Balcony-Solar Could Be a Game-Changer in Clean Energy

With over 3,000 residents in the minimalist housing complex Möckernkiez embracing balcony solar panels, Germany has now installed more than one million balcony solar systems. The compact panels, which attach to balconies and building facades, allow renters and apartment dwellers to produce electricity without rooftop access or the property ownership requirements that typically restrict solar adoption. Möckernkiez, a cooperative housing complex in central Berlin, exemplifies the trend. The car-free development installed 70 balcony panels two years ago after residents proposed the initiative to supplement existing biogas and rooftop solar infrastructure that was serving 3,000 occupants across 471 apartments. Technical director…

Retired Officers Say Defense Budgets Should Fund Renewable Energy Projects

A coalition of retired senior military officers has called for renewable energy investments to be classified as defense expenditures, arguing that climate-related threats constitute legitimate national security concerns. Former European commanders contend that allocating resources toward low-carbon power generation would strengthen resilience against potential adversaries while reducing dependence on hostile nations controlling fossil fuel supplies. NATO members have committed to spending 3.5% of GDP on armed forces and core military capabilities, with an additional 1.5% designated for critical infrastructure including civil preparedness. The retired officers argue that renewable energy projects should qualify under the 1.5% infrastructure allocation. Their letter to…

Megabatteries are Driving the Renewable Energy Transition

Mega batteries are playing a critical role in the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives. While green energy sources are undoubtedly cleaner than fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, they are plagued by one major issue that could impact their rollout: intermittency. Unlike fossil fuels, which can generate energy at any time at very high efficiency, renewables are beholden to external factors such as weather and time, which determine the amount of clean energy they can generate. For instance, solar energy projects can only generate electricity during the day and reach peak production during a small…

Spain’s Data Centers Absorb Renewables to Workaround Grid Saturation

Data centers in Spain are absorbing excess green energy capacity due to grid saturation that has left the country's electrical nodes unable to admit new renewable energy demand. It is a common problem among economies that have made major investments in green energy production without making sufficient upgrades to their electrical grids. As solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources generate more clean energy than their grids can reasonably admit, connection bottlenecks form and green energy projects have to wait months or even years before they can sell their clean energy. Spain is avoiding this eventuality by using data centers…

23 States Sue to Challenge Trump’s Halt to Clean Energy Projects

Twenty-three states have filed lawsuits challenging the Trump administration's decision to terminate a $7 billion federal solar program designed to expand clean energy access for low-income households nationwide. California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the twin lawsuits on Thursday, targeting Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin for cancelling Solar for All funding grants to nearly two dozen states in August. The program aimed to help disadvantaged communities install residential solar panels and battery storage systems, reducing electricity costs while advancing renewable energy adoption. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes estimates the cancellation will impact 900,000 low-income families across the country. Arizona…

Apple Ramps Up its Clean Energy Projects in Europe

American tech giant Apple is funding a fresh wave of large-scale solar and wind projects across Europe, from Spain and Greece to Poland, Romania and Latvia. Cumulatively, these developments are expected to add roughly 650 megawatts of new zero-carbon capacity and unlock more than $600 million in project finance. The initiatives are designed to supply additional clean electricity to regional grids, reducing the carbon footprint associated with charging and operating consumer devices across the European continent. Product use accounted for about 29 percent of Apple’s 2024 greenhouse gas footprint, which explains why customer electricity is a core emissions stream for…

WEF Calls for Systems Thinking to Leverage Energy Nexus

The World Economic Forum is urging leaders to adopt systems leadership, a collective approach that views energy not as a single sector but as the backbone connecting water, food, health, and environmental stability. Fragmented decision-making, the forum warns, keeps policies disjointed and limits progress toward sustainable development goals. Professor Alan Dangour of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine argues that a systems view is essential to manage trade-offs, capture cross-sector benefits, and deliver fair, sustainable climate transitions. South Africa’s renewable energy program offers a glimpse of what integrated planning can achieve. Over roughly a decade, the country expanded…

Global Clean Energy Generation Now Exceeds Coal Energy

Wind and solar farms generated more electricity than coal plants during the first half of 2025, marking the first time renewable energy surpassed coal globally. Climate research organization Ember reported that renewables outpaced worldwide electricity demand growth, triggering small declines in coal and gas consumption. Solar power generation jumped nearly one-third compared to the same 2024 period, meeting 83% of global electricity demand increases while wind grew just over 7%. Małgorzata Wiatros-Motyka, senior electricity analyst at Ember and report author, described the milestone as a crucial turning point. Solar and wind now grow fast enough to satisfy rising electricity demand…

US, China Policy Changes Cloud Global Renewables Outlook

With major economies like China and the U.S. retreating from their climate commitments, the International Energy Agency recently cut its renewable capacity projection for 2030 by nearly 900 gigawatts. The Paris-based organization now expects 4,600 gigawatts of renewable capacity by decade's end compared to last year's 5,500 gigawatt forecast, effectively confirming failure to achieve the international target of tripling clean energy deployment by 2030. American projections dropped sharply following the Trump administration's elimination of federal tax credits through recent legislation. These incentives previously made capital-intensive projects financially viable, and their removal has forced developers to reconsider or abandon plans across…
