Cooper/Brego) “Today’s action is another example of New York’s constant dedication to strengthen our schedule, so that the state remains an affordable and more reliable electricity system now and far into the future,” said Gov. Hochul. “Safe and strategic use of energy storage will help stimulate economic development and to lower the…

Partners from Germany and the Czech Republic build a production line for battery storage in the Eastern Czech Republic, integrate internal control systems to improve cyber security and reduce dependence on Chinese infrastructure. July 28, 2025 Marian Willuhn By ESS News Europe gets a new battery manufacturer: Gaz Energy. In the eastern Czech city of Bohumín, near the Polish border, a new production facility for battery storage solutions is set. Chemical producer Bochemie and battery manufacturer Gaz GmbH work together with the second foundation of the energy trade to set up an integration line for container batteries. Stephan Lehrke, head…

Suncubes, a startup from Italy, develops laser -based wireless power transfer technology to deliver energy to drones for uninterrupted charging during the flight. It has collected seed financing to finance a minimally viable product. July 28, 2025 Valerie Thompson Italian Startup Suncubes develops solutions for laser-based energy transfer to charge drone batteries during the flight. After completing various proof-of-concepts, as well as tests that demonstrate his technology in a 600 m transmission in Italy last year, the Suncubes team now works on a minimally viable product (MVP). “Our technology has been developed with a strong focus on wireless charging during…

By Brad Kramer July 28, 2025 Ampacity warehouse Earlier this year, RP Construction Services renamed Ampacity Renewable energy sources. A member of the Quanta Services Family of Companies, Ampacity specializes in end-to-end structural and electrical solutions with a progressive approach for clean energy projects and the possibility of orchestrating the entire process from engineering to kiting to installation. Eben Russell founded RPCs in 2014, but the company really grew up during Covid. They opened a warehouse operation in Mississippi and started concentrating on engaging Tracker projects as a distributor with added value instead of always doing it as a ‘Turnkey’…

Rollar Solar Array by Galaxyspace Define satellite compactness and power efficiency Galaxyspace, a commercial space company based in Beijing, has introduced a groundbreaking rollable solar panel that drastically reduces satellite bulk and stimulates energy efficiency. Presented at a recent conference in Yibin, the new sun wing can be compacted to the size of a water bottle, but unfolds in a track to cover 20 square meters. Xu Ming, CEO of Galaxyspace, explained that the solar panels were wrapped as rolls around the satellite before the launch and extend to more than 10 meters long and almost two meters wide in…

Last week the government published the final details of the upcoming allocation round for the UK Renewables auction.Allocation Round 7 (AR7) of the Contracts For Difference (CFD) scheme will run with the largest budget ever and 20-year contracts, an increase from the previous 15-year offers.The administrative exercise prices for each technology have been determined and are given in 2024 Currency – Insulting Rounds were in the prizes of 2012.For solar energy, the exercise price is £ 75/m in particular the administrative exercise price is the maximum that the government is willing to pay, not the amount it will certainly do.In…

For years, the market for energy storage in the United States existed for speculation. There was a lot of discussion about the ability of technology to improve the electric grid, but very little continuation. The mood began to shift in the 2020s. Every quarter has a new record -breaking storage installation. Storage on grid scale becomes larger and safer and battery energy storage systems (BESS) find houses throughout the country. While one big beautiful Bill Act (HR1) inscentes for renewable energy insisted, energy storage was created intact. Storage still has access to the Full Investment Tax Credit (ITC) up to…

Scientists from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (Kist) have used a dielectric additive in organic photovoltaic manufacture to produce uniform films in environmental humidity between 10% and 70%. The researchers said the approach improves process stability for organic solar cells. July 28, 2025 Patrick Jowett Researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Have a new dielectric additive based coating technology developed for organic photovoltaic. The team discovered that their adaptation makes it possible for organic photovoltaisches to be reliably manufactured, regardless of changes in the seasonal feelings, causing the sensitivity to the humidity that is traditionally…

The US Department of Energy has awarded $ 4.1 million to Inpyte Energy to use batteries on a microgrid in a Microgrid in Northern California. July 28, 2025 Ryan Kennedy By PV Magazine USA The specialist of the specialist of IJzersodium batteries Systyte Energy has obtained a subsidy of $ 4.1 million from the Office of Electricity of the US Department of Energy to use a grid scale battery in a fire-sensitive region in Northern California. The funds come from the Critical Facility Energy Resilience program of the department. The resilience-oriented installation offers power sources for a critical evacuation zone,…

Researchers have designed a new multilevel-invertertopology with nine switches based on several levels. They tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-run tests. Efficiency achieved up to 96.5%. July 28, 2025 Lior Kahana A group of scientists from India has developed a new single-source Casantor-based multilevel inverter (SCMLI) topology. The new SCMLI topology has fewer switches than a conventional H-Bridge-Omsterer, and according to the team this improves both technical and financial benefits. “The most important goal is to create a new design with one phases that uses a connected condenser technique, which can include the current toad guide a small number…
