The new Hungarian government will have to rethink the country’s energy policy in order to reduce the country’s heavy exposure to Russian gas while at the same time keeping energy prices in check for households and industry.
Accelerated clean energy deployment could displace the equivalent of all Strait of Hormuz flows over the next few years and is the most durable route to economic resilience and energy security, a new report argues.
A new IRENA report finds that 24/7 “firm” clean energy is cheaper than coal and gas in many parts of the world. The Iran war may catalyze faster adoption.
The Nordic countries have drawn criticism for pioneering green energy while at the same time relying on fossil fuels.
Renewable energy — and especially solar power — captured all demand growth last year and even forced fossil fuels into a slight contraction. And that was before the war in Iran.
The Iran war is giving Finland even more impetus to diversify its energy supply and speed up its energy transition.
Nigeria has launched its first floating solar project with a Chinese contractor to build a 7MW plant at the University of Lagos lagoon campus.
The blocking of the Strait of Hormuz underscores the risks of fossil fuel imports. A new report from Ember makes the case that Asian economies should rapidly shift to renewables.
The Iran war and the chaos it has inflicted on global energy stability, supply and pricing are a stark reminder of Europe’s risky gas reliance, analysts have warned.
The importance of renewables not only for climate but also for economic security needs to be better understood, especially now with the Iran war escalating, analysts said.
The CEO of UAE-based Masdar told conference delegates in London that the firm is targeting a 100 GW renewable energy portfolio by 2030.
India is actually electrifying faster than China did at a comparable stage of economic development, according to a new report.
Poland’s first auction for offshore wind capacity ended recently, ushering the eastern European nation into a new phase of energy transition.
Nigeria has begun exporting locally-manufactured solar panels to Ghana, marking a milestone in energy industrialisation, trade, and clean ambitions.
The rapidly unfolding energy transition was one of the key themes of the year. But so too was backsliding on climate commitments.
