Together, the four sanctioned firms accounted for more than 80% of India’s Russian oil imports in 2024,

Hungary depends on Moscow for the bulk of its oil and gas imports. Unlike many of its European Union neighbors, which have worked to cut reliance on Russian energy following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Hungary has since ramped up its purchases.

The growing complexity of today’s energy ecosystem makes grid resiliency both a pressing challenge and a key differentiator for utilities and energy consumers.

Defined as the deliberate reduction or cessation of electricity generation from renewables, even when plants are technically capable of producing, curtailment represents a stark irony in our clean energy journey.

In 2026, US data center demand will rise to 75.8 GW for IT equipment, cooling, lighting and other uses, and further expand to 108 GW in 2028 and 134.4 GW in 2030, according to the outlook.

By 2030, U.S. data centers will account for approximately 12% of the total U.S. power demand — an increase of approximately 400 terawatt hours (TWh) from today.

Artificial intelligence offers a path forward. Unlike traditional analytics, which require structured datasets, large language models (LLMs) and other AI methods can process the messy, real-world inputs where SIF precursors often hide: handwritten field observations, free-text incident narratives, transcribed toolbox talks, and even voice recordings.

Brent rose 22 cents, or 0.4%, to $63.54 a barrel , WTI was at $59.71 a barrel, up 22 cents, or 0.4%.

The global electricity system is undergoing a major transformation, shifting from a traditional, centralized model to a more digital, decentralized one.

Brent rose 22 cents, or 0.4%, to $63.54 a barrel , WTI was at $59.71 a barrel, up 22 cents, or 0.4%.

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) have been positioned as solutions for more than a decade, but the real challenge has always been scale. A thousand rooftop solar arrays or community batteries don’t naturally operate like a single 500-MW power plant. To function reliably, they need coordination that is far more sophisticated than simple scheduling.

The EIA said in a statement that it expects oil production growth to be led by countries outside of OPEC+. Production in South America has been the leading source of growth as new offshore vessels have started up ahead of schedule in Brazil and Guyana this year, the outlook said.

Brent were up 27 cents, or 0.40%, to $67.11 a barrel, WTI rose 29 cents, or 0.46%, to $63 a barrel.

Performance on the Oil Majors has been one to ponder on as shifts in pricing has been dependent majorly on Russian Oil supply point in case being India.

Brent were down three cents to $66.40 a barrel , WTI were down six cents, or 0.1%, to $63.82 a barrel.
