Now Chinese industry giants like vehicle-maker BYD and battery-producer CATL are well-positioned to capitalize on growing interest in low-emissions energy products as the world confronts the fragility of fossil fuels.

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.

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 program expects to allocate up to AUD2bn (US$1.3bn) in funding to accelerate the development of large-scale renewable hydrogen projects across Australia.

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

A pro-nuclear stance would continue the policies of previous administrations, which have pushed to build new units and restart reactors idled after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

The world’s leading banks spent just 89 cents on low-carbon energy companies and projects such as wind, solar and grids for every dollar they allocated to fossil fuels.

India’s evolving taxonomy should clearly define “resilient” activities, such as renewable-powered cold chains or flood-proof housing, to guide investors and policymakers.

Meanwhile, the US Department of the Interior (DOI) has announced the end of special treatment for “unreliable” energy sources such as wind.

The projects will be developed by Bundelkhand Saur Urja, its joint venture with the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency, as four 300 MW subprojects and will have to be commissioned within 18 months from the effective date of the signing of the power purchase agreement (PPA). The minimum bid capacity is 300 MW and the maximum capacity is 600 MW.
