The US International Trade Commission determined on Tuesday that domestic solar panel makers were materially harmed or threatened by a flood of cheap imports from four Southeast Asian nations, bringing the United States a step closer to imposing stiff duties on those goods. The "yes" vote by the three-member ITC means the US Commerce Department will issue orders to enforce countervailing and anti-dumping tariffs on solar products imported from Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam that the agency finalised last month.

As winter approaches, memories of the past haunt South Africans in more ways than one. The country has experienced years of rolling blackouts, known locally as load shedding. During the worst periods of these power cuts in 2022 and 2023, South Africans who did not own solar photovoltaic systems or generators would go without electricity for up to 12 hours a day.

Abstract: This study investigates the thermal performance of cavity-shaped porous solar receivers (C-PSR) designed to reduce peak solid temperature and re-radiation losses by optimizing the matching between the heat transfer fluid mass velocity and concentrated solar flux. In this study, a C-PSR prototype was fabricated and evaluated on an indoor sun simulator platform to validate the heat transfer model.

In 2027, Ilocos Norte's coastline may see a transformation, not from the natural ebb and flow of tides but from offshore turbines. The BuhaWind Floating Windmill Project, a 2,000-megawatt offshore wind farm, is poised to begin construction. With the first power expected in 2028 and full operation by 2030, this project marks the Philippines' entry into offshore wind energy, aligning with the Department of Energy's goal of generating 28 gigawatts of offshore wind by the end of the decade.

Liu on Tuesday delivered a keynote address at the Computex conference in Taiwan and advanced a theory that rich nations do two things to keep the cost of manufactured goods low: Allow immigration to bring in more people willing to work for low wages and outsource to low-GDP countries where costs are lower.

His remarks came a day after Gov. Kathy Hochul suggested that she was able to convince the president to keep the project alive because of her more forceful approach to the president in recent conversations.

After hydropower generation in the U.last year fell to 241 billion kilowatthours (BkWh), the lowest since at least 2010, a comeback is expected. The U.Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts that U.hydropower generation will increase by 7.in 2025, but will remain 2.below the 10-year average in its May Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO).
