next-gen wind turbines

Explainer: Renewables innovation across solar, wind, and geothermal technologies

Next-generation renewables are pushing efficiency boundaries: perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells have reached 33.9% efficiency in labs, 15+ MW offshore wind turbines are entering commercial deployment, and enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) have demonstrated 3.5 MW net output at Fervo Energy's Utah site. This explainer covers the technology landscape, economics, and decision frameworks.
