A new report, Cutting Carbon, Cutting Bills, finds that Northern Ireland avoided £219 million for gas and carbon costs in 2025 due to renewable electricity.

The Kilburnie wind turbine has completed its first full week of operations, becoming Scotland’s first community-owned development to operate commercially without long-term government subsidies.

SolarDuck, a pioneer in Offshore Floating Solar Technology, announced the launch of a high-level Advisory Board to accelerate the integration of its solutions within the offshore CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) and offshore energy sectors.

An e-fuel (electrofuel) is a synthetic fuel made using green hydrogen from the electrolysis of water in combination with captured carbon dioxide. e-Fuels are compatible with existing infrastructure and are a drop-in replacement for fossil fuels. In the short-to-medium term, IDTechEx forecasts in its "Sustainable Biofuels & E-Fuels Market 2026-2036: Technologies, Players, Forecasts" report that demand for sustainable fuels will be mostly met by lower cost pathways (such as HEFA and other biofuel routes) instead of e-fuels. 

HydroWing Tidal Energy Projects, part of Inyanga Marine Energy Group, has been awarded a further 10MW for its Ynni’r Lleuad Project at Morlais in Wales.

ees Europe will take place from June 23–25, 2026 – for the first time from Tuesday to Thursday – as part of The smarter E Europe, Europe’s largest alliance of exhibitions for the energy industry, at Messe München.

The Michigan Public Service Commission has recently approved two major agreements negotiated between environmental advocates, MPSC staff, the Attorney General’s office, and utilities that will help Michiganders reduce energy consumption and save money.

The joint venture between bp and Iberdrola – Castellón Green Hydrogen SL – has announced that its 25 MW green hydrogen project, which will be the largest operating in Spain, has reached 90 percent completion of its assembly phase and has 100 percent of the equipment on site.

Andersen EV has welcomed last week’s expansion of the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) grant for home charger installations and is strengthening support for homeowners with an additional £50 contribution towards the installation of an Andersen charge point.

The UK Government finally announced the £15 billion Warm Homes Plan late last month, aiming to provide funding for solar, heat pumps and home batteries. This has generated fresh attention with regard to whether this investment will genuinely bring down energy bills or merely risk adding to system costs without the right coordination.

Chris Bernkopf, CEO of Austrian software company Podero, believes that without the use of home energy devices, consumers will continue to foot the bill for expensive grid upgrades, even as the adoption of low-carbon tech accelerates.

REM talked to Chris about how homes can actively support the energy system, easing pressure on the grid, reducing infrastructure costs and helping households to achieve faster and more meaningful savings.

En su edición de 2026, ees Europe se centrará en dilucidar qué papel desempeñarán en el futuro los acumuladores industriales dentro del sistema energético y cómo se materializaría concretamente su aplicación económica. Según datos de SolarPower Europe, en el año 2025 su crecimiento fue del 45 %. Los responsables de este boom fueron, sobre todo, los grandes sistemas de acumuladores. El crecimiento fue del 31 % en el caso de los acumuladores industriales. La feria especializada en baterías y sistemas acumuladores de energía más grande de Europa se celebra en Múnich del 23 al 25 de junio de 2026 como parte de The smarter E Europe, la mayor alianza de ferias del sector energético de Europa donde las empresas presentan sus últimas tecnologías y modelos comerciales.
