The SMR Gamble: Betting on Nuclear to Fuel the Data Center Boom
Nuclear power could be the answer to the question of how to provide the electricity needed for the nation’s buildout of data centers. It also could be just one piece in the power generation puzzle—albeit one that comes with economic and regulatory risks.

FEATURES:
C&I POWER SYSTEMS
A Business-Like Approach to Power Generation
Businesses depend on a reliable and resilient supply of electricity, and more commercial and industrial (C&I) operations are building power systems to generate their own energy. These groups are utilizing a variety of technologies, and working toward sustainability along with other goals such as decarbonization and cost savings.

AI Boom Reshapes Power Landscape as Data Centers Drive Historic Demand Growth
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), and the accompanying need for energy to supply AI and data centers, brings more challenges for the power generation sector—including a need to rapidly scale up capacity and infrastructure. CARBON CAPTURE What Comes Next for Carbon Capture in the Power Industry? 28 The current state and future prospects of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the power industry are examined, covering significant growth in global projects, technological developments, and policy challenges.

CARBON CAPTURE
What Comes Next for Carbon Capture in the Power Industry?
The current state and future prospects of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the power industry are examined, covering significant growth in global projects, technological developments, and policy challenges.

DIESEL & GAS ENGINES
Reciprocating Engine Technology Supports Grid Flexibility and Renewables Integration
Beyond their operational flexibility, reciprocating engines represent a bridge between traditional and future power generation paradigms. Their operational flexibility, including the ability to run on fuels including natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen blends, makes them adaptable assets in the transition toward cleaner energy sources.

TECHNOLOGY
Generative AI at the Edge: Revolutionizing the Power Industry’s Control Layer
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the power industry, and generative AI (GenAI) is driving even more change. GenAI has the capacity to combine operational diagnostics more effectively and efficiently with advanced pattern recognition to help deliver better overall visibility of both asset and equipment health, along with process optimization.
