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.

At 12:35 p.m. on August 20, electricity demand on Jiangsu’s power grid hit 155,000 MW, the fourth record peak of the summer and a 5.99% increase over last year’s maximum load.

The UK’s battery energy storage sector (BESS) completed just 1.5GW of capacity in 2024, a 28% decline from 2023 installations,…

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ acquisition of the 1 GWh Beehive Battery Energy Storage System represents a strategic positioning in Arizona’s limited…

Portland General Electric (PGE) has brought online three new utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), adding 475 MW and over 1.9 GWh of dispatchable capacity to the Portland metro area.

As the world navigates a complex energy landscape in 2025, global electricity demand is poised for significant growth, anticipated to…

In 2024, 91% of new renewable energy projects worldwide delivered power at a lower cost than any new fossil fuel alternative, according to the latest data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).

As European power markets deepen their reliance on renewables, a new structural imbalance is emerging. While solar and wind capacity continues to surge, weakened demand and limited system flexibility are compressing capture rates and undermining standalone renewables’ profitability.

Spain is intensifying its green hydrogen ambitions with a €3 billion national pipeline network, designed to link production hubs with industrial demand centers. Central to this effort is engineering firm Ayesa Ingeniería, recently selected by Enagás to support both the basic and detailed engineering of several pipeline sections.
