US prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss criminal fraud and conspiracy charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, who was accused of bribing officials for a major solar project. Adani's legal team consented to the dismissal, which still requires judicial approval.
Lima, Ohio, is deploying a floating solar array on a local reservoir to power its water treatment plant. The project aims to lower energy costs and preserve agricultural land, highlighting a broader regional transition toward renewable energy despite local opposition.
Two remote Indigenous communities have attracted a combined $11 million in funding for solutions to tackle their fuel security and cost-of-living crises.
The UK government's plan to de-link gas and electricity prices is a heavily diluted version of the more radical 'pot zero' proposal and will likely deliver only modest savings for consumers. While older wind and solar farms under the renewables obligation scheme receive around £200/MW/h compared to £91 for new projects, the reform only swaps the wholesale element to fixed-price contracts, not the legacy subsidy portion. Energy secretary Ed Miliband offered no bill reduction forecast, with savings dependent on take-up and likely to be modest under normal conditions.
