ACWA Power’s latest foray into Southeast Asia signals a strategic shift in the regional clean energy landscape, as the Saudi…

The genesis of hydrocarbons has been debated for more than 300 years and continues to the present. The discussion of the problem led to the formation of organic and inorganic scientific schools. Over time, the hypothesis of polygenesis was also formed.

In a high-level diplomatic meeting, Egypt and Sweden outlined a joint roadmap for renewable integration, energy storage, and cross-border grid interconnection—yet critical challenges remain.

ABB’s new Battery Energy Storage Systems-as-a-Service (BESS-as-a-Service) model represents a strategic shift toward OpEx-based clean technology adoption, targeting the commercial and industrial (C&I) segments that remain underpenetrated despite significant decarbonization pressure.

Intersect Power has secured $837 million to develop 1 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Texas—an award-winning transaction that signals how utility-scale storage is evolving to serve not only grid stability but also the growing energy demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure.

As cities worldwide grapple with energy security and sustainability challenges, innovative solutions such as off-grid smart city designs incorporating renewable energy have gained traction. A recent study published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy sheds light on an integrated energy system for a pilot region of 8,500 households, combining solar tower technology with dual storage solutions.

Latin America’s ambitions for large-scale energy storage are moving from concept to construction with Zelestra’s Aurora project, a 1 GWh hybrid solar-plus-storage plant now underway in northern Chile.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) has inaugurated its first battery manufacturing facility in northern China — a strategic move reflecting the accelerating regional demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and energy storage solutions.

As Belgium prepares for the 2025 nuclear phase-out, grid reliability is emerging as a central challenge. The latest response comes from Kallo, Beveren, where ENGIE and NHOA Energy have started construction on a 400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS)—a project positioned as both a symbol of transition and a technical asset in Belgium’s evolving energy infrastructure.

Masdar and Kazakhstan’s sovereign wealth fund Samruk-Kazyna announced a landmark collaboration to develop up to 500MW of baseload renewable energy backed by battery energy storage systems (BESS), alongside 2GW of additional storage deployments across the country.
