Two 180-MW GE® 7FA.04 gas turbines and 7FH2 generators recently underwent back-to-back major inspections, with both units successfully returned to service on schedule. The dual outages involved full project management, inspections, component replacements, rewinds, and reassembly. The work highlighted the complexity of planning and implementation required to coordinate large-scale turbine and generator overhauls while maintaining reliability and meeting operational timelines. Learn how experts keep power systems reliable through complex overhauls.

Horizontal Drilling Powering Zero-Carbon Baseload with Geothermal
Advances in horizontal drilling, adapted from the oil and gas (O&G) sector, are opening up deep geothermal resources once considered inaccessible. As a result, geothermal is emerging as a viable source of zero-carbon baseload power capable of delivering round-the-clock energy to a grid increasingly reliant on intermittent renewables. In a decarbonizing economy, geothermal is no longer an afterthought. It’s becoming essential infrastructure. |

Preparing Energy Storage Technology to Support Data Center Power Demands
The increasing power demands of data centers are adding urgency to grid resiliency and renewable energy projects. Data center electricity use is expected to grow 300% by 2035 as hyperscale cloud computing companies race to adopt new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). Renewable energy and microgrid solutions will play an essential role in the digitalized and electrified future. |

Behind-the-Meter DERs: A Practical Strategy to Offset Rising Grid Construction Costs
With national electricity demand surging—driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and data center developments, widespread electrification, and challenging legislative and regulatory policy shifts—utilities are scrambling to keep pace. Add to that mounting supply chain strain and aging infrastructure, and it’s no wonder utilities are facing a costly balancing act. |

Best Practices in Solar Farm Damage Evaluation
Utility-scale solar farms are essential players in the energy transition. But with growth comes more exposure, and large solar arrays are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters, especially hailstorms. As extreme weather events become more frequent and severe, utility executives, plant managers, engineers, and energy policymakers need proven, scalable methods for assessing and repairing solar farm damage quickly and effectively. |

Where Are All the Solar Engineers? How to Ease Utility-Scale Solar’s Technical Bottleneck with Smarter Software
Solar dominates new energy generation in the U.S., accounting for 69% of new capacity additions in Q1 of 2025. But although most of this added capacity comes from utility-scale projects, the engineering labor force hasn’t scaled to match this demand. Only a limited number of qualified engineers, particularly those with experience as Engineers of Record (EORs), can support the complexity and speed required for current utility-scale solar projects. |
