Solar farms and cheaper energy sources could be key to getting more small players in the game. Latest data from MBIE shows total energy supply decreased last year, while renewable energy generation increased. Coal consumption dropped to a new record low, and natural gas consumption fell to its lowest level since 2008. Energy security expert David Keat told Mike Hosking solar farms are relatively cheap. He says small companies can build a solar farm up north, do a deal with a farmer, and supply power to the grid. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's growing calls for another look at solar power and renewable energy following a chilly week for the nation. The recent cold snap has brought a power warning across the country, with Transpower expecting record electricity demand. The current Government, Labour and the Greens are all considering changes when it comes to solar power in our country, but is solar the answer to our energy issues and rising power bills? Rewiring Aotearoa research and development lead Josh Ellison says power bills have been on the rise over the last few years - and they're outpacing inflation. "It's been increasing a lot faster than inflation and a lot faster than it should be increasing, and so I think the shock gets bigger every year."

Program description: Darers & Doers showcases groundbreaking innovations from China and features company founders and CEOs who are turning cool, bold ideas into reality. Produced by Caixin Global. Episode intro: Solar is one of China's most crowded renewable-energy sectors, if not the most. But a new generation of entrepreneurs is looking beyond manufacturing and capacity, finding new ways to turn solar into an investable and profitable business. In this episode of Darers & Doers, Li Wenxuan, founder, chairman and CEO of PCG Power Technology, explains how he has built a business around making distributed solar work for commercial and industrial users — helping factories and industrial parks cut energy costs, improve efficiency and secure a more reliable supply of green power. PCG Power turned a profit just two years after its founding. It has since grown into one of China's largest distributed-energy companies, operating 2 gigawatts of grid connected capacity and serving hundreds of customers. The company has also attracted backing from Singapore's state-owned investor Temasek and Saudi's Aramco, and has partnered with the U.K.'s Octopus Energy on power trading. Speaking with host Kelsey Cheng, Li explains how China's vast industrial power market has created a unique testing ground for new energy business models, and how PCG Power plans to take that experience overseas. He also addresses concerns about overcapacity and dumping in China's renewable-energy industry, and how technologies such as storage, virtual power plants and artificial intelligence can help address shortfalls of renewable generation.

The Regulation Minister's hopeful solar power will be well on its way to being more accessible – pre-election. A report from his ministry outlines recommendations to ease New Zealand installs. He says it'll slash costs and approval times for smaller installations and legalise plug-in systems – which are already legal in Australia. David Seymour told Mike Hosking it's a pretty affordable way for people to get into generating their own power, bringing down their bills. He says it's exactly the kind of red tape we should be cutting. Seymour admits the systems can pose a danger but says there are too many stupid rules in this country premised on the idea that the people themselves are stupid. He thinks that if Australians are smart enough to manage the danger, then New Zealanders definitely are. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Seymour is pushing to legalise plug-in solar panels, saying Kiwis are smart enough to handle the fire risk. His Regulation Ministry's newly released report recommends ways to make New Zealand the easiest place to go solar. They also include suggestions to slash installation approval times and costs - in some cases by thousands of dollars. Seymour says plug-in solar can be hazardous, but current regulations assume people are stupid. "I think people can work this out, and it means a whole lot of people - so this is going to be like Australia, you just go to Kmart and buy a solar panel and it starts cutting down your power bill."

Scientists have uncovered an incredible secret hiding in plain sight on coral reefs. Some tropical sea sponges are able to harvest sunlight through microscopic algae living inside their tissues, giving them a surprising source of energy. It is a discovery that challenges what we thought we knew about one of the ocean's oldest animals. In this episode, we explore how these ancient filter feeders use a partnership with algae to survive and thrive in nutrient-poor tropical waters. You'll learn why this relationship is similar to the one that helps corals build reefs and why researchers believe sponges play a much bigger role in reef ecosystems than previously recognized. Sometimes the most important discoveries come from the animals we pay the least attention to. If we want to protect coral reefs, we need to understand every species that helps keep them functioning. This new research reminds us that even the simplest-looking organisms can have extraordinary abilities and may be far more important than we ever imagined.

Plugging a a solar panel into your own wall is currently illegal in New Zealand, but the Government's looking into changing that. In a post on Facebook, Energy Minister Simeon Brown says work is currently under way to make this change happen. Rewiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey has welcomed this move, saying this development would be 'amazing'. "It's something that we thought needed to happen in New Zealand, it hasn't happened in Australia yet - we copy a lot of our regulations and standards from Australia, so we're breaking the mould and heading out and doing it ourselves."

In May 2026, our co-host Laurent Segalen had the privilege of chairing a high-profile panel hosted by SolarPower Europe at its annual Solar Power Summit in Brussels, one of the leading gatherings for the European solar and energy storage sectors.  In this episode, we bring you highlights from the hour-long conversation, featuring two distinguished industry leaders: Fredrik Andrén Sandberg from RWE and Hanna Kunzmann from EQT. Between them, their organisations oversee more than 10 GW of battery storage projects either in operation or under development, offering a unique perspective on the realities of financing and scaling storage assets.  The discussion addressed one of the most important questions facing the energy transition today: the bankability of battery storage investments. As battery deployment accelerates across Europe and beyond, investors, developers, and policymakers are increasingly focused on understanding the risks and opportunities that will determine the sector's long-term attractiveness.  The conversation examines battery bankability through four interconnected dimensions. First, technology risk: are batteries still exposed to meaningful technological uncertainty, or have the key challenges shifted towards commercial execution? Second, commercial risk: how should investors evaluate revenue models, merchant exposure, and the growing role of hybridisation strategies? Third, regulatory risk: what policy and market-design uncertainties could affect future returns, from evolving capacity mechanisms to unexpected rule changes? Finally, digital risk: how critical are cybersecurity, battery management systems (BMS), and energy management systems (EMS) in safeguarding performance and protecting asset value over the long term?  The session attracted a packed audience in Brussels and has since been widely praised for the quality, depth, and practical insights of the discussion. Whether you are an investor, developer, policymaker, or simply interested in the future of energy storage, this episode offers a valuable window into how some of the industry's leading players assess risk and opportunity in one of the fastest-growing sectors of the energy transition.

A new study claims that by fitting your home out with solar panels and swapping to an EV, you can save $3000 a year. The savings gap between electric homes and cars and fossil fuelled homes and cars has doubled in two years as energy prices have increased and the price of solar, batteries, electric vehicles and other appliances has fallen. CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa Mike Casey told Mike Hosking that, 'Solar on the roof charging an EV is the cheapest overall. So it's kind of one step at a time is what we're advising most people.' He says more Kiwis should be thinking about a gradual switch to solar power. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anjal Niraula, CEO of Gham Power, shares the story behind this Nepal-based solar enterprise that has spent over a decade bringing reliable electricity to communities across the Himalayas — from Mount Everest Base Camp to rural smallholder farmers — by evolving through every shift the market and the country have thrown at them. The conversation moves through 18-hour daily blackouts, a mountain biking expedition across the Annapurnas that closed Gham Power's first million-dollar round, the hard lessons of building a board from scratch, and what it means to lead a company through earthquakes, protests, and a pandemic while staying grounded as a new father. It is a rich and generous conversation about patience, reinvention, and what it really takes to build something that lasts in one of the world's most challenging environments.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that solar power is beating coal for electricity generation in the U.S.

Energy and Environmental Economics Partner talks with CEM Associate Editor Abigail Sawyer about the changing shape of resource adequacy in the Desert Southwest as utilities try to thread the needle on reliably meeting a new level of "baseload demand" while striving for affordability and meeting state clean energy goals. 

There are hopes a new solar-powered housing model could save homeowners thousands of dollars a year in power bills. Fletcher Living is launching a solar-home pilot at its Greenstead development in Lincoln. Octopus Energy will manage the household's energy use, offsetting the cost of any electricity, with no bills promised for the first five years. Chief Executive Steve Evans told Heather du Plessis-Allan solar actually has a lifespan of about 25 years. He says some customers don't want to be tied to a provider for longer than five years, and they believe this pilot will expand. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nour Haydar speaks with Christopher Knaus about the BHP files – the cache of internal documents leaked to the Guardian and the ABC's Four Corners – which show that the world's biggest miner has war-gamed ways to massively delay decarbonisation

Space-based solar power – it's a hot and electrifying topic again (sorry for the pun!) What is the state of the art? What are the commercial use cases? How do the economics look? We'll dive into this and more with our guest Marc Berte, CEO & Founder of Overview Energy. Enjoy!

Mark Carney says Canada can become an energy superpower, given its potential in oil, gas, electricity, solar, and wind. But as we are seeing now, to get there, some old promises need to change. Is that price too high? Just some of the questions and one of the issues for Chantal and Bruce on today's Good Talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Space-based solar power promises clean, dependable energy beamed from orbit to Earth — but does the business case close? That debate starts here. Laura Winter speaks with George Pullen, Chief Space Economist, Milky Way Economy; Martin Soltau, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Space Solar; and Richard Winslade, Chief Financial Officer, Space Solar.

The LAPD announces scores of burglary arrests in response to a surge in break-ins in the Valley. Solar power companies say they're going broke because of a sloppy state program.

It sounds like something straight out of science fiction: giant solar panels floating in space, beaming energy back down to Earth. Companies like Meta and space agencies in Japan are taking the idea seriously, hoping it could help power growing energy demands. Supporters say space-based solar could deliver constant, around-the-clock clean energy because the sun never stops shining. Critics say the technology is wildly expensive and still far from reality. Matt Galloway speaks with former NASA physicist John C. Mankins and former NASA technology policy chief Charity Weeden about whether this is the future of energy or a very expensive fantasy.

Gene therapy has been quietly pulling off miracles, and this week, it got its Oscars moment. Emma Varvaloucas, Executive Director of The Progress Network, breaks down how a husband-and-wife scientific team's decades-long quest has restored sight to over 100 blind Americans, and how a brand-new drug called Otarmeni just became the first-ever FDA-approved gene therapy for genetic deafness. The science is extraordinary. The price tags, less so.Plus: The United Kingdom passes a genuinely radical generational ban on smoking; the US Senate unanimously bans members and staffers from betting on prediction markets, after some were caught betting on their own races; and Meta inks a deal to beam solar power down from space.What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and Kaleidoscope.For transcripts, to join the newsletter, and for more information, visit: theprogressnetwork.orgSubscribe to our (FREE) Substack newsletter: https://theprogressnetwork.org/newsletter/Watch the podcast on YouTube: / theprogressnetworkFollow us on X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok: @progressntwrkFollow Emma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyemmavarv/
