The U.S. power grid is entering a period unlike any it has experienced in decades. Rapid electrification, domestic manufacturing, and the exponential growth of artificial intelligence are reshaping electricity demand. A recent report from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, projects that data centers alone could account for between 9.5% […]

Utilities and independent power producers have spent years adding sensors to their generating fleets and creating dashboards to view what they relay. But visibility into how a plant is operating isn’t the same as knowing what to do about it—and that gap is where Siemens Energy’s Omnivise Energy Management System is increasingly shedding light, explained […]

Following a competitive evaluation, Swedish nuclear technology company Studsvik AB has selected GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Samsung C&T as strategic collaborators for a proposed four-unit BWRX-300 project totaling about 1,200 MWe. The project is planned for either Studsvik’s licensed nuclear site in Nyköping or Målma in Valdemarsvik, and the first unit is expected […]

Florida-headquartered ONE Nuclear Energy said the company has executed a binding letter of intent (LOI) that would provide site control for development of Project Cayman, a 2.88-GW gas-fired power plant and 700-MW/2.88 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) sited alongside a data center complex.

Japan is rebuilding its nuclear power fleet after the Fukushima disaster, with upgrades targeted toward ensuring safe operations. Japan continues work to restart its nuclear power fleet, which supplied about a

Saeul 3 is the latest evolution of South Korea’s APR1400 program, completed after an extraordinary interruption in national nuclear policy, fortified during construction to address newer safety requirements

A widening gas turbine supply crunch has prompted Ansaldo Energia to explore a new path back into the U.S. generation market after more than 30 years. The Italian manufacturer will supply California-based

More solar power projects paired with energy storage are taking shape across Europe, with a variety of investors supporting assets in the UK and Italy, among other countries.

The wait for a large gas turbine now runs longer than the time it takes to design, permit, and build the plant it will sit in. Order one today from any of the three largest manufacturers, and the delivery slot

Australia Moves to Make Data Centers Bring Power. The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has urged energy ministers to require large data centers connecting to the National Electricity Market to bring

The most consequential number in current American energy planning is one that nobody in the room where it gets made believes.

America is debating data centers as though technological leadership and affordable electricity are competing goals. That framing misses the opportunity.

When I walk into the main office of a power plant, it’s always on the main TV screen, along with heat rate, load, and other critical numbers. I’m talking about condenser backpressure. Every power plant manager watches this number (Figure 1), and they should. A PEPSE (Performance Evaluation of Power System Efficiencies) analysis of a […]

Rising power costs and load increases have elevated energy monitoring and analysis on plant agendas, but consumption only becomes controllable once it is reliably measured per unit produced and modeled

Unprecedented scale and load volatility are pushing developers beyond traditional generation strategies toward integrated, digitally orchestrated power systems built for speed, stability, and resilience. As

From green hydrogen and coal wastewater, to data center cooling and steam cycle chemistry, reliable measurement helps power producers moderate water use, protect critical equipment, and comply with

Lower-emissions gas sourcing, efficient combined-cycle generation, and carbon capture-ready construction offer hyperscalers a way to meet data center power demands without compromising on emissions. As

Many simple-cycle gas turbines are running harder than they were ever intended to—yet steam retrofits have never penciled out for most of that fleet. Supercritical CO 2 bottoming cycles change the economics

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the domestic power system is facing mounting pressure from growing electricity demand, a backlog of generation interconnection requests, and an aging transmission

Japan for nearly a decade has been one of the world’s most committed proponents of hydrogen. It was among the first countries to establish a national hydrogen strategy, and it continues to invest heavily in

Electricity grids historically have been relatively predictable systems. Power flowed in one direction, from centralized generation facilities through transmission and distribution networks to homes and

Triveni Turbine validated a complete 60-MW turbine-generator train—not just the turbine—inside its own factory, using a dynamometer to simulate real load conditions before the package ever reached its

Emerson has introduced the Flexim FLUXUS 631 series, a new line of portable, non-intrusive clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters designed to measure liquids, gases, and steam from a single platform. The company unveiled the technology in July, positioning it as the flagship of its portable flow measurement lineup. The 631 series (Figure 1) is built to […]

Canada-headquartered Revolve Renewable Power Corp., a North American owner, operator and developer of power generation and digital infrastructure projects, announced it has entered into a MXN$450 million ($24 million) project-level, non-recourse-style financing facility with Banco Multiva, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Multiva. The facility is secured by project cash flows and contracted revenues […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being adopted across industries at an unprecedented pace, and the electric utility sector is no exception. Faced with rising energy demand, aging infrastructure, and an increasingly complex grid, utilities are turning to AI to innovate and modernize operations. However, adoption of this technology—as with various digital innovation waves preceding it—fundamentally looks […]

Maryland-based investment firm Hull Street Energy announced it has completed its acquisition of two Midwestern power plants that provide electricity in the PJM Interconnection.

A U.S. developer, owner, and operator of distributed energy infrastructure announced it has received an $857-million capital infusion to accelerate growth of its distributed solar energy program.

Technology giant NVIDIA is furthering its support of artificial intelligence (AI) and data center construction. Cloverleaf Infrastructure, a group that supports the AI buildout by providing power sources and infrastructure for site development, on August 21 said it has entered into a strategic partnership with NVIDIA to advance the development of digital infrastructure across the […]

Arevon Energy said its largest standalone battery energy storage project is now operational. The company on August 13 announced that the 300-MW Nighthawk Energy Storage Project has come online in Poway, California.

A new federal effort to develop nuclear “lifecycle” campuses has produced something Washington, D.C., has rarely seen: states competing for a role in managing America’s used nuclear fuel.
