Next-month futures in Europe’s biggest economy surged as much as 4.4% on Monday to the highest level since October last year. The equivalent contract in France rose 4.3%.

In Germany, where nuclear power has long been a thorny political issue, operators are much less enthusiastic, despite talks of a nuclear restart surfacing in the wake of the German coalition government's recent collapse.

Southeast Asia remains highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, with such energy sources – especially coal – making up nearly 80% of the region's rising energy demand since 2010

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.

Trade between the traditional allies have shot up five times in the past three years, according to trade ministry data, as India lapped up Russian crude oil while most others shunned its barrels following the invasion of Ukraine.

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.

The CFE's investment plan for this period consists of US$23.4bn, of which US$12.3bn correspond to new generation projects (13,024 MW), US$7.5bn to transmission infrastructure and US$3.6bn to distribution projects.

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

The U.S. Department of Energy will allocate almost $2 billion for 38 projects that will directly focus on hardening the U.S. power grid.

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.

Vietnam currently has no nuclear power project. In September, the Ministry of Industry & Trade was tasked with studying development of nuclear power as a baseload source.

Energy poverty remains a critical issue in sub-Saharan Africa, where approximately 600 million people lack reliable electricity.
