggesting moderate solar storms may be far more powerful than current measurements indicate. The finding could help protect satellites and power grids as space weather becomes more unpredictable.
Spain just proved its power grid can stay standing when disaster strikes. New simulations confirm anti-cascading towers will contain failures and keep millions connected during extreme events.
A new digital platform now shows developers exactly where Europe's power grids have room for solar, wind, and battery projects. The tool covers 27 countries and could dramatically speed up the shift to renewable energy.
Mexico just opened the door for hundreds of renewable energy projects that could transform its power grid. The new program prioritizes solar farms and battery storage systems while showing foreign investors the country is ready for business again.
A South Korean utility just landed its biggest tech deal ever, exporting AI that predicts power outages to Germany. The system has already prevented $24 million in equipment damage back home.
The European Investment Bank just approved €6 billion to power renewable energy, climate-resistant crops, and small businesses across Europe and beyond. From smarter power grids in Germany to new agricultural research, this funding package tackles energy independence and food security together.
Electric vehicles with built-in solar panels could produce up to 80% of their own electricity in sunny climates, slashing charging costs and easing pressure on power grids. A major European study shows this technology could save enough energy to power millions of homes by 2030.
Two completely off-grid, solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations are opening this week along South Africa's N3 highway, transforming one of the continent's busiest freight routes into an electric-friendly corridor. The stations run entirely on sunshine, requiring zero connection to the national power grid.
Two solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations just launched along South Africa's busiest cargo route, proving long-distance EV travel is ready for prime time. The off-grid stations run entirely on sunshine and never need the national power grid.
NASA needs your help studying a massive shock wave that protects Earth from solar wind, and no science degree required. The new Shock Detectives project lets anyone analyze real space data that could help protect our GPS, communications, and power grids.
A 14-story floating cylinder off Spain's coast just connected to the power grid, marking a major step toward turning ocean waves into clean electricity. After years of testing, the technology is finally proving it can survive real sea conditions and deliver power to homes.
A groundbreaking satellite just launched to capture the first-ever images of Earth's invisible magnetic shield, helping scientists predict dangerous solar storms before they knock out power grids and communications. After more than a decade of international teamwork, SMILE will show us what protects our planet from space weather.
New research reveals a surprising climate win: as more people buy electric vehicles, power grids automatically become cleaner. The increased demand for electricity drives investment in renewable energy that benefits all consumers.
