Australia breaks ground on Tasmania-Victoria connection project
Australia has started work on the Tasmania-Victoria interconnector, a transmission project that is meant to move more power between the mainland and Tasmania. For renewables, this matters because stronger interconnection can ease grid bottlenecks and support higher shares of wind and hydro on both sides of the link.

FMO & CIP commit $276 million for renewable energy projects
This appears to be a funding commitment for renewable energy projects, likely aimed at moving projects in growth markets from plan to execution. Deals like this matter because they lower the financing barrier for new clean-power capacity and support faster deployment where capital is often the main constraint.

South Korea signs MoU for 320MW green hydrogen complex
South Korea is moving a proposed green hydrogen project forward with an MoU for a 320MW complex. If developed, it would add another large-scale hydrogen asset to Asia’s clean-fuel buildout and support industrial decarbonization, though the agreement still appears to be an early-stage step rather than a final investment decision.

Amazon, Constellation sign 20-year PPA to expand Maryland nuclear plant
Amazon’s long-term power deal with Constellation points to continued corporate demand for firm low-carbon electricity, and it gives the Maryland nuclear plant a clearer revenue path for an expansion. The agreement also shows how large buyers are using nuclear capacity, not just wind and solar, to support round-the-clock decarbonization.
