TPG Rise-backed Matrix Renewables has begun commercial operations at its 281MW-direct current/210MW-alternating current Stillhouse Solar photovoltaic (PV) project in Bell County, Texas. The project required an investment exceeding $380m (€322.56m) and represents one of the company’s major recent developments in the US.

The wind turbine market continues to grow apace, supported by decreasing costs, evolving technology, increased demand for renewable energy, and a steady shift toward more environmentally friendly solutions. According to projections published by GlobalData, the global installed wind power capacity is set to increase to 3,207.2GW by 2035, with the development of large-scale wind farms emerging as a dominant trend in the global market.

US hydropower generation is expected to recover in 2026, even as snow drought conditions in parts of the western US constrain water availability, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). In its April Short-Term Energy Outlook, the agency forecasts output will rise by 5% to 259 billion kilowatt-hours, up from 245 billion kilowatt-hours in 2025. Despite the increase, generation will remain 1.8% below the ten-year average and account for around 6% of total US electricity supply.

Vestas has secured a 70MW order from Tessa Green Energy to supply 11 EnVentus V162‑6.4MW turbines for the Strazhitsa wind project in Bulgaria, with a long‑term Active Output Management 5000 service agreement included. The scheme is one of the first major wind awards in the country after a long market pause and is seen as a milestone in the revival of Bulgaria’s onshore wind sector.

Upon completion, the project is set to become one of the largest offshore wind farms in the UK. Credit: fokke baarssen/Shutterstock.com. The UK Secretary of State has granted development consent for the 1.5GW Outer Dowsing offshore wind farm in the southern North Sea. The project, a joint venture between Corio, TotalEnergies and Gulf Energy Development, received approval in February .

Adani Energy Solutions (AESL), via its subsidiary Adani Electricity Mumbai Infrastructure (AEMIL), has initiated a 1GW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link in Mumbai, India. The project will enhance grid stability and energy security throughout the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), decreasing reliance on local generation and minimising the risk of outages.
