Saudi Arabia is building one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy markets, targeting a jump from 2.84 gigawatts in 2025 to 40.83 gigawatts by 2034. The oil-rich kingdom is betting big on solar power and green hydrogen to transform its economy and cut millions of tons of carbon emissions.
India's second-largest renewable energy company just completed its biggest year ever, powering up enough clean electricity to supply millions of homes. ReNew Energy Global commissioned 2.4 gigawatts of solar, wind, and battery capacity in 2026.
Latvia's solar panels just shattered all previous records, generating nearly three times more electricity in early 2025 than the same period last year. Even better? The country produced more clean energy than it used for the first time in over a year.
Scientists just proved that standing solar panels upright instead of tilting them can generate more clean energy in cloudy Britain. The breakthrough could transform how homes and buildings capture solar power in northern climates.
Spanish scientists created a breakthrough coating that lets solar panels absorb 99.8% of light at key wavelengths, making clean energy even more efficient. The innovation solves a puzzle that's stumped researchers for years: how to make panels super-efficient without sacrificing durability.
A comet from another star system is releasing enough water to fill 70 Olympic pools every day as it passes through our solar system. The rare visitor gives scientists their first chance to study materials from planetary systems far beyond our own.
A Swedish company is bringing a first-of-its-kind ocean platform that harvests wave, wind, and solar energy simultaneously to Costa Rica's Pacific coast. The hybrid system could produce 160% more energy than single-source ocean platforms while cutting costs.
Morocco built one of the world's largest solar power plants in the Sahara Desert, generating clean electricity for over a million homes. The ambitious Noor project proves the country's renewable energy capabilities while highlighting lessons for the future.
Amazon just doubled its renewable energy footprint in Australia by funding nine new wind, solar, and battery projects. The tech giant is turning a former coalmine into a solar powerhouse while racing toward net zero by 2040.
A stadium-sized asteroid will pass closer to Earth than many satellites in 2029, giving millions a once-in-a-lifetime chance to watch it streak across the sky. NASA confirms it poses zero danger and offers scientists a rare opportunity to study a 4.6-billion-year-old piece of our solar system's history.
India's ReNew Energy just completed its biggest year ever, bringing 2.4 gigawatts of renewable power online. The expansion brings clean energy to millions while creating thousands of jobs across 10 states.
India's second-largest renewable energy company just had its biggest year ever, powering up enough clean electricity to avoid 23 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. ReNew Energy commissioned a record 2.4 gigawatts of solar, wind, and battery storage in fiscal year 2026.
In Morocco's Sahara Desert, one of the world's largest solar plants is proving that ambitious renewable energy is possible, even when the road to clean power takes longer than expected. The Noor facility stretches across 1,200 acres and generates electricity even after sunset.
In a country with just 0.8 physicians per 10,000 people, solar-powered medical kiosks are connecting rural Chadians to qualified doctors through video consultations. What started as an app idea became a lifesaving network of high-tech clinics where internet barely exists.
In the Sahara's edge, Morocco built one of the world's largest solar plants using 2 million mirrors to generate electricity even after sunset. The ambitious Noor project shows both the promise and growing pains of Africa's clean energy transition.
Tunisia is inviting private companies to build solar power plants totaling 200 megawatts across the country, bringing the nation closer to clean energy goals. The move marks the sixth round of licensing that's already helped Tunisia reach nearly 1 gigawatt of solar capacity.
A German company just made home solar power as simple as plugging in appliances. The new system cuts installation time and works with hundreds of existing devices.
A groundbreaking spacecraft just revealed that solar wind near the sun's surface moves up to four times faster than scientists thought possible. The discovery could help us better predict space weather that affects Earth.
A major American solar manufacturer is betting big on domestic production with a new factory that will boost US clean energy independence. The expansion shows how American-made solar is gaining serious momentum.
India's second-largest renewable energy company just commissioned its biggest annual expansion ever, adding enough clean power for millions of homes. ReNew Energy's record 2.4 GW addition signals the country's clean energy transition is hitting full stride.
