The end of every year is a great time for taking stock of what the year has broughtincluding in terms of clean energy in the power sector. Heres a taste, from US projects, technologies, electrons, and investment, to happenings in the world as a whole.
By Shadia Haq Earth Day 2025 focuses on the theme Our Power, Our Planet and urges a global shift to renewable energy. 2025 The theme “Our Power, Our Planet” calls for tripling renewable energy by 2030. 2025 The theme “Our Power, Our Planet” calls for tripling renewable energy by 2030.
Earlier this year, the MPSC approved a settlement agreement on Consumers Energy’s integrated resource plan that commits the company to retire all its remaining coal-fired power plants by 2025, construct no new fossil gas infrastructure, and build large amounts of new solar power between now and 2040.
Southwest Minnesota and the Dakotas have a lot of windpower—and the potential for even more. Minnesota’s current goal is to reduce statewide carbon emissions 30 percent by 2025 compared to 2005 levels and 80 percent by 2050. Source: MISO LRTP Report. Unlocking the gridlock for Minnesota’s renewable energy future.
In 2013, the University of Maine launched the first grid-connected offshore wind turbine in the Americas and has since continued to pursue a full-scale deployment of its floating offshore windtechnology.
One is that gas plant contracts signed (or renewed) before 2025 will be able to evade meeting the national CERs beyond 2035 which is when the regulations are supposed to kick in. . The oft-repeated argument is that wind and solar can’t be counted on during periods of high demand. But there are loopholes.
Increased electrification in both the industrialized and the developing world is projected to help meet emissions reduction goals, and nuclear power could provide much of the future needs for electricity. electricity generation, nuclear power produces more than half of the nation’s emissions-free electricity.
I previously noted that renewables are to become first global electricity source by 2025. Additionally, energy storage now comes in many forms as battery technologies are each year more numerous, cheaper and better. Lithium ion technology is just one among many others. How fast is just up to us.
Pending final investment decisions and planning approvals and the clearing of the site, production is anticipated during the course of 2025 which, based on other known projects, make it the largest electrolyser plant in Europe. There is no better location in Hamburg for a scalable electrolyser of this size.
The plan includes 25 eligible development areas in the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean seas that will become available in two time periods, some between 2025 and 2032, and some later. The majority of zones are suitable for floating technology, HEREMA said.
Regarding renewable energy, several parties have high ambitions for offshore wind: both GL and D66 aim for 60 GW in the coming government period, 2021-2025; also VVD, CDA, SP, PvdA mention offshore wind as an important option. Both PvdA and GL mention that they want to do this earlier, by 2025 at latest (i.e.
Energy authorities in Inner Mongolia are aiming to connect 50 gigawatts of renewable power to the grid by 2025. Wind and solar power can provide green electricity for those facilities, while the low local temperatures can help with cooling requirements. The Kubuqi desert. Photo credit: Alamy. Quick decisions needed.
Hydrogen could power trucks, ships and planes and be used to produce everything from cement to steel and fertiliser. Saehoon Kim, the head of Hyundai’s fuel cell division told a British trade association webinar last year: “In the past, our technology and industry was all about collecting oil, delivering oil and using oil.
Gannoum estimates that, if it is approved this year, this will allow areas to be auctioned off in 2025, licences to be granted in 2028 and power plants to begin operating between 2031 and 2032. The winners should be chosen by August 2025, and the licences are expected to be granted in December of the same year.
PJMs effort to continue our addiction to 19th century sources of energy that are dirty, dangerous, unreliable and expensive, instead of using safer, more reliable and more cost-effective 21st-century technologies such as solar and windpower and battery storage is appalling.
The EPA’s Social Cost of Carbon was adjusted to 2025 to align with the emissions year of the NO x and SO 2 estimates.) GW of gas capacity set to retire, but also slightly outpacing the planned additions of windpower. GW of new gas capacity is planned to come online in 2023, outpacing not only the 4.8 What can be done?
Industrial solar and wind projects require between 300 and 400 times more land than nuclear plants. [29] 31] Many energy experts are enthusiastic about solar panels, but new information has called the social and ethical value of the technology into question. gigawatts of highly-reliable, low-cost, and low-carbon power.

By Anders Lorenzen Data released by BloombergNEF (BNEF), the clean energy analysts body owned by Bloomberg , have shown that despite the uncertainty, on a global level, the cost of clean energy technologies continues to decline. The global benchmarks for wind and solar generation are also set to fall this year at 4% and 2%, respectively.
Yet 85% of the announced clean energy projects and 68% of the jobs triggered by the IRA, such as those related to electric vehicles, windpower, solar power, and battery storage, have gone to Republican-held congressional districts, according to E2, a nonpartisan group that monitors the clean energy industry.
The country where President Donald Trump has waged wars on the leading renewable energy sources, solar and wind, hit a new electricity generation low for fossil fuels in March 2025, data from the global energy think tank Ember reveals. Date showing US fossil fuel generation in March 2025. Graph credit: Ember.
When Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office in January 2025, his second presidency will have widespread implications for the energy industry, especially new investments, but not necessarily in the ways his supporters might expect. Negotiations on the 2025 tax bill will implicate many of the IRA’s provisions.
On January 20, 2025 otherwise known as Day One of Trump 2.0 Additionally, in the 2010s, solar and wind generated electricity became cost competitive with, if not outright cheaper than coal, natural gas, and nuclear power. Solar and windpower have enjoyed steep increases since 2010, and now produce more power than coal.
In my city of Los Angeles, the cost of the January 2025 wildfires is estimated to exceed $250 billion. Offshore wind is an important component of the global response. As people got used to wind turbines, they did not mind the sight of them as much. Windpower would do well in such a comparison with fossil fuel energy.
