Ocean Winds, the international offshore wind energy company created by EDP Renewables and ENGIE, has started electricity production at its 30 MW Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion floating offshore wind farm. With first power now delivered to the French grid, the project is already supplying renewable energy to homes and businesses in South of France.
Advancing AI at the speed and scale we’re working toward requires more energy, but today’s clean energy technologies have real limits: solar depends on sunlight, wind depends on weather, and the grid still needs more storage to make the most of both. Meta announced,"That’s why we’re announcing two new partnerships with Overview Energy and Noon Energy that take on these challenges from different angles, bringing innovative energy generation and storage to the grid."
A new study shows that, across Europe, wind farm planning can avoid especially scenic areas without increasing generation costs. However, at the regional level, conflicts remain between landscape conservation and energy objectives, as exemplified in the Alpine region.
Salt River Project has announced an agreement with NextEra Energy Resources to develop 3,000 megawatts (MW) of new solar generation by the end of 2034, or enough capacity to power 595,000 Arizona homes.
Malheur County Economic Development, Ecostrat, and the BDO Zone Initiative announced the issue of a BDO Zone ‘A’ Rating for Malheur County, Oregon. The BDO Zone is the first in North America for dairy and feedlot manure; it is rated for 190,000 wet tons per year and spans a 75-mile drive radius from Nyssa, Oregon.
Natural Resources Wales has approved an application by Menter Môn Morlais Ltd. to vary its existing marine license, allowing different types of tidal technology to be deployed within the Morlais zone.
As pressure on energy costs continues to rise, ComEd helped families and businesses across northern Illinois save a total of $13 billion on their energy bills through its award-winning ComEd Energy Efficiency Program. The program, one of the largest in the nation, offers a range of services and incentives to help customers manage energy use, lower energy costs, while helping the environment.
Green hydrogen is considered key to a climate-friendly transformation of our industries and energy systems, but thus far its production has been expensive, complex, and tied to grid infrastructure. This is exactly where photreon, a KIT spin-off, aims to make a difference. It has developed a photoreactor panel that generates hydrogen directly from sunlight and water – without electrolyzers or electrical power.
An interview with Juan Gutiérrez, CEO Services at RES.
Europe is still building renewables at pace, and the numbers make that clear. WindEurope’s latest annual statistics report points to 45 billion euros invested in new wind energy projects last year, financing the build-out of 21 GW of new capacity in the years ahead.
El contexto actual ha puesto de manifiesto una realidad incómoda: la seguridad energética global sigue estando fuertemente condicionada por factores externos. Tensiones en regiones productoras de petróleo, disrupciones logísticas o eventos climáticos extremos están acelerando una reflexión profunda sobre el modelo energético. En este escenario, los biocombustibles están emergiendo no solo como una herramienta de descarbonización, sino como un pilar clave de resiliencia económica, agrícola y energética. La tendencia es inequívoca y transversal. España cuenta con una base sólida en capacidad industrial, conocimiento tecnológico y potencial agrícola.
