In today’s energy debates, certain assertions tend to echo most strongly—not because they’re accurate, but because they’re repeated.

Tesla is reportedly securing a $2.11 billion, three-year battery supply deal with South Korea’s Samsung SDI, marking a critical step in its effort to expand energy storage production beyond China.

Global fusion energy companies have deployed $543 million in supply chain investments targeting commercial grid deployment by the mid-2030s, yet specialized component manufacturing constraints threaten timelines as 90% of suppliers report demand surges exceeding current production capacity.

European electricity networks registered over 8,600 instances of voltage limit breaches in 2024, representing a more than twentyfold increase from 2015 levels as solar deployment accelerates beyond grid absorption capacity.

The 2025 edition of BP’s Energy Outlook delivers a sobering assessment of hydrogen’s prospects in the global energy transition. Despite widespread policy enthusiasm, the report underscores that hydrogen will remain marginal until at least 2040—unless a rapid and coordinated acceleration in decarbonization occurs.

As America’s power grid strains under the dual challenge of integrating intermittent renewables and serving surging demand from data centers, operators are confronting a volatile new reality. The system’s increasing complexity is testing both technical resilience and market design, with implications rippling across the energy storage sector.

India’s green hydrogen ambitions received another international vote of confidence this week as Haryana-based Hygenco secured a GBP 22 million (USD 27 million) investment from the UK-backed Neev II Fund, managed by SBICAP Ventures.

Utility, a U.S.-based industrial decarbonization company, has signed a project agreement with the Seongnam Municipal Government in South Korea to build and operate an H2Gen® hydrogen demonstration and certification plant.

Drax Group has moved to strengthen its position in the UK’s energy storage market with a £157.2 million deal to acquire three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects from Apatura.

Samsung E&A has re-entered the U.S. market with a $475 million Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract for the Wabash Low-Carbon Ammonia Project in West Terre Haute, Indiana.
