Power outages have become increasingly common, and longer in duration, due to extreme weather and temperature events. Behind-the-meter (BTM) batteries are proving their worth, as they have become more than niche devices quietly supporting backup power during storms. These batteries now offer vital support in an increasingly volatile energy ecosystem.

A resurgent nuclear industry cannot succeed unless the U.S. invests in the entire nuclear fuel cycle—from uranium mining to long‑term waste storage. Without strengthening this industrial backbone, nuclear power’s potential may remain more aspiration than reality.

Customized power solutions that provide reliability, resiliency, and energy autonomy no longer are a “nice to have,” but rather a “must have” for many businesses, not just for critical sites such as hospitals and military bases but also for other enterprises.

While artificial intelligence (AI) adoption has spread rapidly, meaningful productivity gains remain elusive because organizations have conflated easy-to-deploy horizontal AI tools with the domain-specific

Artificial intelligence (AI) has pushed the idea of a “one-button start-up” from sci-fi closer to engineering reality. But where is industrial AI for energy operations today, and how far away is that fully

Bring-Your-Own-Generation (BYOG) is emerging as a practical solution for power-hungry facilities that can’t wait on grid upgrades. Success hinges on a unified control architecture that coordinates diverse

Manufacturers respond with gigawatt-scale deployments, fast-start technology, and expanded production capacity. The global appetite for electricity has never been more insatiable, and at the heart of this

The commercial and industrial (C&I) sector has been a major contributor to the growth of solar power, as business owners look for ways to generate more of their own power, and do it in a sustainable way. Industries interested in decarbonizing their operations are adopting cleaner forms of energy; the effort has spread to the commercial housing sector, particularly in areas with dense populations.

A major U.S. energy investment group announced the start of commercial operations for a 694-MW combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plant in Louisiana. Blackstone said the Magnolia Power Generating Station is supported by private equity funds managed by Blackstone Energy Transition Partners.

With electricity demand projected to rise 25% by 2030 and 78% by 2050 from 2023 levels, utilities are facing a perfect storm—aging infrastructure, climate-driven disruptions, and escalating expectations for reliability and resilience. Meeting this moment will require more than incremental improvement; it demands entirely new sources of capacity, and a fundamental rethink of how the […]

Russia’s state-owned nuclear power group said it will move forward with its power plant projects in foreign countries despite new sanctions from the UK government against Russian companies.

The Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens decided to install 17 solar energy projects, totaling 1.3 MW, on its housing stock, which is 100% regulated affordable housing, with rents that are accessible to low-income households including seniors on fixed incomes. Acting as the owner’s representative, Crauderueff Solar guided the group through each stage of this development process, including design.

A Texas-headquartered solar power and battery energy storage developer said it has completed construction financing for a utility-scale project being built as part of a joint venture with an Israel-based group.

A UK-based geothermal and battery production group has brought the country’s first deep geothermal power plant online. Geothermal Engineering Limited (GEL) on February 26 said its United Downs power station in Cornwall is generating 3 MW of electricity, alongside the country’s first commercial-scale, zero-carbon lithium carbonate production facility.

Nuclear fusion group SHINE Technologies said it has raised $240 million in equity funding to advance the company’s commercial fusion technology.

California-based Renewable Properties, a developer and investor in small-scale utility, community solar, energy storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure projects, said the company has surpassed $280 million in closed corporate and project capital facilities with national bank Pathward, N.A., and BridgePeak Energy Capital, a renewable energy loan originator and service provider to banks and private credit […]

With retirements outpacing new entrants and data centers driving unprecedented demand for electricity, the power generation sector faces a critical inflection point in workforce development. The U.S. power industry is confronting a workforce challenge unlike any it has faced in decades. An aging workforce is accelerating toward retirement, taking with it irreplaceable institutional knowledge and […]

Romania’s state nuclear utility Nuclearelectrica has approved a final investment decision (FID) for a 462‑MWe six-module NuScale module small modular reactor (SMR) project at the former Doicești coal plant. The decision by Nuclearelectrica’s shareholders on Feb. 12 to approve the FID effectively opens a pathway for the Doicești project—Europe’s most advanced SMR deployment—from an “analysis […]

Global renewable energy developer and operator Energea said it has launched its LATAM Energy Portfolio, the company’s fourth and latest active investment strategy. The group on February 25 said it will invest in distributed solar power projects across South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Construction is underway on a hybrid power station in Queensland, Australia that will support Arrow Energy’s Surat Gas Project (SGP) North. UK-headquartered Aggreko is leading the project, which is designed to show how natural gas and renewable energy can work together in a power generation installation.

Demand for electricity from artificial intelligence (AI), data centers, industrial electrification and more is driving innovation in the power generation sector. Speed to power has become even more important, as companies seek ways to more quickly satisfy their hunger for power, without sacrificing efficiency and in some cases their clean energy goals.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming one of the most significant drivers of global electricity demand. By 2030, data centre consumption is expected to more than double, from 415 TWh to 945 TWh, driven by AI-optimised servers that use up to 10 times the energy of traditional computing. In the U.S., data centres may account […]

Invenergy, which calls itself North America’s largest privately held independent power producer and energy infrastructure innovator, said it has an agreement with a pipeline operator regarding infrastructure associated with development of as many as three new natural gas-fired power plants in Arizona.

In the nuclear energy sector, cybersecurity is inextricably linked to day-to-day operations. It directly impacts physical safety, system reliability, and regulatory compliance, which makes it a persistent challenge to protect highly sensitive systems without interrupting the work required to keep them running safely.

Battery energy storage group FlexGen Power Systems said it has launched the latest version of FlexGen HybridOS, its hardware-agnostic energy management system (EMS), designed to unify and simplify the experience for battery storage and solar owners and operators with new capabilities that maximize site performance through real-time data and visibility.
