Spain has reached a historic milestone by powering its mainland electricity grid entirely with renewable energy. On April 16, 2025, wind, solar, hydropower, and other renewable sources together supplied 100% of Spain’s mainland electricity demand. Wind energy led the mix, generating nearly 46% of total power, followed by solar at around 27% and hydropower at approximately 23%. At 11:15 a.m., electricity production from wind and solar alone exceeded national demand, a rare achievement for a large

Switzerland is pioneering a smart renewable solution by installing solar panels directly between railway tracks, transforming unused infrastructure into clean energy generators. • Specially designed removable solar panels are placed between active rail tracks. • Panels are engineered to withstand vibrations, weather, and train pressure. • Trains and maintenance vehicles can pass without disruption. • Generated electricity is fed into the local power grid or used for railway operations. • The sys

Power plants are closing across the country before new sources of electricity come online, putting Americans at risk of rolling blackouts and ever-higher prices – not to mention attempts to replace firm on-demand generation with unpredictable part-time wind and solar generation. Here’s a step to make sure that won’t happen in your state. https://alec.org/model-policy/the-electric-reliability-act/ | American Legislative Exchange Council | Facebook
