This is enough to cover the daily electricity needs of roughly 700,000 homes. Utility-scale systems accounted for most of the growth, including seven new projects exceeding 1 GWh each. The country is now on track to install 71 GWh in 2026, 20% more than last year, driven by cheaper batteries and growing demand for storage alongside solar and wind generation.

Founder of Stack Chronicle and a journalist with experience across several local and national radio stations (including RTL2, Hit West, Euradio and Figaro Radio in France, and WDET in Detroit, Michigan), I began taking a deeper interest in technology in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. I quickly realised, that few media outlets were building meaningful connections between technology, AI, finance, politics and environmental issues. That observation led to the creation of Stack Chronicle: a publication designed to help both curious readers and more informed audiences understand the technological transformations shaping our world.
