Austria to reach 11TWh solar power generation target well before 2030, forecasts GlobalData
Austria’s solar PV market has recently seen a rapid expansion in capacity. In 2023, the country added about 2.5GW of new solar PV capacity, bringing the cumulative total to approximately 6.2GW. By the end of 2025, that total had grown further to nearly 9.9GW of installed capacity. This places Austria well ahead of linear build‐paths needed to hit the 11TWh target comfortably before 2030, according to GlobalData, a leading intelligence and productivity platform. GlobalData’s latest report, “Austr...
Malaysia to surpass 2040 renewable energy target by 2031, forecasts GlobalData
Malaysia is poised to exceed its National Energy Policy’s (NEP) 2040 renewable energy capacity target of 18.43GW by 2031, driven by aggressive large-scale solar tenders, strong policy framework, accessible financing, and rapidly improving grid integration and storage capacity that reduce lead-time risks, according to GlobalData, a leading intelligence and productivity platform. GlobalData’s latest report, “Malaysia Power Market Trends and Analysis by Capacity, Generation, Transmission, Distribu...

Oil Crisis: IDTechEx Explores What Sustainable Aviation Fuel Means for Energy Security
While the HEFA pathway will dominate SAF production over the next 10 years, other production pathways will also see significant scale-up. Source: IDTechEx The transportation sector needs to decarbonize globally by 2050 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. For aviation, this will require low-carbon fuels in large quantities as explored in IDTechEx’s “Sustainable Biofuels & E-Fuels Market 2026-2036” report. However, the climate crisis is not the only motivation to scale-up SAF (sustainabl...

Computational “time machine” shows solar and wind on track for 2°C target but not for 1.5°C
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Wind and solar power have grown faster than almost anyone predicted but projecting their future expansion remains surprisingly difficult. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed what they call a computational “time machine” – a model that outperforms existing projection methods by using AI techniques to analyse historical growth patterns across countries. Their central projection shows that onshore wind is likely to supply aroun...
Monterey County Sheriff’s Office Prioritizes Safety and Fiscal Resiliency with Solar-Plus-Storage System Projected to Save $12M
The system at the County Jail was designed using LFP battery technology, which is widely recognized for its lower risk of thermal runaway compared to other battery types. Carport installation projected to offset 55% of the County Jail’s energy use, reducing annual carbon emissions by 1,000 metric tons. Design prioritizes safety with LFP batteries and compliance with evolving standards. Financing via Power Purchase Agreement ensures predictable energy costs with no upfront investment. Salinas, Ca...
Supporting construction of next gen floating offshore wind turbines
Efficient marshaling de-risks project against unavoidable high winds While windy locations naturally make ideal spots for offshore wind farms, they bring challenges when it comes to assembling wind turbines – particularly in ports. Most wind turbines have fixed foundations and are assembled at sea using powerful installation vessels that are specially designed to withstand strong winds. Floating wind turbines can be installed in deeper waters and deliver much higher power yields. However, t...
