For the second time in as many months, Nextracker has secured new steel production lines in the U.S., bringing the solar tracker manufacturer's domestic capacity to 10 GW.

Nextracker said it reshored equipment from China to the Atkore Steel facility in Phoenix as a means of mitigating risk caused by supply chain turbulence.

Electrify America said it signed a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with developer Terra-Gen to build a 75 MW solar photovoltaic renewable energy generation project in San Bernardino County, California.

A memorandum of understanding to develop the 490 MW Arun-4 hydro power project in Nepal has been signed, according to a LinkedIn post by a senior manager with SJVN Limited.

The MOU was signed in front of PM Narender Modi and PM of Nepal Sher Bahadur Deuba.

An energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction program from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has saved partner organizations more than $15 billion in energy costs, the agency said.

The Better Buildings Initiative is a public-private partnership with more than 900 businesses, state and local governments, utilities, housing authorities, and other organizations pursuing energy, waste, water, and/or greenhouse gas reduction goals and sharing their solutions. 

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s executive arm moved Wednesday to jump-start plans for the 27-nation bloc to abandon Russian energy amid the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine, proposing a nearly 300 billion-euro ($315 billion) package that includes more efficient use of fuels and faster rollout of renewable power.

A solar cell developed by researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has achieved a record 39.5% efficiency under 1-sun global illumination — the highest efficiency solar cell of any type, measured under the same conditions.

The accomplishment tops the previous record set by NREL researchers in 2020, when a 39.2% efficiency six-junction solar cell was developed using III-V materials.
