ITER reports that all MITICA components are now onsite. The feed provides no further details.

ITER reports that the final installation phase for the MITICA testbed is scheduled to begin. The item provides limited context and does not specify a timeline or further technical details.

Statkraft and Greenvolt Power have signed a 10-year tolling agreement covering 400MW of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across two operating projects in Poland, which the report describes as the largest EU battery energy storage tolling agreement.

PV Magazine reports that the EU has granted priority status to the cross-border Deploy project, which plans to build 180 MW of solar and wind in Poland, with the electricity generated to be converted into heat for industrial offtakers in Germany.

Chinese researchers used Prussian Blue nanoparticles to improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, achieving efficiencies of up to 26.9%. The approach also enabled fabrication of large-area modules with certified efficiencies of 22.9% and promising results in accelerated aging and outdoor stability tests.

An ITER Scientist Fellow has been appointed director of the Spanish National Fusion Laboratory, according to ITER's website. The feed does not name the appointee or provide further details.

Debmalya Sen, president of the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA), discusses India's dynamic battery storage market landscape of tenders, tariffs and the race to build a domestic battery storage manufacturing ecosystem.

Waaree Power, a subsidiary of Waaree Energies, has begun commercial production on a new solar inverter line with 1.1 GW annual capacity at its Sarodhi facility in Valsad, Gujarat, bringing total string inverter manufacturing capacity to 4.15 GW.

Wärtsilä has moved its battery energy storage system (BESS) business into a 50/50 joint venture with RCT Solutions called Valo, which the company expects to remain loss-making until late 2027.

Onyx Renewables CEO Mary Beth Mandanas explains that, amid rising utility rates, grid congestion and shifting power markets, commercial and industrial companies are increasingly turning to distributed generation, with onsite solar and battery storage providing a physical hedge against gas price swings, lowering structural energy costs and delivering speed to power.

Ten US states have passed laws permitting plug-in solar, with more expected soon. Low-income households, renters and temporary workers facing high electricity bills welcome it as a low-cost, portable solution, though industry figures say business models remain unclear and technical and regulatory issues persist.

A Nature Energy piece addresses EU solar and wind power, moving from gigawatt-scale deployment to critical mineral demands. The available context is sparse and offers no further details.

A Nature Sustainability article reports the green synthesis of hydrogen and formaldehyde from methanol with enhanced quantum efficiency. The provided context is sparse, so specific methods and detailed results are not stated in the available information.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) announced the milestone of 100 community batteries being installed and delivered funding for home conversion from gas to electric. Its Cheaper Home Battery scheme has been extended to 100 kWh installations, according to the agency's spring update.

CleanTechnica reports that the third quarter of 2026 brought mixed fortunes for EV manufacturers in the US: while the rest of the world appears to be progressing toward battery-powered cars becoming the norm, US customers' response to EVs is described, but the excerpt is truncated and gives no specific sales figures.

UK company HyFlux proposes using the extreme cold of liquid hydrogen carried aboard a future hydrogen aircraft to cool a fully superconducting electric motor. The technology at the centre of its proposition appears somewhat credible, though described as incredibly difficult to engineer and maintain, with hydrogen aviation itself the hard part.

Battery storage was paired with 37% of new U.S. residential solar installations in 2025, up from 25% a year earlier, with adoption accelerating both in California and across other states.
