Norway's Statkraft just signed a deal for two massive battery systems in Finland that will smooth out wind power's ups and downs, making clean energy more reliable. It's a breakthrough solution as Finland's wind capacity nearly tripled in just four years.
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.
A wind farm in Djibouti is installing smart technology that detects birds and bats near turbines, preventing collisions while generating clean energy. It's the first time this life-saving system has been used anywhere in Africa.
Snack and pet food giant Mars just locked in 670 gigawatt hours of clean electricity annually from Sweden's new Kölvallen Wind Farm. The deal marks one of the company's biggest renewable energy commitments in Europe and brings Mars closer to cutting its total carbon footprint by 10% by 2030.
China added more renewable energy in 2024 than the rest of the world combined, installing a record 318 GW of solar and 120 GW of wind power. The country now manufactures over 80% of the world's solar panels and may have already hit peak carbon emissions years ahead of schedule. #
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.
After wind turbines arrived in Ford County, Kansas, roads got fixed, schools were rebuilt, and dozens of new houses went up for the first time in decades. Now communities across America are discovering that harvesting wind can be just as profitable as traditional crops.
A helium-supported wind turbine just generated clean electricity while floating more than 6,500 feet above a Chinese city. This sky-high innovation could unlock powerful winds that ground-based turbines can't reach.
A helium blimp carrying 12 wind turbines just generated enough clean energy from high altitudes to power a house for nearly two weeks. This floating innovation could bring reliable electricity to remote communities and space-strapped nations.
A helium-powered wind turbine floating more than a mile above a Chinese city just generated enough electricity to power hundreds of homes. The sky might be the next frontier for clean energy.
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.
Sweden just distributed €67 million to local municipalities that host wind power installations, sharing clean energy profits directly with communities. The payment system rewards towns for supporting renewable infrastructure while funding local services.
Giant batteries storing renewable energy grew from 10 gigawatts to 124 gigawatts worldwide between 2019 and 2024, while costs dropped by more than half. This explosive growth is helping solar and wind power reliably meet electricity demand even when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.
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.
