Reward scheme for using less power at peak times could help lower US bills.

A cheap, bipartisan tool could help the US meet increasing energy demand
from AI datacenters while also easing soaring power bills for households,
preventing deadly blackouts and helping the climate.

The policy solution, called “demand flexibility”, can be quickly deployed across the US.
Demand flexibility essentially means rewarding customers for using less
power during times of high demand, reducing strain on the grid or in some
cases, selling energy they have captured by solar panels on their homes.

Peak power demand is expected to grow by 20% over the next decade –
driven by the dramatic rise of AI datacenters, onshoring of manufacturing,
increasing use of EVs and growing need for air conditioning amid hotter
summers. Increasing energy demand is putting states such as California and Texas at higher risk of life-threatening blackouts in extreme weather.
Meanwhile, the average household price of power increased by 9.5% this
year. The largest increase was in Missouri, which jumped by 38%.

After Spain’s blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It’s part of a bigger attack.


Julia Simon, October 8, 2025

 After Spain’s blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It’s part of a
bigger attack. a new report from an expert panel of European grid operators details what happened. The report finds that for the first time in Europe, a voltage surge caused the massive outage. Voltage needs to remain within limits for an electrical grid to work.

While many things went wrong, the
problem was not a power grid with too much wind or solar, says Chris
Rosslowe, a senior energy analyst at Ember who was not involved in drafting the report. “It contradicts the numerous claims that we’ve seen that an overreliance on renewables was the cause,” Rosslowe says. “That is clearly not true.” But the misinformation about solar and wind energy causing the outage has had an impact.

A new survey found that a majority of Spanish respondents believe at least one false narrative about the blackout, and the most common was that too much reliance on renewable energy was to blame.

Countries around the world are using renewable energy to move away
from polluting fossil fuels. That’s why it’s so important to counter false
narratives about solar and wind, says Philip Newell, communications
co-chair of the Climate Action Against Disinformation, a coalition of
nonprofits.

‘Solar for All’ should mean just that.

   by beyondnuclearinternational, https://beyondnuclearinternational.org/2025/10/12/solar-for-all-should-mean-just-that/

An EPA decision to cancel a solar grant to tribal nations is a hard hit, writes Cody Two Bears

The EPA’s decision to cancel its Solar for All grant to our coalition of tribal nations is more than a policy reversal—it’s a gut punch to communities that believed they were finally being seen.

Our coalition of 14 tribal governments spanning North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin, and Wyoming came together around a once-in-a-generation opportunity: to deploy $100 million in solar infrastructure to more than 3,500 tribal homes, while training Native youth and veterans in a clean energy workforce that could serve their own communities.

That promise is now gone. And we are not alone.

This past month, dozens of other states, cities, and communities—red and blue alike learned that their own Solar for All awards contracts will be terminated. Across the country, tens of thousands of low-income households are being told that the solar systems they were promised won’t be installed. That the jobs and training they applied for may not materialize. That another chance to turn energy burden into energy security has slipped away.

In Indian Country, the pain is particularly deep. We’ve been here before. Our communities are used to being promised opportunities that never arrive. But that doesn’t make this one hurt any less.

Solar for All wasn’t just about installing solar. It was about building a future that Native communities have been fighting for—one where we control our own energy, reduce crushing utility bills, and create jobs that allow our youth to stay and serve their people. 

It was about growing Native-owned solar businesses, launching the first tribally led operations and maintenance teams in the Northern Plains, and helping each other stand up community-driven energy programs built to last.

Our coalition’s plan would have installed thousands of solar and battery systems and saved Native households over $300 million over the next 25 years. Those savings matter.

Many tribal households already pay double or even triple what the average U.S. household pays for energy. And just like the rest of the country, we’re bracing for steep increases in electricity rates in the years ahead. In communities where winter electric heating bills can exceed $600, solar isn’t just smart policy—it’s a matter of survival. We knew this wouldn’t be easy. But we showed up anyway. Tribal councils passed resolutions. Apprenticeship programs were designed. Community outreach had already begun. In some communities, program managers had been hired and work was underway.

Now, much of that momentum has been lost.

To say we’re disappointed is an understatement. But we’re not giving up. As tribal nations, we have always walked a harder path—but never without purpose. We remain grounded in our values: self-determination, stewardship, and the belief that our communities deserve to lead in this transition—not be left behind by it.

And we will lead. Solar for All gave us a platform to organize, build relationships, and design solutions tailored to our communities. We are keeping that vision alive—with or without this federal funding. But we won’t pretend this isn’t a major setback.

And we want to be clear: we are doing this anyway.

Because no matter what anyone says about solar, we have the laws of physics and economics on our side. The sun will keep shining. Panels will keep getting cheaper. And every kilowatt we produce locally is one less dollar sent off the reservation. The long-term math is in our favor—and we’re building for that future, even when the politics fall short.

Now is the time for philanthropic partners, private investors, and aligned institutions to step forward and help us carry this work forward. We have the plans, the partnerships, and the people. What we need is support—and the courage from others to believe in this vision, even when Washington doesn’t follow through.

Tribes don’t need handouts. We need the means to build what we’ve already envisioned.

Solar for All was supposed to be just that—for all. For red states and blue, for tribal communities and rural towns, for people who’ve too often been left behind in the energy transition. With its cancellation, a lot of doors just slammed shut.

But we’ll keep knocking. Because this is what leadership looks like in Indian Country: standing up, standing together, and staying the course—especially when the promises are broken.

Cody Two Bears is the Founder and CEO of Indigenized Energy and a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. He is a nationally recognized leader in the movement for tribal energy sovereignty, combining Indigenous knowledge with Western science to bring renewable energy solutions to Native communities. In response to the 2016 #NoDAPL movement, Cody launched Indigenized Energy and led the development of North Dakota’s largest solar project on Standing Rock. A shorter version of this article was published as a letter to the editor in The Washington Post.

Australian Capital Territory went first and fastest to 100 per cent renewables: It now looks like the smartest policy of all

 The ACT government continues to reap the rewards for its early and bold
push to 100 per cent renewables, which is now looking like the smartest
policy of all – shielding its residents from the ravages of largely
fossil-fuelled electricity price hikes.

The latest quarterly data assessing
the cost of the ACT government’s commitment to sourcing the equivalent of
its annual demand from wind and solar – which it met on schedule in 2020
– shows the additional cost of the policy in the latest quarter was just
$3 a megawatt hour. Indeed, three of the wind farms contracted by the ACT
government returned significant sums of money (a total of $4.4 million) to
the ACT because the contract prices they agreed to are significantly lower
than current wholesale electricity prices.

Flamanville EPR: EDF anticipates limited power until 2031.

Flamanville EPR: EDF anticipates limited power until 2031. EDF has
informed the energy regulator that it has selected a final electrical power
output lower than that officially communicated. The reason: the hypothesis
of a deteriorated performance of the Normandy reactor, leading to a
restriction of its electricity production.

These are just five short lines
in a document of over 200 pages. But they are very important. In its report
on the cost of nuclear power, published Tuesday, September 30, the Energy
Regulatory Commission (CRE) addresses the issue of the electrical power of
the Flamanville 3 EPR, the restart of which was recently postponed until
mid-October, after numerous delays since its shutdown last June following a
leak in a primary circuit protection valve.

The energy regulator explains
that the production of Flamanville 3 is difficult to predict due to the
level of uncertainty over the timetable for the continuation of reactor
tests. Above all, it specifies that in terms of “the final nominal
electrical power of the EPR, EDF declared to the CRE a power 35 megawatts
(MW) lower than the power declared in the public data framework . “

Poll suggests most Reform UK voters back investment in renewable energy

 More than half of Reform UK voters approve of their pensions being
invested in green energy despite the party recently launching a
“renewables war”, a poll suggests.

A survey by YouGov found 79% of
voters overall are in favour of their pensions being invested in renewable
energy, including 53% of Reform UK supporters. The findings have led to
claims that politicians who oppose investment in the sector “have grossly
misjudged” voters’ views. Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice launched
a campaign group called UK Opposes Renewable Eyesores in July, decrying the
“the madness of net stupid zero” and pledging to “go into battle”
against Energy Secretary Ed Miliband.

South Australia unveils first auction as world’s most advanced renewables grid seeks long duration storage

 The South Australia state government has appointed ASL to run its first
auction for long duration storage, as the world’s most advanced wind and
solar grid seeks around 700 MW of new firm capacity over the next six
years.

South Australia leads the world in the uptake of wind and solar –
which together accounted for 75 per cent of its local electricity demand
over the last 12 months – and has set a world-leading target of reaching
100 per cent “net” renewables by the end of 2027. It already has seven
big battery projects operating in the state, and another dozen under
construction or contracted, but it is now seeking longer duration storage
through the Firm Energy Reliability Mechanism (FERM) that it announced
earlier this year.

World Nuclear Industry Status Report  Energy overview- a nuclear dead end?

a possible driver for more high cost nuclear is that it can support the production of nuclear weapons……… evidently ‘military considerations can override economic ones’,

October 04, 2025, https://renewextraweekly.blogspot.com/2025/10/wnisr-energy-overview-nuclear-dead-end.html

The annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report as usual looks in great detail at the state of play for nuclear, mostly still not doing too well, compared with renewables, mostly doing better, with the report looking extensively at that as well as the ups and downs of nuclear. The renewable challenge is after all very striking: for example, global solar electricity generation has increased by about 28%, with costs continuing to fall. And crucially, in April 2025, renewables exceeded nuclear power generation globally for the first time. 

However, although construction costs and delays remain a big problem, the nuclear story is not entirely negative. Given reactor start-ups and closures in 2024, nuclear added 5.3 GW net, while operating capacity increased by 2% and electricity output by 2.9%. But given the overall growth of electricity use, the nuclear share of global power has fallen to 9%. Whereas renewables are expanding overall. And that is despite some recent financial problems.  For example, in 2024 wind energy deployment was hindered by the general economic & political environment. But even so wind electricity TWh generation still increased by close to 8%. 

Nevertheless, despite renewable growth, WNISR concludes that, while ‘including hydro, gross electricity generation of all renewables grew by 862 TWh or 9.6 % in 2024’ that was ‘not enough to keep pace with the rising global electricity demand (up by 1,293 TWh), driven by higher temperatures, industrial expansion, electrification, and unambitious demand-side management & efficiency policies’. Although it says that renewables could in theory catch up with overall demand, that would require some major changes. The whole basis of the system logic must it says undergo a deep transformation, with a new framework for energy policy. Just comparing nuclear and renewables as if they were simply substitutable supply alternatives will not suffice: they are fundamentally different. 

WNISR says ‘The underlying physics of the two technologies shows that significant disparities between them render nuclear inherently more costly, both in its present state and in the future’. For example, it says that ‘atomic energy is the only technology exploiting nuclear forces. It therefore has safety & security problems, as well as long-term liabilities, that competing technologies do not have. Technologies that exploit nano-level mechanisms in the electron shell of atoms, aided by quantum-mechanical insights, exhibit the most rapid innovation & cost decline’. And it concludes ‘an analysis of the system characteristics of the emerging overall energy system indicates that photovoltaics, batteries, and power electronics are already modifying the logic of the overall system in a manner that renders it increasingly challenging for nuclear power to be integrated into’. 

That sounds quite optimistic for renewables if it is taken on board fully, but grim for nuclear, which it says ‘has essentially gotten stuck with the concepts of 75 years ago. While the quantum physics revolution has allowed progress in other fields, such as innovative materials, semiconductors, information technology, or artificial intelligence, it has only been marginally useful in advancing nuclear technologies.’

However, the new green techs have their own problems- notably the variability of some sources. WNISR says there are ‘widespread expectations that the expansion of renewables & especially solar will slow down,’ due to the need ‘to provide sufficient flexibility for high shares of renewables’. But solving this problem means that the whole system has to change, with flexible supply and demand and short and long term storage becoming very important, if we are get to net zero. Fortunately, WNISR says, ‘there is a wide array of opportunities for flexibility in the electricity system’ ranging from ‘reserve generation capacity provided by gas peaker plants to excess solar generation capacities curtailed during maximum sunshine, from batteries in homes to intermediate heat storage in industrial plants, and from changes in consumer habits or cost-neutral power use patterns to changes in industrial production rhythm enabled by additional intermediate product storage’. 

Though it says that ‘those reluctant to embrace change call for a slowdown in the growth of renewables & are slow to pave the way for additional flexibility’, and also, ‘with some success, advocates of nuclear energy have spread the impression that decarbonization is expensive anyway and that alternatives to nuclear are no better.’ However, WNISR say that is wrong: ‘A series of simulations has consistently shown that 100-percent renewable energy systems are not more expensive than the conventional fossil- fuel-based approach. More importantly, 100-percent renewables-based systems are less costly than those that include nuclear power’. 

Moreover, it claims that ‘nuclear plants do not provide the type of flexible, dispatchable power that can fill the gaps between solar power peaks. They need flexibility from other sources for bridging considerable planned and unplanned outages and for buffering between changing demand and their inflexible full-load operation. The cost of their baseload electricity is more expensive than the ultra-flexible combination of renewables-plus-storage-plus-flexible demand’.  About all that WNISR seem able to offer as a possible driver for more high cost nuclear is that it can support the production of nuclear weapons. It quotes French President Macon’s claim that ‘without civil nuclear, no military nuclear; without military nuclear, no civil nuclear.’ That’s a pretty grim statement, and I will be exploring some of the implications for renewables of that sort of view in my next post.

In terms of the drive to nuclear, while WNISR notes that evidently ‘military considerations can override economic ones’, so can other factors and commitments. It says that there are ‘those who are still attached to the old (energy) paradigm, whether due to vested interests, ideological reasons, or deep identification with past activities and declining structures’. The dead hand of the past stop progress and the acceptance of new green energy paradigms. The report rounds off by saying that ‘changing paradigms is a tedious and slow process’ and notes that Max Planck, who was at the centre of a key paradigm shift in physics a century ago, said a bit bleakly ‘Science advances one funeral at a time.’ Let’s hope that’s not the only way it can happen. As WNISR warns ‘the time left for complete decarbonization of the energy system is short – not even a generation.’ Quite so.  With a key attraction of renewables being that they are cheaper and faster to deploy than nuclear, with it being unclear if SMRs will offer any improvement, certainly not soon.

Here comes the sun! The solar energy revolution – podcast

Why might authoritarians fear the rise of green energy? With Bill McKibben

https://www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2025/oct/02/the-clean-energy-revolution-a-reason-to-be-hopeful-podcast

Last week Donald Trump let the UN general assembly know exactly what he thought about renewable energy sources. “I’ve been right about everything and I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail,” he said.

Despite this political opposition, in the last 36 months there has been a global revolution in clean energy. The acclaimed environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben explains to Lucy Hough that we have now passed a tipping point when it comes to solar energy, driven by falling prices, widespread innovation and countries’ desire for energy independence.

McKibben outlines how China is becoming the world’s first “electrostate” and argues that while this global shift is too big for the US president to prevent, activism and engagement is still required to reign in the worst excesses of the climate crisis. Finally, McKibben discusses the important role that clean energy may play in loosening the grip of authoritarianism around the world.

Bill McKibben’s new book, Here Comes the Sun, is out now.

Solar becomes main source of electricity in the EU for first time.

 More than half of the EU’s electricity in the second quarter of 2025 came from
renewable energy. Solar energy was the main source of electricity in the
European Union for the first time in history in June, according to new
figures. The renewable energy source accounted for 22 per cent of the
electricity generated in the EU, overtaking nuclear energy, which produced
21.6 per cent of the electricity.

The data from Eurostat, the statistical
office of the EU, showed that more than half of the EU’s electricity in the
second quarter of 2025 came from renewables. Three countries in Europe
managed to generate more than 90 per cent of their electricity from
renewable energy sources, while 15 countries were able to increase the
renewables share in their energy mix compared to the same period last year.
“Denmark, with 94.7 per cent, had the highest share of renewables in net
electricity generated, followed by Latvia (93.4 per cent) [and] Austria
(91.8 per cent),” a Eurostat report noted.

We don’t need gas or nuclear to power data centres, says Octopus Energy boss.

 Greg Jackson, CEO of Britain’s biggest energy supplier, hit back at claims from
union leaders and AI bosses that only fossil fuels and nuclear could meet
demand. Jackson, who has been a vocal proponent of renewable energy,
electric cars and heat pumps, said: “Today I think we are in a world
where what do you hear? ‘We’ve got this incredible demand for energy for
data centres: it can only be met by gas and maybe new nuclear.’ Forgive me:
this is horseshit, right?”

Renewables blow past nuclear when it comes to cheap datacenter juice.

Study finds microgrids with wind, solar, and batteries can be built years sooner and at lower cost than SMRs

CNZ describes itself as an open research institute, founded by Octopus Energy Group in the UK, and claims to advise the State of California and Europe’s International Energy Agency as well as the British government.

While CNZ’s study applies to the UK sector, where energy costs are among the highest in the industrialized world, it is likely that the overall conclusion would still be valid in other countries as well.

Its analysis shows that renewables can meet 80 percent of the constant demand from a large datacenter over the course of a year. Offshore wind can provide the majority of load requirements, with gas generation backed by battery storage as a stopgap source of power representing the most cost-optimal mix.

Greater capacity in the on-site battery storage system would reduce the reliance on gas power, and this would likely happen over time as the cost of such systems is expected to come down, the report claims.

Sorry, Donald Trump and Keir Starmer – Scotland doesn’t need nuclear

 Craig Dalzell: I’M going to preface this article by saying that unlike
many of my comrades across the green and environmental movement, I’m not
ideologically against nuclear power per se.

In this decade of the 21st
century, we’re seeing the true energy transition start to change the
world around us faster than we realise. When I was in school, renewables
were taught as a thing that existed but were likely to only supply a small
fraction of the energy future. Today, wind and increasingly solar power are
dominating the globe in terms of new installed capacity.

Just after I left
high school in 2002, the total combined new energy generation installed
between both renewables and nuclear was about 20% of the global total that
year. Now, it’s more like 80%. And that’s massively overemphasising the
impact of nuclear.

The International Energy Agency’s 2025 Global Energy
Review found that more than 7GW of new nuclear power capacity was brought
online in the previous year compared to 700GW of new wind turbines and
solar photovoltaic panels (with solar providing around three-quarters of
that capacity). The age not just of renewables but of solar power
specifically, appears to be crashing over us.

It makes sense. The panels
are now cheap and easy to produce as once you have a production line going
it can just keep fabricating them. They’re easy to install just about
anywhere (to the point where in places like Germany it’s increasingly
common to see folk hanging them from their balconies). And every single new
panel installed anywhere starts producing power immediately with no fuel,
almost no maintenance and will keep producing power for decades.

The efficiencies of production have been stark. A solar PV panel in my school
days cost about £4.87 per watt in today’s prices. That panel now costs
about 20p per watt. A 96% price reduction in real terms.

Conventional nuclear power, on the other hand, requires years to decades of planning and
construction, truly massive upfront capital costs and the plants don’t
produce any power until they are switched on.

One way that the nuclear
sector is adapting is through the development of “small modular
reactors” (SMRs). Last week, Keir Starmer used Donald Trump’s state
visit to sign a deal for the US to produce such reactors for the UK. Costs
are expected to remain high though. Right now, a watt of conventional
nuclear energy costs about three to five times as much as solar and even
the best estimates for SMR cost reductions aren’t expected to make up
that gap.

The UK Government accepts that SMRs will only reduce the cost of
electricity by about 20% compared to conventional nuclear, which will mean
they will remain the most expensive way to generate electricity for the
foreseeable future. The future of energy, especially in Scotland, isn’t
going to be expensive conventional nuclear or expensive and untested SMRs.
It’s going to be by capturing the wind, waves and sun all around us and
bottling it for later use.

Australia rooftop solar hits 26.8 GW as home battery uptake surges

Australia is on track to exceed its 2030 rooftop solar targets with a combined 1.1 GW of new capacity installed across 115,584 households and businesses in the first half of 2025.

September 15, 2025 David Carroll, https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/09/15/australia-rooftop-solar-hits-26-8-gw-as-home-battery-uptake-surges/

A new report from the Clean Energy Council (CEC) shows that at the end of June there was a combined 26.8 GW of rooftop solar capacity deployed across 4.2 million homes and small businesses in Australia.

The CEC’s Rooftop Solar and Storage Report reveals that 115,584 rooftop solar units were installed nationwide in the first six months of the year, down 18% on the same period 12 months prior, while the total installed capacity of 1.1 GW was 15% lower than the 1.3 GW installed over the same period in 2024.

Despite the slowdown, the CEC said Australia is likely to exceed the Australian Energy Market Operator’s (AEMO) 2030 target for rooftop solar.

AEMO’s Integrated System Plan, which underpins the federal government’s 82% by 2030 renewable energy target, expects rooftop solar to contribute 36 GW to the National Electricity Market by the end of the decade.

The CEC said based on current trends, it expects the rollout of rooftop solar in Australia will reach 37.2 GW by June 2030, beating projections by 3.3%.

CEC Distributed Energy General Manager Con Hristodoulidis said the figures highlight the pivotal role of rooftop solar in keeping Australia’s energy transition on track.

“Australian consumers and small businesses are delivering the transition at breathtaking speed, turning suburban roofs into one of the biggest power stations in the country,” he said.

Rooftop solar contributed 12.8%, or 15,463 GWh, of Australia’s total energy generation in the first six months of the year, up from 11.5% in the same period 12 months prior.


The report also shows that Australians are embracing home batteries at record pace, with 85,000 battery units sold in the first half of 2025, representing a 191% increase from the same period last year.

The uptake has surged again since the introduction of the federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries program with government data revealing more than 43,500 installations installed in July and August alone.

“Just as Australians have long understood the value of solar in lowering household energy bills, we are now seeing a surge in battery adoption, which allows households to store their own clean energy and maximise savings,” Hristodoulidis said.

Queensland added the most rooftop solar in the first half of 2025, with 326 MW of installed capacity, followed by New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria with 321 MW and 230 MW, respectively.

NSW has the highest level of total installed rooftop solar capacity in the nation at 7.5 GW, with Queensland second at 7.2 GW, ahead of Victoria with 5.4 GW. Queensland remains the state with the most installations, with 1.1 million.
