Swiss greentech startup Plan-B Net Zero introduced a hybrid system that merges battery storage, green hydrogen, and artificial intelligence to stabilize power grids and improve energy utilization efficiency, at the DA-CH Hydrogen Symposium in Wiener Neustadt.

The Department of Energy announced the cancellation of $13 billion in federal financing allocated for clean energy projects, representing the largest single reversal in climate investment since the Inflation Reduction Act established $370 billion in tax credits, grants, and loans in 2022.

A unanimous vote by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has set in motion a comprehensive update of reliability standards for the U.S. bulk power system, aimed at addressing evolving cybersecurity threats, supply chain risks, and the resilience of electric infrastructure in extreme cold.

Spain is preparing to inject unprecedented resources into its power network as surging demand from hydrogen, renewables, and data infrastructure strains the country’s existing grid.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is preparing to tighten collateral rules for loans tied to high-emitting activities, but early estimates…

Artificial intelligence is being framed less as a technological revolution and more as a national survival project. Yet even as the White House describes AI as a “new Manhattan Project,” lawmakers are still receiving primers on basic concepts.

Britain’s grid currently cannot sustain clean energy operation for even one hour despite ambitious plans to achieve 95% renewable power…

Australia’s latest Capacity Investment Scheme tenders targeting 2.4GWh of energy storage and 1.6GW of renewable generation in Western Australia represent…

The UK is ramping up its energy transition with a £500 million (USD 672 million/EUR 580 million) battery storage platform aimed at delivering over 1 gigawatt (GW) of new capacity across the country.

Data centers already account for more than 2% of U.S. electricity consumption, and with artificial intelligence accelerating demand, the power gap is widening. Pacifico Energy’s proposed GW Ranch project in Pecos County, Texas aims to address that gap by going off-grid—bypassing utility interconnections and regulatory bottlenecks in favor of a purpose-built, self-contained system combining gas turbines and battery storage.
