Brazil’s Senate has approved Redata, a tax incentive regime requiring data centers to meet their electricity demand with renewable or low-emission energy. The new provisions could boost demand for solar and wind projects, PPAs and self-generation as Brazil’s data center market expands. The post Brazil approves law link
India’s digital economy will ultimately be supported by physical systems: substations, transmission lines, renewable plants, batteries and control platforms. If these systems are planned with the same precision and urgency as the computing infrastructure they serve, data-centre growth can strengthen both economic compe
SunHydrogen has achieved solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiencies above 10% with its 100 cm² modules in tests at Sparc Hydrogen’s laboratories. The U.S. company is now targeting efficiencies approaching 15% while working to scale the technology to larger, manufacturable modules. The post U.S. startup exceeds 10% solar
The milestone builds on the demonstration centre’s coefficient of performance (COP) of 6.5 at the time of commissioning last November. The company told pv magazine the result is particularly important for European manufacturers as they can pay up to four times more for stream than those in the US. The post Skyven Techn
A new report released by Powering Skills Organisation has found a shift in workplace culture could open the door to a significant number of underutilized workers who are women, First Nations and culturally or linguisitically diverse people.

The European Commission has approved Germany’s capacity mechanism, clearing the way for up to €35.2 billion in state support for generation, storage and demand-side flexibility. The scheme will use competitive auctions and require new gas-fired power plants to be hydrogen-ready, with climate-neutral operation required
The European Commission and EIB have approved a €2 billion fund to support grid interconnections, renewable energy, storage and electric mobility across Greece’s islands. The program aims to reduce reliance on costly oil-fired generation while strengthening island energy security and accelerating decarbonization. The p
Bangladesh has introduced a BDT 10.50 ($0.086)/kWh tariff for surplus electricity from eligible rooftop solar systems under its net-metering regime. The incentive will apply to systems installed by Feb. 28, 2027, for a three-year period. The post Bangladesh introduces $0.086/kWh tariff for net-metered rooftop solar app
The milestones continue to fall in Australia’s evolving electricity grid, with rooftop solar meeting 99.9% of South Australia’s total electricity demand on the final day of winter, slashing the reliance on grid-scale generation.
