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.

Syntropic Power, formerly known as Emtel Energy USA, has announced its rebrand and the launch of three product lines of short- and long-duration stationary energy storage systems.

Zeo Energy Corp., a Florida-based residential solar installer that acquired struggling concentrated solar thermal developer Heliogen Inc. six months ago, has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Creekstone Energy to study the development of 280 MW of generation for a multi-gigawatt data center campus under construction in Millard County, Utah. Under the Feb. […]

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has teamed up with artificial intelligence (AI) computing giant NVIDIA to advance “PROMETHEUS,” INL’s first-of-its-kind demonstration of an autonomous nuclear reactor driven by AI, to execute a key challenge under the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Genesis Mission. The move adds momentum to DOE’s push to apply AI across the full reactor […]

A company known for supplying “farm-to-table” clean energy to homes and businesses said it was growing its portfolio by acquiring two solar power projects in North Carolina. CleanChoice Energy, which is majority owned by funds managed by True Green Capital Management, on February 18 said the company was adding projects located in Halifax and Bertie counties that combined have generation capacity of 222.2 MW.

Nuclear power is emerging as a key, enabling technology for sustained human presence on the moon. With multiple countries and companies announcing ambitious lunar programs—from space research to mineral development to hotels—there is increasing global competition to establish long-term power supply and other infrastructure on the lunar surface.

New research reveals artificial intelligence (AI)-driven water demand is set to surge nearly 130% over the next 25 years. Power generation consumes about half of that, turning water into a potential constraint on future capacity—and a catalyst for achieving a lasting transition to greater water security. Power producers are facing a new challenge: deliver more […]

Technology group Wärtsilä has been selected by Gramme Storage 1 to deliver a 50-MW/100-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in central-eastern Belgium. The companies on February 16 said that the project supports Belgium’s transition toward the use of more renewable energy resources.

Two subsidiaries of FirstEnergy Corp. announced plans to build a new 1,200-MW natural gas-fired power plant on land adjacent to the companies’ coal-fired Fort Martin Power Station in West Virginia. Mon Power and Potomac Edison also want to build three new solar farms on reclaimed industrial and mining land.

In a milestone for the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on Feb. 13 issued its first approval of a commercial Category II nuclear fuel fabrication facility, granting a license to TRISO-X, a wholly owned subsidiary of X-energy, which allows the company to fabricate commercial tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel using high-assay low-enriched […]
