Researchers at Norway's SINTEF have found that solar PV in Longyearbyen, one of the world's northernmost inhabited settlements, can achieve capacity factors comparable to central European cities during summer. The study shows that PV, combined with wind and storage, could play a pivotal role in the Arctic energy transition.
A new 54 MW ground-mounted solar farm in Gerbstedt, Germany, shares its grid connection point with an existing 26.4 MW wind park on the same site. The approved hybrid grid concept cuts infrastructure costs and sets a noteworthy precedent for co-located renewable projects.
The U.S. Department of Energy has published a comprehensive strategy to advance offshore wind energy development. The plan signals long-term federal commitment to renewable energy expansion and offers lessons for grid integration and energy storage globally.
The US federal government is channeling $700 million into ageing coal plants, even as solar and wind power consistently undercut fossil fuels on price. The move reveals the political friction slowing an energy transition that market forces are already driving forward.
Sunly and Rolls-Royce have signed the largest battery storage agreement in Baltic history, marking a major milestone for grid-scale energy storage in the region. The deal highlights growing corporate interest in large-scale storage as the Baltics prepare to synchronize with the EU electricity grid.
A recent NERC compliance deadline is reshaping how owners and operators of solar, wind, battery storage, and hybrid assets must document and test their grid interconnection. Radian Generation experts break down the key requirements.
Germany, France, Spain and Portugal all set new daily solar generation records in late May 2026, according to Aleasoft Energy Forecasting. Germany produced 503 GWh of photovoltaic electricity in a single day, while increased renewables output pushed down wholesale power prices in several European markets.
Wind and solar energy continue their strong growth in the US, and solid-state EV batteries are gaining real traction in China — but Tesla's Robotaxi program is struggling to build momentum. A mixed picture for the clean energy and electric mobility landscape.
The U.S. electric grid is heading for a record-breaking year, with 86 GW of new utility-scale capacity planned for 2026 according to EIA data. Solar and battery storage will account for nearly 80% of all additions, accelerating the country's energy transition as renewables hit 26% of total electricity generation.
A Massachusetts federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction halting five Trump administration orders that were obstructing solar and wind energy development under federal oversight. The ruling is a significant win for the US renewable energy sector.
A federal judge in Massachusetts has temporarily blocked several of the Trump administration's moves against renewable energy developers. The ruling is seen as a significant legal win for the clean energy transition in the United States.
