Renewable Energy Solutions Do More Beyond Generating Power, WEF Says

The World Economic Forum (WEF) says renewable energy solutions like wind, solar, and hydropower have the potential to do more than generate clean energy. In a blog that was recently published as part of its Annual Meeting of the New Champions, the non-governmental organization outlined how green energy solutions could be used to both generate renewable energy and protect air, water, and land quality. According to the WEF, ecological planning and digital technology are increasingly guiding infrastructure projects in the energy sector. China, for instance, is using renewable energy solutions as tools to help create more flexible and adaptable energy…

Q1 Renewables Fraction of the EU’s Energy Mix Reduces YoY

A statement from the European Commission has revealed that the fraction of energy generated from renewable sources in the European Union registered a slight year-on-year drop from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025. According to the commission, green energy contributed to 42.5% of the EU’s energy mix in the first quarter of 2025, a 4.3 percentage point drop compared to Q1 2024. Interestingly, the reduction in wind and hydro energy production was offset by a 14.1 terawatt-hour (TWh) increase in solar energy production. While both wind and hydro production declined from 260.5 TWh to 218.5 TWh between Q1 2024 and Q1…

Why Renewable Energy Glitches Aren’t Necessarily Signals of Failure

Experts say that glitches in renewable energy supply don’t always indicate failure in clean energy systems. When the Iberian Peninsula experienced a blackout that lasted more than 10 hours, some commentators questioned whether renewable energy was to blame. The region gets more than 60% of its electricity from green sources, so when parts of mainland Spain, Portugal, and even areas of France went dark, some assumed that solar or wind systems were the cause. However, Spanish grid operator Red Eléctrica (REE) and Spain’s energy minister rejected those claims, stating that renewables were not the cause of the disruption. A task…

Sunny Greece Grapples with Solar Energy Oversupply

An abundance of sunshine has left Greece dealing with an oversupply of solar energy. Last year, the southeastern European nation drew 23% of its renewable energy capacity from solar, and some experts say the country’s solar energy capacity is growing too fast. With the Greek government planning to achieve 82% renewable energy by the end of the decade, investing in renewables like solar and wind will be key to the country meeting its carbon emission goals. However, solar maintenance worker Nikos Zigomitros says Greece’s sunny weather could be a detriment to its green energy goals. Solar currently contributes around 10…
