Europe installed 6.8 GW of new wind farms in the first six months of the year. According to WindEurope, it isn’t nearly enough to deliver the EU’s 2030 energy security and climate targets. WindEurope has also reduced the 2025 outlook for wind investments. In its latest wind energy data for Europe, the organization highlighted the […]
The European Commission plans to propose measures by the end of the year to prevent exporters to the European Union from avoiding the bloc’s carbon border tax. Brussels fears exporters from third countries could ship low-emission goods to the EU, while selling high-carbon products in other markets, without reducing their overall emissions, Reuters reported. The […]
A new generation of sodium-ion batteries, developed and manufactured in Estonia, offers a safer, more sustainable, and more affordable alternative to lithium-based energy storage systems. The newly developed batteries are modular and scalable, allowing them to meet the needs of a wide range of users — from homeowners and farmers to commercial and industrial operators. Estonian […]
Three reactor projects offered by EDF and Westinghouse have been assessed as technically feasible for the site of the future Krško 2 nuclear power plant, according to technical feasibility studies presented by GEN Energija during the announcement of its 2024 results. GEN Group ended last year with a EUR 186 million profit, down 9% from […]
WindEurope expects Greece to add 300 MW of wind capacity in 2025, after installing 152 MW during the first half of the year. This is an improvement on the mere 108 MW added in 2024, but still far below previous years. For example, in 2023, the country added 544 MW of new wind farms. According […]
Montenegro’s state-owned power utility, Elektroprivreda Crne Gore, has launched a tender for the procurement and installation of two battery energy storage systems with a total capacity of 60 MW/240 MWh. Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) is seeking a partner for the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of two battery energy storage systems (BESS), each with […]
An international consortium led by South Korean state-owned Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) has launched an overhaul of a reactor at Romania’s only nuclear power plant, Cernavodă. The refurbishment will extend the operating life of Cernavodă’s Unit 1 by 30 years. The reactor, with a capacity of around 700 MW, has been in […]
Half of Africa’s population still lacks access to electricity, but a record surge in solar panel imports could signal a turning point. A report by the Ember research center shows a 60% increase in solar panel imports from China to Africa. Although it is too early to make forecasts, the report suggests that the solar […]
For centuries, the Adriatic Sea has cooled the Mediterranean, but today it is sending warmer waters down south as it heats up much faster than projected. Deep water temperatures forecast for the end of the century are already being recorded, threatening ecosystems, the climate, and coastal communities, according to a study by scientists from Croatia, […]
The world’s total capacity of solar power plants has increased by 380 MW in the first half of 2025. It is a 64% increase compared to the same period last year, according to Ember. In the first six months of 2024 the world added 232 GW. It took until September that year for new solar […]
