Wind power

Wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU during the first six months of 2024 for the first time ever in a half-year period.

In a major milestone, July 28 marked the 100th day of a 144-day stretch in which California supplied 100% of its electricity demand with renewables.

German wind turbine maker Nordex Group today debuted a 5-megawatt (MW) wind turbine for the US market that “significantly increases yield” in lower wind speeds.

Solar and wind now make up more than 20% of total US electrical generating capacity, according to new data from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

China, the world’s largest pollution emitter, is going green with clean energy alternatives and doing so quickly. Recent energy reports detail the nation’s commitment to implementing solar and wind power, so much so that it is expected to achieve its 2030 clean energy targets by the end of the month.

State-owned power company China Three Gorges Renewables Group will build an 8 GW solar farm as part of a nearly $11 billion integrated energy project.

The Pew Research Center surveyed Americans about how they feel about local wind and solar development in their communities – this is what they found.

Mississippi officially launched its first utility-scale wind farm yesterday, and it’s got the tallest onshore wind turbines in the US.

In a record-breaking start to 2024, renewable energy supplied 58.4% of all electricity generated in Germany during Q1 – the highest percentage since tracking began in 2018.

Governments are rolling out renewables at a record pace, and tripling capacity by 2030 is within reach – it’s time to make Paris Agreement targets official.

Renewables are now the second-largest source of US electrical generation behind natural gas, which averaged a 40.5% share during Q1 2024 but fell to 39.4% in March.

Aeromine Technologies just closed a $9 million funding round, and it’s ready to scale up production of its bladeless rooftop wind turbines.

In a major clean energy benchmark, wind, solar, and hydro exceeded 100% of demand on California’s main grid for 69 of the past 75 days.

US renewables’ electrical generating capacity could be close to – and may even surpass – natural gas within three years, according to FERC data.

The 704-megawatt (M) Revolution Wind, Rhode Island and Connecticut’s first utility-scale offshore wind farm, just hit a major milestone.

US grid operators haven’t been practicing long-term transmission planning, but for the first time, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) just made it mandatory.

Booming investment in solar and battery manufacturing is rapidly becoming a powerful global economic driver, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

In a first, German startup Voodin Blade Technology just installed wooden blades on a prototype wind turbine.

Annual US power generation from wind turbines declined in 2023 for the first time since the mid-1990s – here’s why.

Nevada utility NV Energy’s largest battery energy storage system sits on a former coal-fired power plant site and will save customers a lot of money.

Norway has signed a contract with Ventyr Energi to develop Sørlige Nordsjø 2, its first commercial offshore wind farm.
