U.S. Treasury has borrowed $155 billion every month of this fiscal year 🫢—and is now paying $24 billion A WEEK 😫 in interest on its debts

Despite concerns from debt hawks, the U.S. government is continuing to borrow at pace: For the fiscal year of 2026 so far, the federal deficit has totaled just under $1.4 trillion.

The first nine months of this fiscal year (beginning in October) have now surpassed the borrowing levels of 2025, when deficits totaled just over $1.3 trillion for the same period.

At the time of writing, the total U.S. national debt sits at $39.4 trillion, accumulated under administrations led by both Republicans and Democrats.

As such, the monthly borrowing for 2026 now sits at roughly $155 billion, or $39 billion per week. And, like any borrower, that debt carries an interest cost. The latest monthly budget review from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that net interest on public debt for the fiscal year has hit $857 billion: roughly $23.8 billion a week.

...

In fact, interest payments on the debt are now $20 billion larger than the outlays for the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security, Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Coronavirus Refundable Credits scheme—combined.

Also contributing to the demand on government purse springs is the increasing demand for social security, Medicare and Medicaid.

...

Spending for Social Security benefits rose by $62 billion (or 5%) because of increases in average benefits and in the number of beneficiaries, CBO noted. In comparison, Medicare outlays increased by $58 billion (8%) due to higher enrollment and higher payment rates for services. Rising costs per enrollee meant Medicaid spending increased by $49 billion (10%).

This is a trend that isn't going anywhere: The U.S. population is aging. According to the Census Bureau, Americans' median age—the age at which half of the population is younger, and half is older — continues to rise, climbing from 39.2 in 2024 to 39.4 in 2025.

Note

Double-entry accounting is a bookkeeping system where every financial transaction is recorded in at least two accounts—as a debit (left side) in one and a credit (right side) in another. This ensures that total debits always equal total credits, keeping the foundational accounting equation balanced (Assets = Liabilities + Equity).

Spain launches national map of agrivoltaic projects - pv magazine Global

Spain launches national map of agrivoltaic projects - pv magazine Global https://share.google/4zYUvbGMgg18yroSd

The country’s first national map of agrivoltaic projects tracks operational and planned installations through a validated geolocation database. The initiative aims to improve transparency, support planning, and provide standardized data as Spain develops its regulatory framework for agrivoltaics.

...

According to the initiative’s promoters, the platform is the first of its kind in Europe. It brings together agrivoltaic projects that are either operational or under development through a geolocation system that provides information on each project’s location, installed capacity, land area, associated crops, technologies used, and developer type. The map aims to provide standardized information for public authorities, farmers, developers, researchers, and investors while improving transparency and supporting territorial planning for the deployment of agrivoltaic systems.

The database will be continuously updated through voluntary contributions from developers and project owners. Submitted information will undergo validation before being incorporated into the platform.

Since 2025, agrivoltaic projects in Spain have been eligible for Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funding. However, the country still lacks a national legal definition of agrivoltaics, unlike several other European markets.

Catalonia became the first Spanish region to establish an official definition of agrivoltaics. In 2024, the Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda (DACC) of the Government of Catalonia published a technical directive regulating agrivoltaic installations on agricultural land.

Before this measure, Spain had no standardized administrative definition of agrivoltaics, in contrast with countries such as Germany, France, and Italy.

The Catalan directive defines agrivoltaics as a combined farming system that integrates agricultural production and electricity generation on the same plot of land. Both activities must be maintained throughout the project’s lifetime.

Among the directive’s key requirements is the obligation to ensure that agricultural output after installation remains at least 60% of the original crop yield. It also prohibits permanent alterations to the natural soil structure through concreting, except for limited and localized infrastructure such as transformer stations.

The regulations further restrict permanent land occupation by structures, access roads, buildings, and auxiliary infrastructure. Depending on the type of system deployed — elevated or low-profile structures — the area rendered unavailable for agricultural use must not exceed 15% or 20% of the total project area, respectively.

In November 2024, SolarPower Europe published technical guidelines aimed at establishing a common definition of agrivoltaics and providing recommendations for project design, operation, and evaluation.

The guidelines state that agricultural production should remain the primary land use and propose objective indicators to assess whether farming activity retains its economic and productive viability throughout the lifetime of an installation.
