Electricity demand from global data centres is projected to more than double by 2030, reaching 945 terawatt-hours (TWh)—equivalent to Japan’s total electricity consumption today—driven largely by rapid growth in artificial intelligence (AI) deployment.

Energy News is proud to welcome Muhamed Ćatić to its Advisory Board, bringing decades of expertise in international business, sustainable development, and circular economy strategies.

Finland-based technology group Wärtsilä will deliver a 64 MW / 128 MWh energy storage system for Octopus Australia’s Fulham Solar Battery Hybrid project, marking one of the first large-scale DC-coupled hybrid systems in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM).

The demand for reliable and efficient battery management has never been more critical in today’s fast-paced technological landscape. Established in 2014, leagend SOLUTIONS developed from leagend, has emerged as a frontrunner in this domain, specializing in the research and development of cutting-edge battery testing and monitoring technologies, and comprehensive management solutions.

Green hydrogen has long been promised as a clean energy solution, but turning that promise into reality requires more than just ambition—it demands practical engineering. In a recent discussion with Yujin Lee of Lightbridge Korea, we explored how modular electrolyzers are quietly solving some of hydrogen’s biggest challenges.

Climate Impact Corporation (CIC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Jinko Solar aimed at establishing an end-to-end supply chain for off-grid renewable hydrogen production.

Dr. Lennie Klebanoff, a Staff Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore California, a pivotal figure in advancing hydrogen storage and fuel cell technologies has been appointed to the Energy News Advisory Board.

QMET has recently signed an acquisition agreement for natural hydrogen exploration assets in Colchester, a strategic move that aligns with QIMC’s hydrogen initiatives in Nova Scotia.

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy has unveiled Phase 2 of an extensive Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project valued at 6.73 billion SAR.

The German hydrogen technology sector faces another setback as HPS Home Power Solutions AG, once heralded for its pioneering energy storage solutions, has declared insolvency. The switch to more sustainable energy sources has been a policy directive in Germany, but this recent development highlights the financial challenges that accompany such transitions. HPS’s flagship product, the “Picea” storage system, was introduced to the market with the promise of providing buildings with consistent power and heat around the year, leveraging hydrogen-based storage technology. However, the exorbitant production costs have led to financial insolvency, forcing the company to cease operations in early April,…
