Cyanergy, with over 12 years of experience in the renewable and energy efficiency sector, has partnered with Greener, a Sydney based clean-tech start-up, to help SMBs fast-track their sustainability journey towards net-zero emissions. With this new partnership Cyanergy’s business customers will have free access (usually valued at $228 per year) to Greener’s new digital platform solution, called Greener for Business, to help them prioritise the steps they can take to reduce their carbon footprint via a tailored action plan while gaining access to exclusive offers, expert advice, tips and how-to guides that make becoming more sustainable easier than ever. 

As part of the collaboration, Cyanergy is providing an exclusive Performance Guarantee for all solar panel installations, ensuring small and medium-sized businesses achieve maximum efficiency. This guarantee underscores Cyanergy’s commitment to delivering tangible results and facilitating a smooth transition to greener energy solutions, benefiting both the environment and the financial performance of businesses.

Moreover, Cyanergy’s collaboration with Greener for Business showcases our commitment to providing a comprehensive solution. By seamlessly integrating the advantages of both renewable and energy efficiency realms, we offer a full-circle solution. This approach ensures that businesses can harness the combined benefits of sustainable practices and increased energy efficiency for a holistic and impactful solution.

Australia’s SMBs make up more than 98% of all businesses and contribute more than $506 billion to the economy. With 43% of small businesses running at a loss, and an estimated 48% of new businesses failing within the first four years, Australia’s 2.5 million SMBs are doing it tough. But with the right support, under-resourced and time-poor SMBs can play a vital role in the fight against climate change and improve their bottom line by taking climate action.

While the implementation of sustainable practices has traditionally been time-intensive and costly, Greener has built a solution that removes these pain points by making it easy for you to transform your operations across key emissions areas such as energy, waste, electrification, packaging, and logistics while also helping to unlock savings for your bottom line. For example, switching to Green Energy could save the average small business upwards of $800 a year and reduce emissions by 11.5 tonnes while high-impact changes like installing rooftop solar could save businesses upwards of $7,000 per year on their electricity bills in less than five years.

Australia’s $17B Grid Expansion, Recycling Blades to Steel

Allen covers Suzlon hitting 2 GW in a single Indian state, Nabrawind’s crane-free turbine install in Namibia, Antora’s South Dakota thermal battery, Australia’s $17 billion grid expansion, and Shimizu recycling old turbine blades into steel.

GOOD MORNING.

The wind industry is not just getting bigger.

It is getting smarter.

And today … we have the proof.

Let us start in India.

SUZLON GROUP just crossed a milestone.

Two gigawatts of wind orders … in a single Indian state.

The latest deal … sixty-five turbines at three megawatts each

for a company called SUNSURE ENERGY.

SUNSURE is not a utility.

It is an independent power producer

building round-the-clock clean energy

for data centers … electric vehicles … and heavy industry.

Wind paired with solar and battery storage.

Power that does not stop when the sun goes down.

SUZLON is already building six hundred and sixty-four megawatts

of additional commercial and industrial projects in the same region.

And SUNSURE … backed by PARTNERS GROUP of Switzerland …

has seven gigawatts in development across India

with a target of ten gigawatts by two thousand thirty.

That is not government-led.

That is private capital chasing wind.

Now … across the ocean to Africa.

A Spanish company called NABRAWIND [NAH-brah-wind]

just solved a problem that has plagued remote wind farms for years.

How do you install a turbine

when you cannot get a crane to the site?

Their answer is a system called SKYLIFT.

No heavy-lift cranes. None.

A self-erecting tower combined with a blade installation tool

they call the BLADERUNNER.

They just put up a GOLDWIND six-megawatt turbine

at a wind farm in NAMIBIA.

And here is the part that changes the math.

Traditional crane installation needs calm air.

Six to eight meters per second. Maximum.

NABRAWIND’s system works in fifteen meters per second sustained …

with gusts up to twenty.

That site blows hard. All the time.

Which is exactly why they chose it.

When complete … seven turbines …

two hundred and thirty gigawatt-hours a year.

About six percent of NAMIBIA’s entire electricity demand.

NABRAWIND was acquired by Australia’s FORTESCUE last year

as part of its industrial decarbonization push.

So India is stacking private-sector wind orders.

Africa is installing turbines without cranes.

And in SOUTH DAKOTA …

they are storing the wind itself.

A California startup called ANTORA ENERGY

just built a five-gigawatt-hour thermal battery

at an ethanol plant in BIG STONE CITY.

More than two hundred solid carbon blocks.

When the wind blows at night and nobody needs the power …

the blocks absorb cheap electricity and heat up.

When the plant needs energy …

the blocks release heat or generate electricity

through special cells that capture light

from superheated material.

Think of it as a giant toaster oven battery.

Full power expected by October.

The plant’s president put it simply.

Nobody has got a switch for the wind.

It blows when it wants to blow.

Now … down under.

The AUSTRALIAN government just announced

the biggest single expansion of its electricity grid.

Nineteen renewable energy projects.

Seven-point-eight gigawatts of generation.

Seven-point-nine gigawatt-hours of battery storage.

Seventeen billion dollars in private investment.

Nineteen thousand construction jobs.

Power for four million homes.

Among the largest … RWE’s [arr-vay’s] THEODORE wind farm in QUEENSLAND.

One-point-one gigawatts. Up to one hundred and seventy turbines.

Three billion Australian dollars.

RWE … the same company building offshore wind

in England and Denmark …

is now building onshore in AUSTRALIA.

And the AUSTRALIAN government is not stopping.

They just opened the next round of tenders.

Another five gigawatts.

Finally … JAPAN.

Major contractor SHIMIZU [shee-MEE-zoo] CORPORATION

has developed a way to recycle old wind turbine blades.

Not into park benches. Not into landfill.

Into steel.

The blades are cut and crushed into a material

that goes into electric furnaces

to adjust the carbon content of steel …

making it harder and stronger.

JAPAN expects to replace one hundred to two hundred turbines a year

by the two thousand thirties.

That is two to three thousand tonnes of blade waste. Annually.

SHIMIZU has built about twenty percent

of the wind power facilities in JAPAN.

They see this technology as a way to grow

their entire wind energy business.

So … let us step back.

India stacks two gigawatts of private-sector wind orders.

Africa installs turbines in gale-force winds … without a crane.

South Dakota stores surplus wind in superheated carbon blocks.

Australia backs nineteen projects with seventeen billion dollars.

And Japan turns old blades into stronger steel.

From the factory floor to the scrap yard …

from the wind farm to the furnace …

the industry is solving problems

at every stage of a turbine’s life.

And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 25th of May 2026.

Join us for the UPTIME WIND ENERGY PODCAST tomorrow.

Is School a Jail Sentence?

Published

on

We’ve all heard ideas like the one being expressed here, though this one sounds extreme.  Jail sentence?  Education is exclusively an exercise in pounding in bad habits?

What’s the outcome for students in the very worst of our schools that make no attempt whatsoever to help its pupils learn to think critically?  Well, their kids learn to:

  • Read and write
  • Do math, at least through algebra
  • Understand some level of history and geography
  • Make friends and get along with others
  • Establish independence from the parents
  • Gain the qualifications for employment

What’s the alternative? Illiteracy? Social isolation? Child labor? Poverty?  Neurotic sloth? Being a burden on society?

Is it a coincidence that the countries with the best educated children are the happiest, sanest and most productive nations on the planet?

Is School a Jail Sentence?
