A Texas-headquartered renewable energy group said it has started construction of two solar power projects in southern Oklahoma, expanding the company’s solar portfolio in the state. Leeward Renewable Energy (LRE) recently announced it has broken ground for the Twelvemile Solar 1 & 2 projects, a combined 152-MW solar facility. The company in late July said […]

An agricultural farm in New York will add solar power at the site in a project designed to benefit both farmers and the solar energy community. Lightstar Renewables LLC on August 4 announced the launch of the Plains Road Agrivoltaics project, which integrates solar energy with agriculture on the DiMartino Farm in Montgomery, New York. […]

This paper explores how the rise of Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plants is reshaping the power generation landscape amid growing energy demands. It highlights Emerson’s role in supporting utilities through this transition by offering advanced automation, project execution expertise, and lifecycle services. The paper emphasizes the efficiency, flexibility, and lower emissions of CCGT plants, […]

Arizona-headquartered Arevon Energy said it has started construction of the Nighthawk Energy Storage Project in Poway, California. The company on July 31 provided more details of the 300-MW/1,200-MWh installation that represents a $600-million investment. Arevon will own and operate Nighthawk. The company in 2021 signed a long-term contract under which the energy storage facility will […]

The global buildout of data centers continues to put a spotlight on the energy needs of those facilities. LuxConnect, a Luxembourg-based data center firm, has made sustainability one of its main goals.

Biogas doesn’t just offer a backup plan for tech companies seeking more power; it provides a blueprint for sustainability. By transforming landfill, agricultural, and wastewater emissions into usable power, biogas solves two problems at once: it reduces fugitive methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), and generates renewable electricity. This is energy that’s good for […]

The convergence of artificial intelligence and digital twin technology is emerging as a transformative solution, enabling power producers to shift from static control systems to dynamic, self-optimizing

From pandemic shut-ins to production booms, arctic blasts to record heatwaves, the U.S. gas market in the 2020s has been volatile. But while many analyses have pointed the finger at increases in liquefied
