The demand for electricity is rising rapidly. Onshoring of manufacturing, EVs (both private and commercial) and, most importantly, data centers, serving the demand for AI, are all staking their claim to more electricity.

While distributed energy resources do not outright negate the need for expensive grid upgrades, introducing greater load management opportunities decreases the frequency of necessary upgrades, buying time for utilities to strategize their budgets.

Reaching global decarbonization targets by 2050 will require a significant expansion of nuclear power.

The five projects represent a total investment of SAR35bn (US$9.3bn) and align with Saudi Vision 2030 goals to achieve a balanced energy mix with 50% renewables and 50% gas.

The US$4bn Terra Solar project will also feature a 4.5 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The project is developed by Terra Solar, a subsidiary of Solar Philippines New Energy Corporation (SPNEC).

Climate remains one of a few topics where it is still able to find common ground with the western countries, which imposed sanctions on its economy. Russia has among the biggest delegation at COP this year, with 900 people registered.

В России уже 85% энергобаланса приходится на чистую, низкоэмиссионную генерацию. Это в первую очередь газовая, атомная энергетика, из возобновляемых источников.

Российский энергобаланс предусматривает и наращивание доли ВИЭ, но лишь в объемах, не создающих рисков для надежности энергосистемы страны и не приводящих к чрезмерной финансовой нагрузке.

An electricity shortage is bearing down on the nation and there are no easy fixes. Trump has laid out an energy policy that would emphasize oil and gas drilling and environmental controls and curbs on the rate of wind generation deployment. None of that will get us through the impending crisis as the demand for more electricity is surging.

Since gaining independence in 1947, India's power sector has achieved remarkable growth, with the installed capacity soaring from a mere 1,300 MW to an impressive 400 GW by 2023. This growth trajectory has been propelled by strategic investments in thermal, hydro, and renewable energy, underlining the sector's resilience, adaptability, and alignment with global sustainability goals.

As renewable energy sources like solar and wind become more widespread, their inherent unpredictability introduces new challenges. Unlike traditional fossil fuel power plants, renewable generation is intermittent, making it harder to forecast production and balance the grid.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offer a transformative approach to managing these networks, providing a comprehensive, real-world model of assets and enabling better decision-making and operational efficiency.

Ammonia, which consists of nitrogen and hydrogen, boasts a high energy density, making it a practical medium for hydrogen storage and transport.

Solar and wind generation facilities are approximately the same capital cost per unit of rated capacity as fossil fueled generation facilities. However, the renewable generators have a capacity factor approximately one third the capacity factor of the fossil generation facilities.

Climate change has led to more severe natural disasters with profound socioeconomic and infrastructural effects. From 1960 to 2019, there was a 13-fold increase in natural catastrophes worldwide.
