Plug Power has secured a 275 MW electrolyzer contract in Quebec, marking one of its largest awarded projects and reinforcing its position in utility-scale hydrogen infrastructure despite ongoing financial strain.
The Oxford Battery Energy Storage Project in Ontario secured C$202 million in green loan financing to support a 125 MW and 500 MWh system designed to address peak demand variability and grid balancing requirements.
Virginia Prepares RGGI Reentry as Rising Carbon Credit Prices Signal Higher Power Costs
Carbon pricing under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative has historically added modest but politically sensitive costs to electricity bills, yet tightening emissions caps and rising allowance prices are increasing the financial stakes as Virginia moves to rejoin the program in 2026.
Brazil Maps Green Hydrogen Hubs as Northeast Export Potential Meets Southeast Industrial Demand
Brazil’s positioning in the global hydrogen economy is increasingly tied to geography rather than policy ambition alone. A new national mapping study identifying optimal regions for green hydrogen production and consumption highlights a structural advantage: the coexistence of high-capacity renewable resources in the Northeast and concentrated industrial demand in the Southeast, a combination that few large economies can replicate at scale.
The Sedgwick County Commission approved a moratorium on new battery energy storage system applications through March 11, 2027. The decision reflects a widening disconnect between the pace of grid-scale storage deployment and the readiness of local governance structures to evaluate and regulate these projects.
AI Data Center Capex Nears $9 Trillion as Demand Arithmetic Collides With Power, Debt, and Adoption Risk
A revised aggregation of hyperscaler capital plans, adjusted for construction inflation and expanded private AI investment cycles, places the global AI infrastructure buildout near $9 trillion through 2030.
Jinko ESS has secured a strategic cooperation agreement covering 1 GWh of battery energy storage systems across the region. The portfolio is focused on grid-side and utility-scale deployments, reflecting a broader shift in storage demand from behind-the-meter applications toward system-level balancing.
Oil Chokepoints and Fragile Supply Chains: Why Freight Electrification Is Moving From Concept to Necessity
Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to expose a structural weakness in global logistics: a freight system still overwhelmingly dependent on diesel.
Recent internal discussions at major financial institutions reveal a stark divergence between public narratives and institutional risk management. During a…
US Energy Storage Market Surpasses Records Amid Policy Shifts, Poised for Half-Terawatt-Hour Growth
The US energy storage sector set a new benchmark in 2025, deploying 18.9 gigawatts of capacity totaling 51 gigawatt-hours across utility-scale, residential, and commercial segments, according to the latest US Energy Storage Monitor from Wood Mackenzie and the American Clean Power Association.
