New Zealand's government has ordered a sector review into the installation of residential and small to medium-scale solar, aiming to reduce what it describes as a "red tape nightmare" that can delay approvals for months.
Solar PV installations have reached a record 14.4GW in the first quarter of 2026, according to a report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
The New York State Senate has passed the Accelerate Solar for Affordable Power (ASAP) Act, which targets to install 20GW of distributed energy capacity by 2035.
Accelerating solar deployment and electrification offers Australia's most effective defence against volatile global energy markets, according to a new Climate Council report released.
In its analysis, Ember examined grid capacity across 20 EU countries and found the major gap was at the transmission level, with a possible shortfall of 104 GW that would affect utility-scale solar projects.
India has installed 9.56GW of rooftop solar capacity under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGMBY), according to government data presented in Parliament.
