Last update: 10 hours agoHimalayan Flood Disaster: Nepal and China’s flash floods after a glacier collapse have killed at least 579 in Nepal (China: 5) and left 1,924 missing in Nepal and 558 missing in Tibet, with fears of a renewed surge as a debris-dammed “barrier lake” overflows. Hydropower Hit Hard: The torrent damaged hydropower plants and left hundreds of hydropower workers unaccounted for, including more than 100 trapped in a mud-filled tunnel where Nepal’s army is running helicopter-assisted rescues. Cross-Border Response: Nepal initially resisted foreign rescue teams but later allowed limited international expertise as diplomatic pressure grew; India is preparing a specialized tunnel rescue team and sending relief, while South Korea’s teams struggle to reach the site. Grid Resilience & Renewables Policy: Ghana’s President John Mahama says net metering is coming to let solar businesses sell excess power to the national grid, and Ghana is also moving ahead with battery storage procurement to stabilize supply. Solar Market Signals: Karnataka’s regulator approved revised distributed solar tariffs, with rates varying by system size and whether capital subsidies apply. Offshore Wind Legal Fight: California sued the Trump administration and a developer over a buyout deal that would halt offshore wind in favor of oil and gas.
