The political and economic stakes surrounding the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) became sharply visible at COP30, as competing visions for global trade, climate ambition, and industrial competitiveness played out in real time.

ACCIONA Energía’s plan to install a 1GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its 238MWp Malgarida photovoltaic complex reflects a broader shift in Chile’s solar-heavy power market: the need to convert daytime oversupply into flexible, dispatchable capacity.

Bimergen Energy Corporation has formalized a Joint Development Agreement with Eos Energy Enterprises to accelerate the deployment of long-duration battery energy storage projects across key U.S. grids, including ERCOT, MISO, WECC, and PJM.

The California state-run Alliance for Renewable Clean Hydrogen Energy Systems (ARCHES) hydrogen hub, envisioned as a cornerstone of America’s green hydrogen strategy, has paused development after the Department of Energy withdrew over $1.2 billion in support.

American electricity prices surged 34% from 2020 to August 2025, reaching $14.87 per kilowatt-hour from $10.96—the fastest five-year increase in…

Global fusion energy companies have deployed $543 million in supply chain investments targeting commercial grid deployment by the mid-2030s, yet specialized component manufacturing constraints threaten timelines as 90% of suppliers report demand surges exceeding current production capacity.

As America’s power grid strains under the dual challenge of integrating intermittent renewables and serving surging demand from data centers, operators are confronting a volatile new reality. The system’s increasing complexity is testing both technical resilience and market design, with implications rippling across the energy storage sector.

Samsung E&A has re-entered the U.S. market with a $475 million Engineering, Procurement, and Fabrication (EPF) contract for the Wabash Low-Carbon Ammonia Project in West Terre Haute, Indiana.

Chile’s ongoing energy transition gained new momentum as Colbún, one of the country’s largest power generation companies, inaugurated its first industrial-scale green hydrogen plant integrated into a thermoelectric power station.

The fossil fuel industry’s communication strategy has undergone multiple iterations over three decades, moving from outright denial of climate science to promoting the premise that oil and gas extraction can coexist with climate stabilization efforts—a shift that former ExxonMobil climate scientist Lindsey Gulden characterizes as the sector’s “last narrative” after previous approaches lost credibility.
