NewsGridHQ is an independent news publication on renewable energy and climate tech. This page explains who runs it, how its articles are made, and the standards it holds itself to.
Mission
To report what happened in renewable energy and climate tech, who says so, and what the numbers show, in plain language.
Ownership and funding
NewsGridHQ is owned and run by OBY and is based in the Netherlands. It’s funded by advertising. No company, government or lobby group pays for coverage or has any say over what we publish.
Who is behind it
The editor is OBY. The editor sets the rules the writing system follows, reviews every article, and corrects mistakes. Contact: hello@newsgridhq.com.
How articles are made
Articles on NewsGridHQ are written with AI assistance and reviewed by a human editor. Here’s the process.
- Twice a day, the system reads public news from trade publications, news searches and official sources, and picks the next topic from a fixed weekly schedule.
- It researches the topic on the web, primary and official sources first (for example the IEA, IRENA, Ember, the US EIA, the European Commission and grid operators), then writes the article using Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic.
- Automatic checks run before posting. An article that is too short, unfinished, or that talks about itself is not posted.
- The article is posted to the site.
- A human editor reviews every article, usually the next morning, corrects mistakes, and adds a dated note to any article that changes.
Read with care
AI writing gets facts wrong with total confidence, and energy news is full of numbers that matter. Human review can’t catch every error, and a mistake can stay up until the editor spots it or you tell us. Before you rely on a figure, a date or a legal status, check it against the sources linked at the bottom of the article.
Sources and attribution
Every article ends with a list of the sources it drew on, linked, with primary and official sources first. We credit the outlet that did the reporting, and we say who is making each claim.
Press releases and company claims
A press release is a company’s own account. We treat it as a lead and a claim, not as established fact. We write “the company says” or “according to the developer”, we look for independent confirmation, and we don’t reprint releases.
Quotes and numbers
We use only short, exact quotes that appear in a source, and we say where they come from. The system is told never to invent a quote, a number, a project or a person. We keep capacity (MW, GW) apart from generation (MWh, GWh, TWh), and announced projects apart from those under construction or operating. We give the date of figures that change.
Not investment advice
We report company and market news. We don’t tell anyone to buy, sell or hold a security, and we don’t give price targets.
Images
Header images marked “AI-generated image” are created with Google Gemini. They can look like photographs, but they are generated pictures of generic energy equipment and places. They don’t show real projects, plants, companies or people. Images credited to Pixabay are real stock photos.
Corrections
If you find an error, tell us through the contact page. Corrections are made the same day, with a dated note at the bottom of the article explaining what changed. We don’t quietly edit and pretend it never happened.
