In October alone, 850MW of solar PV capacity was added to the Italian grid, the most in a single month in the past two years. Solar PV represented most of the new renewable energy installed last year, and now stands at 43.5GW cumulatively. Italy passed the 40GW threshold over the summer. Despite the year-on-year decrease […]

(Image source: Casio) The gold full-metal G-Shock GMW-BZ5000GD-9 has finally arrived in the UK, completing Casio’s latest premium square lineup. Priced at £619, it joins the silver and dark grey models that launched in the country in December
The Section 5.3.4 milestone indicates that the project’s technical modeling and proposed plant design satisfy requirements relating to system strength, fault ride-through capability, voltage and frequency response and reactive power performance. For utility-scale solar projects in the National Electricity Market (NEM), achieving this stage is essential before finalising a connection agreement and progressing toward construction.

New high-resolution observations by ESA’s Solar Orbiter mission show that solar flares are driven by cascading magnetic reconnection events, unleashing vast energy and ‘raining’ plasma blobs across the Sun’s atmosphere. Overview of the impulsive phase of an M-class solar flare, observed by ESA’s Solar Orbiter. Image credit: ESA / Solar Orbiter / Chitta et al.,

Despite a decrease in funding volume in 2025, the number of deals increased year-over-year from 157 in 2024 to 175 in 2025. Another positive outcome in 2025 is that the number of large-scale solar PV acquisitions increased by 13%, with 246 compared to the 217 registered in 2024. However, the increased number of acquisitions did
