Energy Vault acquires over 2.3 GW BESS projects in US
Energy Vault has acquired over 2.3 GW portfolio of 15 battery energy storage system (BESS) development projects from Goshe Energy Storage in US. The portfolio is anchored by two ready-to-build projects of 150 MW and 200 MW, totalling 350 MW. The projects are expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2028. Furthermore, the projects are expected to generate approximately $30 million in combined annual run-rate EBITDA.

Arcadia and Uniper sign eSAF offtake deal
Uniper and Arcadia eFuels have signed a binding agreement for the offtake of 40,000 tonnes of eSAF annually from Arcadia’s Project Endor in Denmark. The project, located in Vordingborg, is expected to begin supplying the fuel from the early 2030s, subject to agreed conditions and commercial operations. Arcadia’s eSAF will be produced using renewable electricity, green hydrogen and captured carbon dioxide, delivering up to 98 per cent lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compared with conventional jet fuel and is also compatible with the EU ReFuelEU Aviation framework.

The energy transition is not far off, it is happening now: Scotland’s Stephen Gethins
The message that I have received has been clear – that the energy sector, as a whole, is delivering the transformation we need and that Scotland is well placed with decades of experience, skills, expertise, infrastructure and the other necessary ingredients that place us at a competitive advantage. Now there’s no question that there are significant challenges. However, it has been good to hear about the transformation that is being delivered now and hearing the message that Scotland is a good place to invest and a good place to do business.
Opinion & Perspective
The Long Game on Energy Affordability in the US
As electricity costs rise and states make important decisions about energy affordability, the most successful approaches protect consumers today while continuing to invest in energy efficiency and clean energy resources that lower bills over time. As the war in Iran drives up energy prices and as heat waves blanket much of the country, Americans’ electricity bills are rising. Energy efficiency improvements are some of the most cost-effective tools available to help make homes more comfortable and lower household energy costs. But while these improvements save households money over time, their upfront costs make them an easy target for policymakers seeking to lower consumers’ energy bills in the short term.

Lessons from India’s Transition to Electric Vehicles
India’s EV market has gained significant momentum. According to the Indian government’s vehicle registration data, cumulative EV sales have now reached 10.21 million among more than 449 million vehicles on Indian roads, and the share of EVs in new vehicle sales rose to 8.25 percent in fiscal year ending March 2026, up from 7.48 percent the year before. This growth reflects deliberate policy support: Schemes such as the PM E-DRIVE, the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) for automobile manufacturing, and the PLI for Advanced Chemistry Cell (PLI-ACC) battery storage have lowered costs and de-risked investment for both manufacturers and buyers. Other countries pursuing their own EV transitions can draw on the same policy tools.

Global Impetus: Policies and incentives for scaling up floating solar
Floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) is gaining attraction globally, as countries seek to expand renewable energy while addressing land constraints and making better use of their waterbodies. The report “Scaling Up Floating Solar Photovoltaic Systems”, by the Department of Hydro and Renewable Energy, IIT Roorkee, in August 2026, reviews policy, regulatory and incentive frameworks for FPV across China, Japan, the Netherlands, the US, Malaysia, Taiwan, Israel, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Türkiye and Italy.

Enhancing Europe’s Grid Stability: Forced oscillation guidance on draft NC RfG 2.0
The ENTSO-E and WindEurope, jointly released the Technical Group on Forced Oscillations Report, to provide technical guidance on the proposed forced oscillation requirements introduced in the draft NC RfG 2.0. Although the report is non-binding, it is intended to form the technical basis for a future implementation guidance document after the EC formally adopts the revised network code. The report primarily focuses on wind power plants, although future requirements will also apply to other inverter-based power park modules, including solar photovoltaic plants and battery energy storage systems. As Europe moves towards an increasingly inverter-based power system, the report provides a practical framework for managing forced oscillations while highlighting the need for continued research and collaboration.

The Economics of Firm Solar and Wind: IRENA Insights
Solar and wind have become the cheapest sources of new electricity generation worldwide. As renewable penetration rises, however, the central challenge of the energy transition is increasingly one of adequacy and flexibility – ensuring that clean electricity is available when and where it is needed. This webinar presented findings from IRENA's report, 24/7 Renewables: The Economics of Firm Solar and Wind, which introduces the firm leveled cost of electricity (firm LCOE): a project-level benchmark that adds battery storage, generation overbuild and complementary renewables to the conventional LCOE.

Policy Resilience in Brazilian Renewable Energy: Brief
The policy brief titled "Climate and Policy Resilience in Brazilian Renewable Energy" states that the Brazilian context involving a clean-electricity base, a more balanced lobbying landscape, and mounting climate and social pressure, makes it more difficult for the kind of abrupt and unrestrained energy policy swing seen in Colombia. The trend in Brazil tends to be more economically viable for renewables. However, these structural conditions by themselves will not guarantee the success of the transition.

Role of Tax Equity Investments in US clean energy sector
Energy tax credits play a central role in supporting investment and growth across the energy sector. Their continued availability, alongside evolving mechanisms for monetising these incentives, provides a supportive framework for further clean energy deployment. Federal tax credits provide financial incentives for a range of energy sources, manufacturing technologies, and critical minerals, driving adoption across states, industries, and customers. They work by reducing the tax liability of project developers and investors, effectively lowering the overall costs of developing energy projects.
