China's doubling down on grid infrastructure ⚡🏗️
China will add 15 ultra-high voltage (UHV) lines by 2030, connecting ~200 GWh of renewable power to the grid 📈
Generation gets the headlines, but transmission is what makes large-scale decarbonization actually work 🔌🌱

Singapore has raised its 2030 solar target to 3 GW, increasing the goal by 1 GW 📈🎯
The next phase will focus on scaling solar with innovation, like solar canopies over open-air car parks.
For a land-constrained country, this is a testament to their it’s about smart deployment 👏
Solar panels 🤝 Rainstorms
A new hybrid solar cell can generate electricity from both sunlight and falling raindrops by combining the PV & Trio triboelectric effect
...Translation? Cloudy, rainy days don’t have to mean zero generation...making renewable tech more resilient than ever 🙌
🌍 The transition to a low-carbon future isn’t just about technology...it’s about people, communities, and collaboration.
That’s why we’ve created the Community Energy Roadmap: a free guide designed to help anyone interested in starting a community energy group and developing renewable projects ♻️🔋
🌬️ Scotland’s first subsidy-free community wind farm is live!
The 2.5MW wind turbine is fully community-owned and runs without government subsidies, generating enough clean energy for 2,000+ homes and cutting 3,000+ tonnes of CO₂ annually.
All profits go to funding local schemes too 🙌
💡 £10 million to help Wales communities slash energy bills!
The Welsh Government is launching a third round of funding to help communities generate clean energy, cut costs, create jobs, and build stronger local infrastructure.
Eligible projects: solar panels, heat pumps and more...open to CEGs ⚡🌱
Big milestone for clean transport in Australia 🚛☀️
A battery-electric refrigerated trailer, powered by onboard solar panels, has completed a 1,671 km round trip between Sydney and Brisbane 🤯
Clean energy isn’t just powering homes — it’s transforming freight. 🌱❄️
🐾 It’s World Wildlife Day! 🌞🌼
Solar farms can be unexpected heroes for biodiversity. When designed thoughtfully, they generate clean energy and support native wildflowers, pollinators, birds, and small mammals — all without harmful chemicals.
Clean power + thriving ecosystems? Yes, please. 🐝🦋
🌍 Power where it matters most: home.
Community energy lets towns and neighbourhoods generate their own electricity, lower bills, greener grids, and local control. ♻️🏘️
Get involved with Community Energy Connect, our free platform that matches you with a local group based on your skills and schedule.
The Local Power Plan is here, bringing a £1 billion boost to support local energy projects 🤩
After months of anticipation, the details are finally out, showing how communities can benefit and take charge of their energy future.
Curious about what this means for your town or neighbourhood? 👇
Solar momentum is building in India ☀️
After installing ~37.8 GW in 2025, including a 54% jump in utility-scale and a 72% surge in rooftop, the country is expected to add ~42.5 GW in 2026.
From mega solar parks to rooftops, deployment is accelerating 🙌
Renewables just hit a new high in the United States.
In 2025, wind, solar and other clean sources generated 1,162 terawatt-hours of electricity...up 10% from the year before 📈
That’s 26% of all U.S. power. Enough to supply about 108 million homes for a year 🏘
China’s energy transition just hit an interesting milestone.
In 2025:
🔋 Energy demand went UP 3.5%
🌍 But emissions from energy & industry went DOWN 0.3%
How? A massive solar boom.
That’s decoupling in action, renewables covering more of rising power needs. Small drop with a big signal ☀️

Morocco continuing to quietly scale solar at speed ☀️
New figures show 204 MW of utility-scale solar added in 2025, bringing total large-scale capacity to almost 1.3 GW 📈
And that’s only part of the story, with data suggesting up to 3 GW more operating across C&I, solar pumping and homes 🌍⚡️
The UK’s first geothermal power plant is about to go live in Cornwall, using heat from deep underground to generate electricity for 10,000 homes ⚡🏘️
After nearly 20 years in development, the project will also produce the UK’s first domestic supply of lithium for green tech.
Proud as punch to see our Senior Community Renewables Manager, Connie, featured in Utility Week’s Young Energy Professionals series 🏆🤩
Founder of @croydoncommenergy.bsky.social , she’s built the borough’s first renewable energy co-op and delivered community solar projects alongside her day job 👏

🌱⚡ Community energy is power built by people, for people.
From local solar co‑ops to neighbourhood heat networks, communities are cutting bills, creating local jobs and keeping energy money circulating where it matters most — right at home.

U.S. outlined a plan to address rising U.S. electricity costs, which have increased by roughly 8% in 2025 📈💰
His approach includes boosting oil production and requiring energy‑intensive AI data centres to generate their own power.
He has also reversed several Biden‑era clean‑energy initiatives ❌
A year after Trump officials froze $20B in clean‑energy grants, the battle over the funds is back in court ⚖️🚨
Judges now question whether claims of “misconduct” were ever backed up. Big implications for future US climate investment.
One of the coolest things about community energy?
It’s not just infrastructure, it’s participation. People investing, deciding, and shaping their own energy future together 🤝⚡
The transition works best when everyone’s involved.
South Korea is ramping up its grid modernisation with a $223m investment in 2026 aimed at building a next-generation distributed power system 🤩💰
Plans include upgrading regional distribution networks, expanding solar integration, and piloting microgrids and market reforms to boost flexibility 🙌
Solar curtailment rises in Chile as grid constraints struggle to keep pace with renewable growth.
Curtailment hit 6,084 GWh in 2025 (+7.8% YoY), due to transmission bottlenecks and rising flexibility needs.
Once a success story, now facing the tests of grids, flexibility, and integration.
🌱 Funding now open for Montgomeryshire sustainability projects!
