Renewable Energy covers the generation that is being built out: onshore and
offshore wind, solar from utility-scale projects down to rooftop installations,
auction results and strike prices. Grid-scale storage and battery factories
belong here too, because they are what makes that generation dispatchable, along
with hydrogen across the whole chain — electrolysers, import schemes, transport
and storage.
This category runs on figures that are easy to confuse: installed capacity is
not generated energy, an auction award is not a construction start, and an
announcement is not a commissioning. Where a report quotes such numbers, the
reference period and the source belong with them, and both are in the article.
Grids and connections, without which no farm feeds anything in, are covered
under Energy & Grid; offshore installation vessels and
ports sit under Shipping & Offshore.
Germany's latest solar auction drew bids for 3,170 MW against a 2,135 MW target, with average prices dipping to 4.79 ct/kWh. New PV installations rose 1.3% in the first seven months of 2026.
ScottishPower Renewables and Masdar have finished installing all 95 foundations at the 1.4 GW East Anglia THREE offshore windfarm, moving the project closer to full operation by the end of 2026.
Cadeler has acquired German foundation specialist Menck, gaining data and engineering expertise, while finishing turbine installation at the 960 MW He Dreiht wind farm.
Nordex Group has received an order from EFG Energy Farming Group for 12 wind turbines totaling around 82 MW in Lower Saxony. The projects are scheduled for commissioning in spring 2028.
India's SECI has discovered a record-low tariff of ₹5.25 per unit for round-the-clock renewable energy, positioning it against firm power sources like thermal and nuclear.
India added a record 55.29 GW of non-fossil capacity in FY2025-26, but grid constraints led to 8,133 GWh of solar curtailment, prompting experts to call for storage and adoption.
Clearway Energy Group has signed a deal with T1 Energy for 641 MW of solar modules built with domestic cells, while also seeking to convert a Nevada solar project into a data center and gas facility.
Greenvolt Power has inaugurated a 200 MW/800 MWh battery storage facility in Turośń Kościelna, Poland, and is finalizing a second project of the same scale, as storage gains ground in the country's capacity market.
A startup's deeper well has brought a struggling New Mexico geothermal plant back to full output, a milestone for an industry now drawing record investment.
France has selected five ports for nearly €260 million in funding to prepare infrastructure for its 6 GW floating offshore wind target, complementing a €63 billion CfD scheme cleared by the EU Commission.
Denmark's flagship Bornholm Energy Island project has seen its onshore building costs balloon by 1.7 billion kroner, an 85% overrun, raising questions about cost control.
FIC buys a 1.15 GW Texas solar-plus-storage platform, Plentify and Deye plan a 2.7 GWh VPP in South Africa, MaxSolar picks Sungrow for 125 MWh in Germany, and Eku Energy acquires a 600 MWh UK battery project.
Nordex Group booked 3.1 GW of orders in Q2 2026, a 32% year-on-year increase, with a notable 800 MW from the US and a 700 MW framework from developer UKA in Germany.
A German industry association is urging policymakers to fast-track offshore wind reforms, warning that delays could jeopardize the country's 2030 renewable energy goals.
Cierco has obtained a marine licence for a floating offshore wind demonstrator project off the coast of Wales, marking a step forward for the region's renewable energy ambitions.
