Australia’s New South Wales government has introduced legislation to accelerate the delivery of renewable energy infrastructure as the state's coal-fired power stations prepare to exit the system.

Solar power generation in Central Europe has grown at more than twice the EU average rate since 2019, according to new figures.

A report published by the US Department of Energy (DOE) this week claims that the previous government’s support for renewable energy could cause blackouts to “increase by 100 times” by 2030.

The report from clean energy think tank Ember showed solar PV accounting for 11% of EU electricity while coal fell to historic lows of 10%.

Savion has commissioned its Martin County Solar Project (MCSP) in the US state of Kentucky, its first to be built on a reclaimed coal mine.

Solar will form the cornerstone of Indonesia’s renewable power sector, according to forecasts made by think tank Ember Climate.

Indonesia’s president, Prabowo Subianto, has established a 75GW renewable energy capacity target for the country at the G20 Summit in Brazil.

While most coal-fired power stations in Australia are expected to close in the 2030s, UK-based research group Cornwall Insight predicts that the last will not close until the 2050s.

UK-based research group Cornwall Insight has projected that Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) will add 150GW of solar PV, wind and energy storage capacity by 2043.

Australia has topped the international leaderboard in scaling electricity generation from low-emission and clean technologies, with growth between 2018 and 2023 at just over 100%.
