Transforming the whole energy system is a monumental and hugely complex challenge. Balancing sustainability with reliability and affordability to foster energy resilience is difficult enough—and the transition is made tougher by a wide range of factors.​ With global energy demand on the rise, operators are regularly confronted with new legal requirements, regional developments, and geopolitical […]

Taiwan stands as one of Asia’s most dynamic economies, a densely populated island of approximately 23 million people compressed into just 36,000 square kilometers. The island is a global technology powerhouse, producing more than 60% of the world’s semiconductors and serving as home to manufacturing giants that supply everything from smartphones to advanced computing systems. […]

We’re at a crossroads: the demand for clean energy is urgent, while energy consumption is surging—driven by AI and power-hungry data centers. The energy landscape is growing more complex, cyberattacks are increasing, regulations are tightening, and skilled specialists are in short supply. Power plant operators are navigating diverse challenges while needing to maintain a reliable […]

Xcel Energy is adding more natural gas-fired power generation in Texas, with plans to convert a retiring coal-fired plant to natural gas, along with building a new peaker plant to provide electricity at times of high demand.

Taiwan’s energy transition faces a unique challenge: powering its world-leading semiconductor industry while phasing out nuclear power and reducing coal dependence. Part of the solution emerged from an unlikely location—a former pineapple field in Tainan—where engineers built what has been recognized as a POWER Top Plant award-winning facility critical to the island’s energy future.

Advanced nuclear technology firm Oklo has broken ground on its inaugural 75-MWe sodium-cooled fast reactor at an Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site. The project—one of three awarded to the company under the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) newly established Reactor Pilot Program—is targeting operations between late 2027 and early 2028, though that timeline is contingent on […]

How Network Model Management Centralizes Data Truth for Utilities Grid reliability, operational efficiency and regulatory compliance are at the top of every electric utility’s priority list. Aligning every planning and operations silo across the organization to achieve those goals, however, is a daunting task. For example, utility electric grid data is critical for improving reliability, […]

Cybersecurity has never been more urgent for the power sector. The rush to build AI data centers comes with a race to build new power production and distribution systems — and a need to protect those systems. Data center customers drive a need for reliability. A data center without power is little more than a […]

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has accepted for review initial portions of a combined license application (COLA) from Dallas-based Fermi America to build and operate four Westinghouse AP1000 reactors in Carson County, Texas. The proposed project—which will be called the “President Donald J. Trump Advanced Energy and Intelligence Campus” (also known as Project Matador)—is slated […]

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) is prepared to double its production capacity for gas turbines within the next two years as demand for the technology continues to increase. Eisaku Ito, the company’s CEO, on August 29 said turbine orders are growing rapidly as demand for equipment rises, in part due to the need for more power […]
