The rapid increase in data center energy consumption, driven in large part by the growing demand for generative AI applications, has underscored the urgent need for collaboration among various stakeholders within the data center industry. Data center operators, hyperscalers, electricity providers,
The polysilicon market is on the brink of a significant transformation, poised to play a pivotal role in the future of solar energy and electronics. As a high-purity form of silicon, polysilicon is essential in the solar photovoltaic (PV) supply chain and the production of electronic components.
Plastic pollution is a growing global crisis, with nearly 10 billion metric tons of plastic produced since 1950. The versatility of plastic has led to its widespread use in various industries, but its non-biodegradable nature poses severe environmental hazards. Recycling efforts are hindered by the
The governors of Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania have jointly urged PJM Interconnection to recalibrate its capacity market rules and streamline its interconnection queue process. This call to action arrives in response to the staggering $14.7 billion projected cost for
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various industries, and its impact on data centers is particularly profound. As AI workloads, especially those involving large language models, increase, so does the demand for data center capacity. This surge in demand is putting unprecedented
The 2024 WM Recycling Report reveals that education, access, and investment are fundamental to enhancing the nation's recycling system. Conducted by WM, North America's largest recycler and a leading environmental solutions provider, the report elucidates key themes revolving around recycling
Portland General Electric's Clearwater Wind Energy Center in Montana achieved an unprecedented milestone by generating 1 GW of power from wind sources within its first 10 months of operation, marking an impressive output record for PGE. Such a remarkable accomplishment can be attributed to the
In a disturbing confirmation from America's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the technology underpinning U.S. and global telecommunications networks is critically vulnerable to exploitation. This finding corroborates the anxieties of security experts who have long warned
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by utility companies is on the rise, particularly in the United States, as they seek to improve operational efficiency and meet increasing demands. However, these companies are taking a cautious approach, especially when it comes to deploying AI in
Chasing a zero-emission future is not a bare concept anymore, but a necessary step forward. With utilities being the subject of two different causes—global climate goals and innovation—at hand, this forces utilities to be at the crossroads of sustainability and innovation. But how exactly are
