Higher Electricity Rates In Blue States Linked To Renewable Energy Policies
Authored by AG News Staff via American Greatness,
A new analysis by Always On Energy Research and the Institute for Energy Research concludes that renewable energy mandates and net-zero policies have contributed to higher electricity prices in states that adopted them, while states with fewer climate-related mandates generally have lower electricity costs.
The analysis examined electricity pricing data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and found that most states with electricity rates above the national average voted for the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2020 and 2024 elections.
According to the report, 86 percent of states with above-average electricity prices supported the Democratic nominee in both elections. By comparison, 80 percent of the 10 states with the lowest electricity prices voted for the Republican nominee.
Researchers said the study focused on identifying policy differences betwee...

Low-cost loans for solar panels could save households hundreds on bills – thinktanks (The Guardian)

|
New Economics Foundation and Finance Innovation Lab suggest loan scheme backed by Bank of England could benefit up to 8m homesMillions of UK households could save hundreds of pounds a year on their energy bills if the government were to approve low-cost loans for solar panel installation, research has found.Solar panels with batteries are one of the cheapest ways to generate electricity and reduce energy bills, but with an upfront cost of about £6,000 they are still beyond the reach of most cash-strapped UK households while other countries forge ahead with installation.

Energie: Erneuerbare im Aufwind, Emissionen im Plus (SG)
|
|
|
Der jährliche Statistical Review des Energy Institute zeigt für 2025 ein gemischtes Bild der globalen Energieversorgung: Einerseits schreitet der Ausbau neuer Energietechnologien mit hohem Tempo voran, andererseits steigt die weltweite Energienachfrage weiter. Der globale Energieverbrauch legte 2025 um 1,7% auf mehr als 600 Exajoule (rund 167.000 TWh) zu, die energiebedingten CO2-Emissionen stiegen um 1,1% auf 35,8 Gigatonnen. Trotz des kräftigen Ausbaus erneuerbarer Energien machen fossile Energieträger weiterhin rund 86% im globalen Energiemix aus.. --- Rechenzentren und KI-Anwendungen wurden erstmals separat ausgewiesen; ihr Stromverbrauch sprang um 20% nach oben und entspricht inzwischen 2,4% des globalen Stromverbrauchs.. --- Europa deckte rund 48% seines Gasbedarfs über LNG, wovon 52% aus den USA stammten. Vollständig beendet ist die Abhängigkeit von Russland damit aber nicht, denn zusätzlich importierte Europa weiterhin 20,3 Mrd. Kubikmeter russisches Gas in Form von LNG

KKR And SK Launch South Korea's Largest Renewable Energy Platform
By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com
Global investment firm KKR and South Korea's industrial conglomerate SK Inc are launching the single biggest renewable energy platform in South Korea to help meet growing power demand from AI and chip manufacturing.
KKR and SK Inc are creating the platform, valued at about $1.3 billion, or 2 trillion South Korean won, to combine 1.7 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy capacity in operation and a pipeline of projects in development that would boost the platform's total capacity to 10 GW, the investment firm said in a statement.
The renewable electricity will help meet South Korea's surging clean-power demand from AI data centers and semiconductor manufacturing, according to the global investor.
The 10 GW capacity targeted by the platform would be capable of simultaneously and continuously powering 100 large-scale, 100MW-class data centers, KKR said.
“At this scale, the Platform is well ...
