Europe poured €45 billion into new wind energy projects in 2025, building enough capacity to power millions more homes. The massive investment strengthens the continent's energy independence while creating jobs and cutting reliance on fossil fuels.
American clean energy investment reached $120 billion in 2025, proving the renewable energy transition continues to accelerate even during uncertain times. Companies are now using clean energy tax credits as a standard business strategy, with nearly a quarter of Fortune 1000 firms participating.
Nine European nations just committed to building enough offshore wind farms to power 100 million homes by 2050. The ambitious plan could create 90,000 jobs while slashing electricity costs by 30% over the next 15 years.
America's clean energy revolution is accelerating faster than anyone predicted. Solar, wind, and battery storage will account for every bit of new power capacity added to the grid this year.
Rutgers researchers created a forecasting tool that makes offshore wind energy more reliable by predicting conditions at multiple heights on massive turbines. The breakthrough could help renewable energy better power millions of homes along the East Coast.
America's largest offshore wind farm is back on track after a legal victory, with turbines set to start powering 660,000 homes by late March. Despite costly setbacks, the project is 70% complete and customers are protected from future cost increases.
Japan just brought its first commercial-scale floating wind farm online, marking a major milestone as the island nation tackles deep ocean waters where traditional turbines can't reach. While some countries pause on wind energy, Japan is proving the technology works.
A German energy company is building a groundbreaking power plant that combines wind turbines and solar panels on a single grid connection, slashing infrastructure costs while delivering cleaner energy. This smart pairing could transform how renewable energy gets built across Europe.
A groundbreaking partnership just launched to fast-track offshore wind projects worldwide, and Chile is leading the charge as the first country to sign up. The initiative pairs global coordination with hands-on technical support to help nations harness ocean winds for clean power.
While some countries pull back on renewables, China installed more solar and wind capacity in 2024 than the US and India combined. The country now generates three times the clean energy of its closest competitors, helping drive down costs worldwide.
Italian energy company Enel just announced a massive €53 billion investment plan to accelerate renewable energy and grid improvements across three continents. The ambitious three-year strategy will add enough clean energy capacity to power millions more homes while creating jobs in some of the world's fastest-growing markets.
Turkey just crossed a major clean energy milestone, with solar and wind power now making up one-third of the country's total electricity capacity. The achievement marks a dramatic shift for a nation that had virtually zero renewable capacity two decades ago.
A massive wind farm in New Mexico is quietly making history as the largest renewable energy project ever built in America. Despite political headwinds, construction is advancing on a 3,500-megawatt facility that will power the Southwest starting in 2026.
Nine European countries just committed to building the world's largest offshore wind hub in the North Sea, capable of powering 50 million homes. The massive clean energy project promises to boost Europe's energy independence while the US doubles down on fossil fuels.
MidAmerican Energy is expanding radar systems that keep wind turbine warning lights off until planes actually approach, reducing light pollution across Iowa's countryside. The technology has been so successful that it keeps lights off up to 98% of the time while still protecting aircraft.
Virginia's first land-based wind farm is under construction in Botetourt County, bringing clean energy and economic growth to the community. The 75-megawatt Rocky Forge Wind Project will power Google's data centers while creating hundreds of jobs and millions in tax revenue.
Nine European countries are building the world's largest offshore wind farm in the North Sea, capable of powering 50 million homes. The project marks a major shift toward energy independence as nations move away from reliance on imported fossil fuels.
The global wind industry just hit a historic milestone with 150 gigawatts of new capacity in 2025, and the Philippines has emerged from the sidelines to become one of Asia's most promising clean energy markets. After years of untapped potential, new policies are turning the island nation into an investment hotspot.
Australia's electricity grid crossed a historic milestone as renewable energy supplied more than half of all power for the first time. The breakthrough came alongside record investment and the fastest buildout of clean energy projects the nation has ever seen.
