We invested 2M euros into a solar project that doesn’t just make energy — it brings nature back 🌳
It now powers almost 6,000 households and saves around 8,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year.
Clean power, restored soil, biodiversity. This is how we back Ecosia with 100% green energy ✨
Every Ecosia search helps make projects like this possible.
Some reporting on excellent news about:
the physics professor who became Uruguay's energy secretary, and within five years had the country on 98% renewable energy.
and economically it was a smash hit
the cost of electricity production decreased by roughly half compared to fossil-fuel alternatives, and the country attracted $6 billion in renewable energy investments
Going forward,
He hopes to help 50 countries move to renewables over the next ten years. He said, "We want to prove that an energy transition can be possible in different geographies and can work in different national energy and political contexts."
The National Energy System Operator (Neso) is responding to claims that in the extensive queue for connections to the national grid, there are a lot of speculative projects that would never be built.... NESO will now remove projects they designate as 'speculative' so viable projects get earlier connection dates & so get on with building capacity.
Its a good idea, but those projects designated as 'speculative' may well launch legal challenges stalling the process?

"By 2030, Viet Nam, the Philippines and Indonesia each aim for renewables accounting for over half of their installed capacity."
Of course they may not succeed but as they account for "nearly 60% of ASEAN’s power demand and emissions" that would be pretty amazing.
Pakistan's rooftop solar generation will exceed power demand for the first time on the country's electrical grid during daytime hours in some major industrial regions next year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/11/24/energy/pakistan-solar-demand/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #pakistan #solar #renewables
