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.

Solar is now the most cost-effective electrification option for a growing share of Myanmar’s energy demand. Monthly average diesel prices rose by nearly 900 percent in nominal terms, from MMK 682 per liter in January 2021 to MMK 6,057 per liter in April 2026, industrial grid tariffs increased by 80 percent in February 2026, and the cost of energy from large commercial and industrial (C&I) solar-plus-battery systems is at US$0.205 per kWh, now cheaper than the industrial grid tariff of US$0.250 per kWh. The C&I segment is approaching commercial viability and is likely to continue growing largely on commercial terms.

This SEI brief aims to inform how the UK’s ambition to expand the number of community-owned, renewable energy sources can translate into practical delivery. It outlines key hurdles that community energy efforts face and makes recommendations to overcome them. Its insights are drawn from discussion groups convened for this purpose, bringing together community energy practitioners, support organizations’ representatives, and experts from the sector. The UK has signalled renewed ambition to invest in efforts to accelerate the growth of community-owned energy to help communities “reap the benefits of clean, secure, home-grown energy” (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, 2024).

NorthStar Clean Energy has completed the Hart Solar Project in Oceana County, Michigan. The project, with an installed capacity of 120 MW, is expected to generate over 200 GWh of electricity annually. The project will generate enough electricity to supply around 21,000 homes while offsetting 96,000 metric tonnes of carbon emissions annually. Furthermore, the project will supply clean energy through long-term power purchase agreements with Executive Energy Services and the Michigan Public Power Agency (MPPA). Project inauguration is scheduled in October 2026.

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.

Germany’s Federal Network Agency has announced the results of its August 2026 onshore wind auction. A total of 461 bids totalling 5,250 MW were submitted while the auction offered 2,520 MW, making the auction significantly oversubscribed. A total of 237 bids, totalling 2,523 MW were awarded, while 17 bids were excluded. Furthermore, the successful bids ranged from 4.49-4.98 cents per kWh, with the average weighted award price falling to 4.79 cents per kWh, down from the previous auction round, which had an average weighted award price of 5.06 cents per kWh.

In November 2025, RMI published a report making the case that off-site demand flexibility, energy efficiency, and distributed generation can help meet rapidly growing data center electricity demand while lowering costs, improving reliability, and reducing the need for new fossil generation. The report outlined how data centers and other large electricity customers could help finance and scale distributed capacity. Since the report’s publication, new laws, commission decisions, and utility proposals have begun creating pathways for large customers to fund distributed capacity, for utilities to evaluate it as a grid resource, and for that capacity to deliver tangible benefits to participating customers. The design of these pathways will shape the types of transactions that are possible, the willingness and ability of data centers to pay for distributed capacity, and the potential scale of future investments.

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.

Europe’s climate transition is unfolding in places most people know intimately: the apartment blocks where families start their mornings, the schools and offices that shape daily routines, the streets where old buildings tell the story of generations. These spaces also represent one of Europe’s biggest climate challenges. Buildings account for around 40% of the EU’s energy consumption and more than a third of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions, making the built environment one of the most important frontiers in the race towards climate neutrality. Across Europe, cities are beginning to move beyond individual buildings and looking at the entire system around them. Through NetZeroCities, municipalities are testing new ways to renovate neighbourhoods, rethink construction, redesign energy systems and create models that others can adapt.
