Europe just passed a clean energy milestone, with wind and solar surpassing fossil fuels for the first time. Now, a predictable renewable energy source from the ocean is ready to fill the gaps when the sun doesn't shine and wind doesn't blow.
Scotland just secured £15 million to transform its world-leading tidal energy facilities into a testing ground for multi-device arrays. The investment brings ocean power closer to becoming a mainstream clean energy source while creating skilled coastal jobs.
A UK startup just raised $5.6 million to harness tidal energy using fins that mimic how whales and dolphins swim. Their technology could make ocean power as affordable as wind and solar by 2028.
A groundbreaking agreement in Wales will transform an old landfill into a solar farm, powering the first phase of an ambitious tidal lagoon project. The initiative promises thousands of skilled jobs and positions Swansea as a renewable energy leader in Europe.
Ireland just smashed its solar power record, with sunny skies helping renewables generate enough electricity to power over two million homes at once. The milestone shows how quickly clean energy is scaling up across the country.
The world installed a record 165 gigawatts of wind power in 2025, with China alone adding 120 GW as countries turn to homemade energy for security. Wind now powers 138 nations and is proving to be more than clean energy—it's economic independence.
American researchers just created a "digital twin" system that lets engineers perfect tidal turbines before building them, slashing costs and speeding up clean ocean energy. Meanwhile, the largest tidal energy project on Earth is taking shape across the Atlantic.
Britain just greenlit a record-breaking 4.9 gigawatts of solar power, including the largest solar farm ever to win a government contract. The clean energy will power 16 million homes at half the cost of gas power.
America just set a clean energy record that's making electricity cheaper in some states. Solar and wind power supplied nearly one-fifth of the nation's electricity in 2025, with solar leading an expansion that's reshaping how we power our homes.
Chinese scientists successfully beamed 1,180 watts of power over 100 meters to multiple moving targets at once, a major step toward space-based solar energy. The breakthrough could one day power satellites, drones, and remote locations without cables or batteries.
A major clean energy developer just secured World Bank backing to deliver 2.7 gigawatts of renewable power across emerging markets. That's enough clean electricity to power millions of homes while creating thousands of jobs.
India just powered through its highest-ever electricity demand without a single blackout, with solar energy providing more than one-fifth of the load. The milestone proves clean energy can handle massive power needs while the country keeps exporting electricity to neighbors.
Canada just unveiled an ambitious roadmap to harvest clean energy from ocean winds, tides, and waves—enough to power millions of homes while creating 12 billion dollars in economic growth. The plan could transform coastal communities and position Canada as a global leader in marine renewable technology.
An underwater turbine in Scotland has operated continuously for six and a half years without a single repair, shattering durability concerns about ocean energy. The breakthrough could unlock a massive new source of clean, predictable power.
Britain's renewable energy boom is so successful that households will soon be paid to use electricity when wind and solar power exceeds demand. The plan could lower bills while helping the grid balance record clean energy supplies.
Lithuania transformed from 15% to 50% renewable electricity in five years, becoming the fastest green energy transition in the EU. The country now powers 99% of its needs domestically after breaking free from Russian fossil fuels.
Sweden just had its greenest April ever, with wind turbines generating more clean electricity than any previous year. The milestone shows how renewable energy is rapidly becoming the backbone of the nation's power grid.
Engineers at Ghana's largest hydroelectric dam successfully brought a fourth turbine back online Tuesday night, delivering critical relief to a strained national power grid. The breakthrough at 9:09 pm marks a turning point for households and businesses facing recent blackouts.
After unexpected solar outages threatened Texas's power grid, regulators just approved three new standards that will make renewable energy more reliable during emergencies. The changes could prevent blackouts affecting millions of Americans.
Five EU countries with the cleanest energy are saving billions on electricity costs while fossil fuel prices spike. Nations leading in solar and wind power are now 58% better protected from global energy shocks.
