Renewables Account for Almost Three Quarters of New Capacity in 2019
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — The renewable energy sector added 176 gigawatts (GW) of generating capacity globally in 2019, marginally lower than the (revised) 179 GW added in 2018. However, new renewable power accounted for 72 per cent of all power expansion last year, according to new data released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). IRENA’s annual Renewable Capacity Statistics 2020 shows that renewables expanded by 7.6 per cent last year with Asia dominating growth an...
Lithuania’s Solar Scene to launch World's First Online Consumer Platform for Purchasing Solar Energy in Remote Solar Plants
Lithuanian companies launch the first in the world online consumer platform where everyone can purchase a part of remote solar plant. New legislation in the country, changing consumer needs and growing demand for solar energy inspired a project called “Solar Community” (Lith. “Saulės bendruomenė”).

MIT study highlights benefits of a two-way exchange of electricity between the U.S. Northeast and Quebec as the region decarbonizes
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. : States in the Northeastern U.S. can transition to low-carbon electricity at a lower cost by using hydropower reservoirs in Quebec for energy storage, says a new MIT study. Countering conventional wisdom, the study argues that Quebec’s hydropower reservoirs are best seen by Northeastern states as a virtual energy storage resource rather than a continuous source of energy. In a low-carbon future, the value of Quebec hydropower is maximized when used to balance and store renew...
