Massachusetts has activated long-term contracts for Vineyard Wind, the state’s first utility-scale offshore wind project. Officials say the move will stabilize prices for 20 years and cut a projected $1.4 billion from customer electricity bills over that period.

Ann Arbor is about to test a new way to power homes — and it could become a model for other cities.

Starting this week, energy management company FranklinWH will begin installing solar + battery storage in homes across Ann Arbor, Michigan, as part of a pilot run by the city’s Ann Arbor Sustainable Energy Utility (A2SEU).

Utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage will add more than 80 gigawatts (GW) of new generating capacity in the US by February 28, 2027, while total fossil fuel and nuclear power capacity will fall by almost 5 GW, according to data just released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), which was reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign.

One of the largest convention centers in North America just got a major solar upgrade without needing any extra roof space.

A group of Microsoft suppliers just helped push a small solar farm over the finish line in North Carolina – and it shows how corporate buyers can band together and boost projects that might otherwise stall.

China’s solar exports surged to unprecedented levels in March as a global energy shock is pushing countries to rapidly pivot away from fossil fuels.

The US wind industry bounced back in a big way in 2025, installing 8.2 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity – up 49% from the year before – according to Wood Mackenzie’s latest US Wind Energy Monitor report.

Global energy demand growth slowed in 2025 – but electricity use is still surging, and solar just hit a major milestone, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Suniva is planning a major expansion in US solar manufacturing, with a new 4.5-gigawatt (GW) solar cell factory coming to Laurens, South Carolina.

The US Department of the Interior has missed the final deadline to appeal court rulings allowing five US East Coast offshore wind farms to continue construction.

The UK just approved what will become its largest solar farm yet – and it’s a clear signal of where its energy strategy is headed.

A new utility-scale solar farm just came online in Ohio, and it’s generating power with panels manufactured in-state.

Solar giant Qcells is making a play to get solar and battery storage built into new homes in the US from day one.

The world added a massive 692 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power in 2025, pushing total global capacity to 5,149 GW, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

Solar accounted for more than 72% of US electrical generating capacity added in 2025, with another 16% from wind, according to belatedly released data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign.

bp pulse has broken ground on its first large-scale EV charging hub in Australia – and it’s landing in a high-traffic spot: Melbourne Airport.

For the first time, a home battery is live on a New York City rooftop, opening the door for residential energy storage across the five boroughs.

UK households are racing to ditch fossil fuels amid energy price spikes driven by the US and Israel’s war with Iran, with new data showing a sharp surge in demand for solar, heat pumps, and EV chargers.

Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project, which will be the US’s largest wind farm when it’s complete, has sent its first power to the grid.

Renewable energy provided over a quarter of US electrical generation in January 2026 – 11% more year-over-year – and accounted for over 36% of installed generating capacity, according to data just released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

In 2026, the EIA reports that solar, wind, and batteries added over 55 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity while the net total from fossil fuels and nuclear was less than 1 GW. Projections for 2026 are even more dramatic, according to the SUN DAY Campaign, which reviewed the data.

The US needs a lot more electricity fast, and one company thinks robots can help build it quicker.

Berkeley, California-based Terabase Energy says its next-gen Terafab automated solar construction system has finished field testing and is now ready to ship commercially. Terafab V2 brings autonomous robotics and AI into the way massive solar farms are built.
