China’s total capacity of renewable-based hydrogen production projects, both completed and under construction, exceeded one million tons per year as…

The California Energy Commission (CEC) has awarded LiCAP Technologies an $11.3 million grant to expand manufacturing capacity and accelerate commercialization of its dry electrode platform, a technology designed to reduce battery production complexity and improve scalability.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has secured investment from the Scottish National Investment Bank and the Nuclear Liabilities Fund for the 500 MW Devilla battery energy storage project in Fife, highlighting the growing role of large scale storage in maintaining grid reliability as fossil fuel generation declines.

With electricity reaching just 32.5% of its population as of 2023 and rural access barely above 9%, Liberia sits at…

Europe’s electric vehicle transition is increasingly becoming a question not only of transport emissions but of electricity system economics. A new study by Fraunhofer ISI for Transport & Environment (T&E) estimates that weakening EU electric vehicle targets could require the equivalent of 150 additional peaking power plants to compensate for lost flexibility from EV batteries.

Renewable energy developer Sunly and Rolls-Royce Power Systems have signed agreements to develop four utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Latvia with a combined capacity of 490 MWh.

California’s growing electricity demand and renewable integration challenges are increasing the importance of hybrid solar and battery storage projects capable of delivering both clean energy and grid flexibility. The BigBeau Solar+Storage Project in Kern County is the latest example of this shift, with EDF power solutions North America and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, Masdar, securing 15 year power purchase agreements covering output from the 128 MWac solar facility and its 40 MW/160 MWh battery energy storage system.

Saudi Arabia’s battery storage market is entering a new phase of industrial development as Chinese energy storage manufacturer ZOE Energy Storage moves to establish a large-scale battery energy storage system manufacturing facility in the kingdom.

The world is on track to invest $3.4 trillion in energy in 2026, yet the most significant shift is not the scale of spending but where the money is flowing. Electricity infrastructure, renewables, nuclear power, storage, and efficiency are attracting nearly twice as much investment as fossil fuels, reflecting how a second major energy crisis within five years is reshaping global perceptions of energy security.

According to research from the Transport & Environment (T&E), only nine of the EU’s 27 member states offer a tax advantage for electric company cars that is large enough to offset the higher upfront purchase price of an EV.
