US wind turbine orders surged to 2.8GW in the second quarter of this year – the highest since the fourth quarter of 2023 – as developers rushed to meet tax credit deadlines, according to Wood Mackenzie #windpower #renewables

Spanish renewable energy producer Forestalia Renovables is exploring options to raise capital to develop power plants for data centers, according to people with knowledge of the matter

🚨USDA has just released its latest quarterly U.S. Bioenergy Statistics spreadsheet. Best free source of U.S. #biofuels data. It has a comprehensive history of all relevant stats on #ethanol, #biodiesel, renewable diesel & feedstock.

Donald Trump has declared that the import of wind turbines is a threat to national security – but has so far held off on imposing new tariffs on components. #windpower #renewables

Last year, #renewables supplied 85.6% of all new global power generation capacity. #Solar capacity grew by 510GW and #wind by 159GW, against just 1.5GW for new #nuclear. That’s a 462:1 ratio. Put aside capacity, for actual annual electricity generation output, this means last year, new wind and solar supplied 104 times more usable power than new nuclear.

Every investment in renewable energy is also an opportunity to invest in people, skills and local livelihoods.👩‍🏭 @IRENA's World Energy Transition Outlook 2026 makes the employment potential clear & projects that global #renewable energy employment is projected to reach 84.2 million jobs by 2050, up from around 16 million in 2024.

The sun wasn’t shining brightly in the middle of winter, but its four wind turbines helped this off-grid gold mine achieve 75 pct renewable share over the quarter

Denmark spent decades building nearly 5,000 wind turbines Together, they produced 21.6 TWh in the last 12 months One nuclear plant in Sweden made 23.3 TWh Oh, and nuclear runs 24/7 — wind doesn’t There's one big reason Denmark has some of the most expensive electricity in the world

Fun fact: Sweden has four nuclear reactors that have each generated more electricity than all Danish wind turbines ever. Forsmark 3 and Oskarshamn 3 started in 1985, the year Denmark banned nuclear. Both still ahead of Denmark’s entire wind fleet.

Denmark has some of the most expensive power prices in the OECD (and hence, the world) Still doesn't beat Germany and the record holder UK Prices (IEA end-use prices, retrieved Aug 11, 2026) Household and industry weights (IEA World Energy Balances) Eurostat household prices Eurostat non-household prices Gap-fill for Australia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Japan and Mexico Danish renewable subsidies (2027 Finance Bill §29, 2025 accounts) German EEG account, €16.5bn from the federal budget in 2025 Exchange rates (World Bank)

IRENA says the world is closing in on its 11.2 TW renewables target for 2030, but demand is rising faster than expected. Its 1.5°C pathway now calls for 18.4 TW by 2035 as cooling, heating and AI push power use up. #IRENA #Renewables #Energy

#Renewables are the cheapest, most cost-competitive source of new power in most parts of the world. As power markets running on renewables become more economically viable, greater electricity competitiveness could lead to 15% lower end-user prices by 2050. Find out more👇

Britain is paying up to £50 million a day to balance its grid, switching off wind farms and firing up gas plants because transmission lines can't carry the power. September's £505 million bill was a record, and consumers pay it. #UK #Grid #Energy

Did you know that far less than 1% of land is expected to be used for renewable energy production, even by 2040?⚡ Countering disinformation, addressing public concerns & sharing benefits with local communities are key to building trust in renewables. 👉

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100% RE Last 269 weeks: 98.5% RE (1/5)

Australia has more new renewable energy generation and storage projects lining up to connect to the NEM than it has current generating capacity, new data has shown

Panasonic is accelerating plans to mass-produce solar cells that can be embedded in glass, bolstering Japan’s push into the next-generation technology and expanding renewable energy deployment

India's grid can't keep up with its renewables boom. Grid and transmission limits plus scarce battery storage forced curtailment of 118.6 GW of solar and wind capacity in September, per JMK Research data. #India #Solar #Renewables #Grid

Australia's gas-fired power fell 34% to its lowest Q3 level since 2000 as renewables hit a record 44.3% of generation, AEMO says. Grid-scale battery capacity more than tripled year-over-year. #Australia #Renewables #NaturalGas #Batteries
