Global Renewable Surge: How Wind, Solar & Storage are Replacing
As traditional coal plants grow older, we''re seeing a rapid increase in the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. This shift is not just about replacing old

2025 has been a challenging year for renewables. The new tax law, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, rolled back many clean energy tax credits and imposed new restrictions,
Instead, they store electricity that has already been created from an electricity generator or the electric power grid, which makes energy storage systems secondary sources of electricity.
In a new study published September 5 by Nature Communications, the team used K-Na/S batteries that combine inexpensive, readily-found elements -- potassium (K) and sodium (Na), together with sulfur...
Renewables, including solar, wind, hydropower, biofuels and others, are at the centre of the transition to less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy systems. Generation capacity has grown rapidly
A new, floating pumped hydropower system aims to cut the cost of utility-scale energy storage for wind and solar farms.
Clean energy continues to dominate new power capacity. For example, in 2024, more than 90% of all new electricity capacity worldwide came from renewable sources such as solar, wind,
As America moves closer to a clean energy future, energy from intermittent sources like wind and solar must be stored for use when the wind isn''t blowing and the sun isn''t shining.
In this deep dive, we explore five of the most promising renewable energy technologies poised to reshape the global energy landscape in the coming decades. These are not distant dreams.
Renewable Energy: Sources that naturally replenish on a human timescale, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. All renewable energy is sustainable by definition, but not all
