Wind power

Renewables accounted for 30.0% of total US electrical generation during the first third of 2026, up 2.2% year over year, according to new data recently released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), and reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign.

DHL is turning to VELA for wind power to help move cargo across the Atlantic.

SunZia, an $11 billion wind-and-power-line project and one of the largest US clean energy transmission projects ever built, is officially online.

New York state has announced a lawsuit against the Interior Department’s illegal $1 billion payment to an oil company to stop development of a wind farm off the New York Coast.

The project would have saved New Yorkers $10 billion and created 1,700 jobs, which would have conflicted with the Department of the Interior’s goals of raising your energy costs.

Fortescue‘s recently-acquired turbine subsidiary Nabrawind has done something that was believed to be impossible: they’ve installed a full-scale, energy producing wind turbine in harsh Namibian conditions using a new, crane-less deployment process.

As everything gets less affordable, republicans are proposing big new inspection fees for cheap energy projects, trying to protect their fossil fuel masters from the rise of better options.

Clean energy developers announced more than 50 new utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects in Q1 2026 as companies scramble to get projects moving before a looming federal deadline tied to Trump’s big bill act passed last year.

If small-scale solar is included, newly released US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign indicates that renewables are on track to surpass natural gas in total electrical generating capacity by early 2027.

Wind and solar just hit a major global milestone: For the first time ever, they generated more electricity than gas for the full month of April.

The Trump administration has effectively frozen 165 new onshore wind farm developments in the US, leaving the projects on private land in limbo, the Financial Times reported yesterday. Combined, they represent around 30 gigawatts of electric generating capacity.

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.

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.

A US District court ruled against republican attempts to block deployment of wind and solar projects that could help to reduce US electricity costs as energy prices spike worldwide.

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.

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.

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 world just added a record amount of wind and solar in 2025, and it’s not even close.

China’s clean energy boom is saddled with a major challenge: what to do with all its old wind and solar equipment.

GE Vernova has landed orders to repower 1.1 gigawatts (GW) of onshore wind turbines across the US.

European energy giant Vattenfall has started construction on a new hybrid renewable energy project in southwest Germany that combines wind and solar power at a single site.
