With record numbers of Australians are improving their energy security by buying solar and battery systems as global conflict drives up fuel prices and inflation, the Australian Clean Energy Council (CEC) has released its new Rooftop solar and storage report, January to June 2026.

The world needs more wind energy. But anyone designing new wind turbines or trying to squeeze more power out of existing ones faces a stiff challenge testing new approaches. That’s because the atmosphere is a tough place for a controlled experiment.

Octopus Energy’s generation arm is supercharging its clean energy activity in Ireland, investing in three solar farms, – two of them in County Kildare and one in County Cork, and all three already up and running with a combined capacity of 43 MW - generating clean power for 10,000 Irish homes.

German company Reverion — which manufactures reversible solid-oxide electrolysis/fuel-cell equipment that can both produce hydrogen and use it to generate electricity — has raised $175 million in Series B funding.

Second-hand electric cars are becoming more popular, with some dealerships selling them in less than half the time they did earlier this year, as drivers increasingly turn to them as a more affordable way to access the latest technology and make the switch to electric.

Frédéric Godelmel, EVP Energy Management at Schneider Electric, talks to REM, explaining how automation, storage and demand response can meet the challenge presented by solar generation outpacing the capacity of power grids, by improving resilience, cutting costs and maximising Return On Investment (ROI) from solar.

Las energías renovables aportaron el 55,8% de la generación eléctrica del Reino Unido entre abril y junio de 2026, su mayor cuota trimestral, según el informe Energy Trends, publicado este martes por el Departamento de Seguridad Energética y Cero Emisiones Netas británico, que entre otras cosas destaca que la energía eólica produjo el 27,9%, por encima del 26,8% del gas en dicho período.
