The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has awarded over 11 GW of solar, hybrid and wind Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) capacity under its Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) schemes.

UK’s latest Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction, Allocation Round 7 (AR7), has allocated 6.2 GW of new renewable energy capacity (UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero statement, 10/02/2026).

This consent allows the project to build and operate up to 100 turbines with associated infrastructure. Underground onshore cables will transmit power from the landfall site near Anderby Marsh (north of Skegness) to a new substation at Surfleet Marsh in South Lincolnshire.

Saudi Arabia and Türkiye have signed a strategic agreement to develop large-scale renewable energy power plant projects in Türkiye.

Britain is seeking to largely decarbonise its power sector by 2030, which will require a big increase in renewable capacity.

In 2024, Germany added 3.8GW/5.7GWh of battery energy storage, though residential storage (3.2GW/4.7GWh) saw an 11.11% year-on-year decline due to slower rooftop solar growth. However, the utility-scale segment surged—new installations reached 733.6MWh, up 83.4% YoY—fueled by the need to integrate renewable energy and stabilize the grid.

Defined as the deliberate reduction or cessation of electricity generation from renewables, even when plants are technically capable of producing, curtailment represents a stark irony in our clean energy journey.

The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission is considering further changes to how the gap between scheduled and actual power generation is calculated, according to a document posted on its website. The move follows last year’s decision to narrow the allowed limits for such deviations.

The administration said in May it was reviewing some $15 billion in projects awarded under President Joe Biden.

Germany risks falling behind on its shift to cleaner energy amid counterproductive regulations and “vague” political pledges
