When it is night on Earth, the sun is shining in space. China and the European Space Agency (ESA) have found a definitive solution to the energy crisis by 2026. They have successfully completed the prototype test of the Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) project.
This technology involves large solar panels in Earth’s orbit that send electricity to Earth via microwaves or laser beams.
The specialty of this trendy news of 2026 is that it does not depend on clouds, rain or night on Earth. Solar panels placed in space can collect 8-10 times more solar energy than on Earth.
In early 2026, a special receiving station built in China’s Xinjiang province received electricity sent from space. This is a new chapter in the history of electricity generation. As a result, the need for fossil fuels may be completely eliminated.
The project was initially costly, but it is becoming profitable now that the cost of sending cargo into space has decreased, thanks to Elon Musk’s SpaceX and other private rocket companies.
In 2026, tech giants like Google and Microsoft invested billions to ensure 24-hour clean energy for their data centers.
What was once a science fiction story about space-derived electricity is becoming a reality in 2026. The world is no longer just looking at coal or oil underground, but rather at the endless light coming down from the sky.
