Alto Ingredients Pops in June as Biofuel Credits Rally

Alto Ingredients Inc. opens Monday’s U.S. trade after shares jumped 4.61% Friday to finish at $5.45 with around 3.1 million shares changing hands. That’s ahead of the S&P 500, which was up 0.22%, and the Nasdaq Composite, up 0.20%. The rally now faces a normal trading day instead of a quiet holiday period. Nasdaq runs pre-market, regular, and after-hours trading, with the main open at 9:30 a.m. ET and the close at 4:00 p.m. ET. June 1 isn’t a listed holiday. Nasdaq’s next closure is Juneteenth on June 19.

Founder Group Stock Just Ripped 40% — Why Traders Are Watching This Tiny Solar Name

• Founder Group closed up 40.43% at $2.64, then traded at $2.75 after hours.• A resale-registration filing tied to a convertible note became the main fresh item for traders.• The Malaysia solar contractor still carries dilution, execution and listing-history risks. Founder Group Limited’s Nasdaq-listed shares surged 40.43% on Wednesday, closing at $2.64 on heavy volume before rising to $2.75 in after-hours trading, a sharp move for a small Malaysia-focused solar contractor with little fresh operating news in the last 48 hours.

Fusion Fuel Stock Jumps After Spain Hydrogen Deal — What HTOO Investors Are Watching Now

Fusion Fuel Green PLC shares were back in focus before Friday’s Nasdaq open after the company said its BrightHy Solutions unit would provide installation, supply, engineering and operating services for a two-megawatt green hydrogen plant at a Çimsa Cementos operation in Spain. Market data from TradingView showed HTOO at $3.16, up 10.7% over 24 hours, with a market value of about $9.54 million. That is small. It also means a single “multi-million-dollar” project can carry more weight for the stock than it would at a larger industrial group. TradingView data also showed HTOO down 72.3% over the past year.

ANZ Shares Slip After Dividend Date as First Nations Solar Deal Moves Ahead

ANZ Group Holdings Limited has confirmed it’s among the backers of the Jinbi Solar Project, stepping in as the First Nations-led renewables venture reached financial close — a key milestone for construction in Western Australia’s Pilbara. The announcement came as ANZ shares slipped on Monday, trading ex-dividend for the interim payout. Financial close locks in critical funding, contracts, approvals, and consents—final, with no strings attached. For ANZ, this deal lands the bank squarely in the spotlight on a major Indigenous-led infrastructure project. Australia’s big banks are facing pressure: rate swings, choppy markets, and a sluggish pace in household lending are all in play.

Fortescue’s $1 Billion Court Test Arrives as Rio Tinto Locks In Pilbara Solar Deal

Fortescue Ltd is staring down a pivotal week in its protracted battle with the Yindjibarndi people. The Federal Court is set for its ruling on Tuesday, deciding over compensation linked to the miner’s Solomon Hub iron ore site in Western Australia’s Pilbara. The Yindjibarndi are pressing for a payout topping A$1 billion for cultural and economic loss, according to a statement from the group. Fortescue, for its part, argues that compensation should be capped around A$8.1 million. This timing has thrown the spotlight squarely on the issue. According to The West Australian, Rio Tinto locked in a solar agreement with Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation right before the ruling, putting partnerships with traditional owners back in focus for iron ore groups navigating

SSE PLC Just Cleared A 158MW Wind Hurdle — Why Investors Are Watching May 28

SSE PLC’s renewables division picked up planning approval, working with FuturEnergy Ireland, for a planned 158MW onshore wind project in North Mayo. The proposed Glenora Wind Farm—22 turbines in all, located near Ballycastle and Belderrig—adds another Irish development for the UK utility ahead of its full-year results expected later this month, SSE Renewables said Friday. Timing is key here: SSE wants to demonstrate progress in its renewables pipeline even as it shifts focus further toward grids and regulated electricity networks. The group’s five-year investment blueprint comes in at £33 billion. Back in April, SSE projected adjusted earnings per share — that’s profit per share minus certain items — would land between 147 pence and 152 pence for the year ended

TotalEnergies Opens 400-kW Berlin EV Hub as Germany’s Charging Race Speeds Up

TotalEnergies has launched an 18-bay ultra-fast EV charging hub close to Berlin Central Station, installing 400-kilowatt chargers in one of the city’s main transit corridors as Germany’s push for urban charging picks up speed. The site sits on Invalidenstrasse, wedged between Hamburger Bahnhof and the Berlin Social Court, with all units drawing electricity from renewable sources certified by guarantees of origin. The numbers landed at a key moment. Germany’s VDA auto group reported a 41% jump in battery-electric car registrations for April, reaching 64,350. Broader electric vehicle figures—including plug-in hybrids and fuel-cell models—climbed 32% to 91,898, lifting the share for electrified cars to 37% of all new registrations.

AusNet’s Compulsory Land Bid Puts Farmers On Collision Course With Victoria’s Western Renewables Link

AusNet has asked the Victorian government for the authority to forcibly secure land easements for its Western Renewables Link, turning up the heat in its ongoing dispute with farmers over the high-profile grid project. An easement gives legal access to use a section of a property—typically without taking ownership of the entire farm. This is significant right now: Victoria updated its law in March, allowing transmission firms to push for compulsory easements even as an Environment Effects Statement—known as the EES—remains in progress. The EES serves as the state’s official probe into a project's environmental, social, and economic impacts.

Standard Chartered’s £500 Million Solar Deal Puts UK Clean-Energy Finance Back in Play

Standard Chartered PLC is backing as much as 500 million pounds in financing for a set of UK solar and battery projects—another clean-energy push for the Asia-focused lender, as Britain ramps up efforts to boost power investment. London-listed lender Standard Chartered is stepping in as mandated lead arranger, bookrunner, lender and hedging counterparty on a senior secured platform financing aimed at backing solar photovoltaic projects paired with battery energy storage systems—those BESS units that store power and discharge it when demand spikes. The financing covers development, construction and ongoing operations.

Green Energy Tech News Today: Wind Breaks a Record While Batteries Race to Fix the Grid

Wind power additions worldwide soared to 165 gigawatts last year, up 40% from 2024, according to a Monday report from the Global Wind Energy Council. China contributed a hefty 120.5 GW of that new capacity. The global installed base now stands just shy of 1.3 terawatts. This figure is drawing attention as power demand ticks up and policymakers renew their focus on substitutes for unpredictable fossil fuels. Nearly half of the world’s electricity capacity came from renewables last year, according to Reuters, and with Middle East tensions pushing oil and gas prices higher, the hunt for local energy options has intensified.

SSE PLC Raises FY26 Earnings Guidance as Renewables Output Climbs, Grid Spend Accelerates

SSE raised the lower band of its full-year earnings forecast on Thursday, crediting a jump in renewables output and increased investment in its electricity networks for the improved outlook. The UK utility is now targeting adjusted earnings per share between 147 pence and 152 pence for the year to March 31—narrowing in from its earlier view of 144 pence to 152 pence. Preliminary results land May 28. The update drops just as Britain’s energy sector hits a tricky patch. Fresh government numbers out Thursday put renewables at 52.5% of the country’s power in 2025—a record. But Cornwall Insight analysts now expect the household energy price cap, which limits standard tariffs each quarter, to jump roughly 18% in July.

BAE Systems plc Confirmed for £95 Million UK Radar Contract as Britain Moves to Unlock Offshore Wind

BAE Systems has officially landed a contract to provide and install next-generation air-defense radar systems, according to the UK government—a move officials say should pave the way for expanded offshore wind. The deal was confirmed in a parliamentary written answer dated March 31, following ministerial comments on the radar upgrade earlier in March. Timing is key here: London wants more wind power, but it can't afford to mess with the RAF's surveillance of UK airspace—especially while shipping more air-defense equipment and personnel out to the Middle East. Ministers claim the broader radar overhaul could open the door for as much as 10 gigawatts in offshore wind, with installation possibly starting in early 2029.

SSE Stock Price Slips Despite Solar Milestone and Enerveo Sale as Growth Test Nears

SSE shares dropped to 2,464 pence on Friday, down from Thursday’s 2,504 pence finish, despite the utility flagging new solar developments and a minor sale via its Enerveo arm. The company’s feed pointed to a fresh solar project going live that day. On the M&A front, Amcomri confirmed it’s picking up an Enerveo unit. SSE shares barely budged, a detail that stands out as investors weigh if incremental operating changes can really underpin the company’s outsized ambitions in grids and renewables. Back in November, the stock surged over 11% after SSE rolled out its 33 billion pound, five-year investment blueprint. But even after that jump, shares still trade below the 2,763-pence high set on March 17. Investors now look to

Clean Energy Incentives Return as EU Clears Denmark Wind Aid, France Hydrogen Support Amid Energy Price Shock

The European Commission cleared a €5 billion Danish offshore wind aid package and signed off on French backing for renewable and low-carbon hydrogen this Monday, putting new clean-energy incentives in focus as Europe looks to limit its exposure to imported fuel shocks. The calendar is a factor, with the energy crunch now spilling over into the broader economy. Euro zone consumer confidence slumped this March to lows not seen since late 2023. “One of the largest falls on record,” said Andrew Kenningham at Capital Economics, outside of the pandemic and Ukraine war periods.

Nvidia, NextEra, AES Stocks in Focus as AI-Powered Grid Plan Targets Renewable Energy Efficiency

Nvidia and startup Emerald AI said Monday they're teaming up with AES, Constellation, NextEra Energy, and Vistra to develop “flexible AI factories.” These data centers are designed to adjust electricity consumption in real time, tapping on-site generation and batteries to cut down on grid-connection delays. Early in U.S. trading, Nvidia climbed $4.32 to $177.02, NextEra pushed up $1.04 to $90.54, Vistra jumped $3.98 to $150.00, Constellation rallied $7.72 to $289.71, and AES inched up three cents to $14.13. This move highlights a challenge now rippling through U.S. power markets: electricity is fast becoming the main bottleneck for AI expansion. Earlier this month, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected that power demand will set new records in both 2026 and 2027.

ScottishPower CEO blasts UK wind auction rules, jabs Ørsted as customer complaints pile up

Keith Anderson, chief executive at ScottishPower, took aim at the UK’s newest offshore wind subsidy round, saying tweaks to the rules are pushing developers to enter bids before securing planning consent—a move he claims boosts the risk of delays and potential non-delivery. This dispute carries weight: Britain’s 2030 clean-power target rests on offshore wind, and officials want to keep costs down for consumers. The tool in play is the Contracts for Difference scheme—a government-supported contract locking in a “strike price” for electricity. If market prices dip below that level, the scheme kicks in with a top-up; if prices climb higher, operators pay back the difference.
