DOE intends to fund 31 transmission projects in 26 states under SPARK, totaling $5.25 billion with $3.35 billion from recipients. ENB calculates about $262 per kW of added capacity.
A Nature Energy paper couples alkaline electrolysis with waste heat desalination. At 250 kW it reports 48 Nm3 per hour of hydrogen; ENB checks the water balance and finds an open question.
Moeve started building the first phase of its Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley. ENB tests the company claims: 45,000 t of hydrogen needs about 2.34 TWh, or 89% load at 300 MW.
A Nature Energy paper reports a nickel hydroxide battery cell stack capturing CO2 at 132 kJ per mole, or 0.83 MWh per tonne. ENB scales it to 13.3 km2 of active area per Mt a year.
DOE selected 21 geothermal projects on 21 September 2026: five field scale EGS tests and 16 exploration drilling projects. The average is about $4.7 million each, and selection is not a commitment.
The NRC proposed changes to nine parts of 10 CFR on reactor licensing, decommissioning and oversight. Comments on Docket NRC-2025-1138 are due 9 November 2026.
The Pennsylvania PUC adopted a Tentative Order on 1 October 2026 putting large new loads without new capacity first in line for curtailment. A Final Order is targeted for 28 January 2027.
LNG Canada took a final investment decision on Phase 2 on 28 September 2026. At CAD 33 billion for 14 mtpa, ENB puts capital at about CAD 2,360 per tonne of annual capacity.
The 30 September framework puts $100 billion of overnight cost on six AP1000 and two APR1400 units, about $10,460 per kW. Korea’s $20 billion annual funding cap and the unsettled link to the 2025 $80 billion Westinghouse deal decide whether it becomes orders.
