⚡The Trump government has taken a battleaxe to US climate programmes and yanked the country out of international climate diplomacy. A future Democratic administration will need consecutive terms in office to reverse the carnage. Paul Hockenos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/11/the-...

⚡As the world seeks to do more with less, #agrivoltaics pairs solar panels with farming on the same land. It produces clean energy and supports crops and livestock – all while building climate resilience. Read Lisa Sandtner’s article on how to “farm the sun” 👇 energytransition.org/2025/10/agri...

⚡Levies, charges and taxes make electricity costly – blocking the switch to climate-friendly, electricity-based alternatives. Tech’s ready, industry’s waiting, but Katherina Reiche's reckless wrong-way drive continues unabated. @janalbrecht.bsky.social reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/10/elec...

⚡The electrical interconnection between Crete and the mainland has been complemented and operating since May 2025. This project unlocks Crete’s vast wind and solar potential and enables the shutdown of old polluting plants. Daniel Argyropoulos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/09/aria...

⚡The UK government says it wants more community energy projects. But the complexity of applying for funding and the lack of a guaranteed return have stymied progress. @rostaylor.bsky.social reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/09/comm... @ashden-org.bsky.social

⚡Nuclear plants undermine Ukraine’s security as they remain vulnerable to drone and artillery attacks. Yet Kyiv wants more of it, despite the fact that so much speaks for renewables to replace damaged conventional energy facilities. Paul Hockenos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/08/nowh...

⚡ As Europe shifts to decentralised renewables, a key challenge arises: how to fairly fund the rising costs of modernising electricity grids. Sinéad Thielen explores how tariff structures can support a fair, flexible system while protecting vulnerable consumers 👇 energytransition.org/2025/08/fair...

⚡ The UK needs more pylons to power its green future, but not everyone’s happy about the view. Can local anger stop the rollout – or is it already too late? @rostaylor.bsky.social reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/07/do-b... @zorasiebert.bsky.social @nationalgrid.bsky.social @boelleu.bsky.social

⚡Heat pumps aren’t just for homes anymore. A new wave of XXL systems is heating entire city districts in 🇩🇰 and 🇩🇪 If these large-scale systems prove effective, they could play a critical role in decarbonizing our societies and economies. Paul Hockenos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/06/denm...

⚡ In 2019, the EU launched legislation to grow RECs and bring citizen-led energy to new regions. All member states have acted – with mixed results. As the European Energy Communities Forum kicks off in Kraków, Paul Hockenos assesses the progress and hurdles ➡️ energytransition.org/2025/05/comm...

⚡ Solar farms on rewetted peatlands? This unlikely combination could offer a powerful double win for climate and land use - by turning degraded land into carbon sinks and clean energy sources. Lisa Sandtner reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/05/sola...

⚡ The EU promised a renewable energy future – but is it still on track? As political shifts and legal battles unfold, the #energytransition faces new hurdles. Are we still moving forward, or is Europe starting to backpedal? @sedenanlar.bsky.social reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/04/is-t...

⚡ Germany’s incoming government has finalized its coalition agreement. Throughout the campaign, Merz made it clear that climate protection wouldn't be a top priority. So what’s actually in the final agreement when it comes to climate? Paul Hockenos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/04/new-...

⚡ Will the EU go full speed ahead in terms of building more wind farms and solar power plants? Jörg Mühlenhoff looks into what the details of the #CleanIndustrialDeal mean for Europe’s #energytransition 👉 energytransition.org/2025/03/eus-...

⚡ Since 2019, Germany’s Climate Protection Act has had aimed to reduce Germany’s carbon emissions to zero by 2045. The incoming new government has to adhere to this law. Will it though? Paul Hockenos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/03/germ...

⚡ Three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Paul Hockenos compares EU and US efforts to cut reliance on Russian fossil fuels. On the ground, Ukraine’s transition to distributed renewables already rhymes with resilience against the aggressor 👇 energytransition.org/2025/02/stop...

⚡ Boosting passenger train transport is key for reducing greenhouse gas emissions of transport and for accelerating Europe’s energy transition. Are EU railways on track? The answer depends — Do you see the train as half full or half empty? @jonworth.eu reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/02/2025...

⚡ Donald Trump has not let up in denying the tie between fossil-fuel use & global warming. His supporters include the world’s largest oil companies and they are expecting to be paid back. But it won’t happen on ‘day one,’ as he claims. Paul Hockenos reports 👇 energytransition.org/2025/01/for-...
