Modernizing power grids is critical to meeting rising energy demands, integrating renewable sources, and ensuring operational reliability. Traditional grids struggle with aging infrastructure, fluctuating loads, and the variability of renewable generation.

In 2024, Germany added 3.8GW/5.7GWh of battery energy storage, though residential storage (3.2GW/4.7GWh) saw an 11.11% year-on-year decline due to slower rooftop solar growth. However, the utility-scale segment surged—new installations reached 733.6MWh, up 83.4% YoY—fueled by the need to integrate renewable energy and stabilize the grid.

Top refiners Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp., and Hindustan Petroleum Corp. collectively floated a tender to acquire US supplies of liquefied petroleum gas.

India and Canada will work together to secure supply chains in critical minerals and clean energy, according to a joint statement, signaling a reset in bilateral ties amid trade tensions driven by U.S. policies.

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%.

Eco‑preneurship is more than a buzzword. It’s a practical, values-driven way to build businesses that serve both the environment and your bottom line. For aspiring founders, the path can feel inspiring—but also overwhelming.

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

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.

Особое внимание было уделено вопросам развития энергетики, включая перспективы реализации совместных проектов, обмена опытом и внедрения инновационных технологий. Стороны подчеркнули важность укрепления кооперации в области традиционной и возобновляемой энергетики.

The administration said in May it was reviewing some $15 billion in projects awarded under President Joe Biden.
