Report Says Solar will Remain a Pivotal Energy Source for Data Centers

Solar power is set to remain central to how data centers meet their growing energy needs, even as concerns about intermittency persist. A new report from global real estate advisory firm JLL argues that rising electricity prices and stricter carbon rules are forcing operators to rethink long-term power strategies, with solar emerging as the most practical renewable option. According to JLL’s 2026 Global Data Center Outlook, the shift away from fossil fuels is no longer driven only by sustainability targets. Cost pressures are becoming decisive. The report notes that green energy is expected to undercut fossil fuels on price across…

Google Buys 1.2GW of Renewable Energy for its US Data Centers

Google is stepping up its push for cleaner power with the announcement of plans to secure nearly 1.2 gigawatts of carbon-free electricity for its U.S. data centers. Rising electricity demand from cloud computing and artificial intelligence is placing increasing strain on power grids nationwide. In response, Google is focusing less on carbon offsets and more on bringing new clean generation online in the same regions where its data centers draw power. The energy will come through a series of long-term agreements with Clearway Energy Group, tied to new wind and solar projects in West Virginia, Missouri, and Texas. Amanda Peterson…

IRENA Calls for Additional Efforts Boosting Equitable Access to Off-Grid Renewables

The International Renewable Energy Agency is calling for stronger and more coordinated efforts to expand equitable access to off-grid renewable energy, warning that recent progress is failing to reach many of the communities that need it most. While deployment has accelerated globally, IRENA says gaps remain particularly stark in remote and low-income regions where off-grid systems are often the only viable option for electricity access. Global off-grid renewable capacity climbed to 11.1 gigawatts in 2024, supplying power to roughly 86 million people worldwide, according to the agency’s latest data. But IRENA cautions that headline growth figures mask uneven outcomes on…

GlobalData Predicts Impending US Renewable Energy Boom

Renewable energy capacity in the United States is still on track for dramatic growth, even as offshore wind projects face mounting political and regulatory pressure. New projections from GlobalData suggest that solar and onshore wind will continue reshaping the power sector over the next decade, outweighing near-term disruptions tied to federal policy shifts. According to the data and analytics firm, total renewable generation capacity is expected to rise from roughly 414.5 gigawatts in 2024 to about 1.06 terawatts by 2035. Clean energy technologies are projected to account for most new power additions over that period, driven by a mix of…

Debunking 5 Common Renewable Energy Myths

Debates around renewable energy often generate plenty of heat and controversy. As climate pressures intensify and clean power expands worldwide, misunderstandings continue to shape public opinion and policy resistance. Consequently, sorting fact from fiction is important as these myths have the power to influence whether communities accept new projects and whether governments move fast enough to cut emissions. Rooftop solar is prohibitively expensive. Solar power once carried a steep price tag, but decades of manufacturing advances have flipped the economics. Panels that cost tens of dollars per watt in the late twentieth century now sell for a fraction of that.…

European Study Maps Optimal Routes for Renewable Hydrogen Transportation

A European study has mapped optimal routes for renewable hydrogen transportation across the EU, revealing which delivery methods offer the best balance between cost and environmental impact. The research addresses a critical obstacle in Europe's decarbonization plans: moving hydrogen efficiently over long distances at low cost. The European Commission's Joint Research Center (JRC) conducted the analysis by integrating economic evaluation with life-cycle environmental impact assessment. Researchers modeled hydrogen generated using renewable electrolysis at Portuguese facilities and shipped to the Netherlands, covering roughly 2,500 kilometers (1,553 miles) to mirror realistic European import pathways. Five delivery pathways were examined: liquid hydrogen, compressed…

5 European Cities Shining in Sustainability Efforts

Five European cities are shining in sustainability efforts, demonstrating how urban centers can leverage technology and innovation to create more livable, environmentally responsible environments. From revolutionary transport systems to circular economies, these municipalities are proving that smart city solutions can balance growth with environmental protection while enhancing residents’ quality of life. Vienna: The Austrian capital exemplifies how resident wellbeing and urban advancement can progress together without compromise. Through TINA Vienna, the city has come up with intelligent strategies to support electric mobility, installing 440 charging locations while targeting renewable resources to meet half its energy requirements. Neighborhood redevelopment in heavily…

Data Centers Could Accelerate Africa’s Energy Transition

Data centers could become the unexpected catalyst that finally modernizes Africa's energy infrastructure. The continent's explosive digital growth is creating massive demand for reliable electricity, and that appetite is attracting the type of capital investment that has historically avoided African power grids. Africa's data center market reached $3.49 billion in 2024 and is poised to hit $6.81 billion by 2030, rising at an 11.79% annual growth rate according to the African Energy Chamber's 2026 Outlook Report. Energy demand for these facilities is projected to grow at an annual rate of 9% between 2024 and 2030, reaching 2 GW by decade's…

Data Shows 2025 Approvals for Renewable Energy Projects Reached Record Levels in Britain

Britain greenlit a historic number of renewable energy projects in 2025, with permissions nearly doubling compared to the previous year. Combined capacity for battery, wind, and solar installations that received approval reached 45GW, marking a 96 percent jump from 2024 figures, according to Cornwall Insight analysis. Battery storage led the charge, with permissions climbing to 28.6GW from 14.9GW the year prior. Offshore wind projects saw even more explosive growth, surging more than sevenfold to 9.9GW from just 1.3GW. Across the past five years, authorizations for these three technologies have increased over 400 percent. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said his government…

Report Shows Renewables are Triggering Global Reductions in Power Prices

Wind and solar energy deliver the most economical electricity generation despite political assertions that clean technologies inflate consumer bills, Zero Carbon Analytics research indicates. Analysis revealed that nine-tenths of recently constructed large-scale renewable installations produce power at costs lower than the cheapest newly built fossil fuel plants. Land-based wind turbines currently generate the globe's most affordable fresh electrical capacity. Referencing International Renewable Energy Agency findings, researchers found that terrestrial wind facilities deliver electricity 53% cheaper than the lowest-cost carbon-based alternatives, while renewable installations combined with storage batteries steadily match fossil generation economics across major territories. Contrary to renewable affordability evidence,…
