Britain just reached a major clean energy milestone: more than half of its electricity now comes from renewable sources. Wind and solar generation have grown tenfold since 2015, reshaping the nation's power grid.
Wind and solar power pushed Britain's renewable energy past 50% for the second year running, reaching a record 52.5% in 2025. The milestone shows clean energy is now the backbone of the UK's power grid, with wind alone delivering nearly a third of all electricity.
Rising oil prices are pushing drivers toward electric vehicles, and that shift could solve an unexpected problem: sky-high electricity costs. When millions of EVs connect to the grid, they'll act as giant batteries that store cheap renewable energy and release it when needed.
Germany just crossed a historic threshold, generating nearly 60% of its electricity from renewable sources in 2025. This milestone proves clean energy can power major industrial economies.
Clean energy is flooding Europe's power grid so much that electricity prices dropped below zero for over 1,200 hours in early 2026, more than double last year. It's a sign that solar and wind are becoming so abundant, countries are paying people to use power during peak production times.
Kenya is turning surplus renewable energy into electric buses that shield riders from global oil shocks. With 90% renewable electricity and operators saving money, African cities are proving clean transport makes economic sense.
A Swedish renewable energy company just transformed itself to tackle one of Europe's biggest clean transport challenges. Renewable Power Accelerator is now building charging infrastructure for electric freight trucks across the continent.
Chile generated 77% of its electricity from renewable sources in December 2024, leading a global shift where renewables outpaced coal for the first time ever. The South American nation is proving that clean energy transitions can happen faster than expected.
Nine of the world's ten largest economies increased their clean energy use over the past decade, with the UK leading a global shift toward sustainable electricity. New data shows renewable and nuclear power now generates nearly two-thirds of Britain's electricity.
For the first time ever, renewable energy sources generated more electricity than natural gas across an entire month in the United States. Wind, solar, hydropower, and bioenergy produced over a third of US electricity in March 2026, marking a historic turning point in America's energy transformation.
Ethiopia is transforming the Horn of Africa by exporting clean electricity to five countries, turning renewable power into both economic fuel and diplomatic bridge. The country already generates 95% of its electricity from renewables and aims for universal energy access by 2030.
The world is on track to make electricity cleaner and more affordable than ever before. A new roadmap shows how renewable energy could power nearly all of our homes and businesses within the next few decades.
China just hit a historic milestone: renewable energy capacity has overtaken coal-fired power plants for the first time in the world's largest electricity consumer. The shift signals a massive transformation in how the planet's most populous nation powers its future.
Chile's copper mining industry is turning a fuel price crisis into an opportunity by rapidly switching to electric trucks and renewable energy. The shift could save millions while protecting the planet.
Ethiopia just unveiled a bold plan to transform its entire transport system with electric vehicles and renewable energy. The move promises cleaner air, new jobs, and a blueprint for green growth across the nation.
New technology lets electric vehicles send power back to the grid when demand spikes, turning millions of cars into mobile batteries. The innovation could prevent blackouts and make renewable energy more reliable.
Iceland just clinched the top spot in the world's cleanest electricity grids, producing power with barely any carbon emissions. The Nordic nation's secret? An 82% renewable energy mix powered by geothermal heat and rushing water.
For the first time ever, renewable energy and batteries powered more than half of Australia's grid for an entire quarter, sending wholesale electricity prices tumbling 44%. The milestone could mean relief for household energy bills later this year.
The European Union has nearly reached 50% renewable electricity use, tripling its green energy share in just 20 years. Solar power is growing so fast it's expected to become the continent's second-largest clean energy source within years.
Britain generated more than half its electricity from renewable sources for the second year running in 2025, while the government accelerates small nuclear reactor projects to secure clean baseload power for decades ahead.
