A groundbreaking urban sustainability initiative in Copenhagen is redefining what’s possible in circular city design and energy efficiency. The Urban Loop Project, a 12-hectare mixed-use development, is not only integrating advanced circular economy principles but is also generating 15% more energy than it consumes. This achievement is made possible through state-of-the-art photovoltaic systems and smart grid technology, setting a new benchmark for sustainable urban development worldwide.

Data centers are already among the world’s hungriest power users, and artificial intelligence (AI) is pushing their energy consumption to new heights. The International Energy Agency expects data centers’ electricity use to more than double by 2030,

In the realm of security and defence, photovoltaics (PV) is emerging as an unconventional yet promising hero, offering a sustainable and stealthy alternative to traditional power sources. Remote monitoring systems, increasingly popular in both privat

AMEA Power, Japan’s Kyuden International Corporation, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have joined forces to develop a groundbreaking solar and battery storage project in Egypt’s Aswan Governorate. This initiative, valued at over $700

Poland has taken a significant step in its energy transition, awarding 3.4 gigawatts (GW) of capacity across three offshore wind projects in its first-ever competitive auction. The Energy Regulatory Office announced the results, revealing that four b

The European Union has just rewritten the rulebook for automotive decarbonization. In a bold move announced December 16, 2025, the EU Commission relaxed its 2035 ban on internal combustion engines, opening the door for climate-neutral e-fuels to power a new generation of vehicles. This policy pivot, responding to intense industry lobbying and technological reality, marks the first time a major economy has formally recognized synthetic fuels as a viable path to net-zero transport—alongside electrification.

The Trump administration has ordered the last coal-fired power plant in Washington state to remain operational, citing an alleged energy emergency in the region. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) directed TransAlta, a Calgary-based independent powe

Vestas has secured a significant turbine supply order from Brazilian renewable energy company Casa dos Ventos for the Dom Inocêncio wind complex, marking a notable development in Brazil’s wind energy sector. The project, located in the wind-rich sout

Encavis has expanded its German onshore wind portfolio with the acquisition of the 34MW Bebensee wind farm from PNE Group. Located approximately 45km northeast of Hamburg in Schleswig-Holstein, the wind farm has been operational for two months and co

A groundbreaking study published this week in ScienceDirect introduces an advanced energy management system for microgrids, leveraging the combined power of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency, cost savings, and resilience—especially under extreme weather conditions. The system, tested on a 6 kW solar microgrid, demonstrated a 31.8% increase in battery participation during peak loads and a 17% reduction in daily operational costs compared to traditional systems. This innovation marks a significant leap forward in the quest for sustainable, decentralized energy solutions that can adapt to the unpredictable challenges posed by climate change.
