Grid-scale storage at a turning point in the Upper Midwest power system Power demand is rising, coal retirements are accelerating, and weather volatility is testing the grid’s limits, so a 600‑MW battery at Sherco signals not just a project upgrade but a pivot point for how the Upper Midwest plans,

A year that began with record momentum now shows a subtle but telling shift: fewer utility-scale solar projects slipped their timelines in the third quarter, yet the policy ground underfoot keeps moving and could reshape what comes next for builders, investors, and grid planners. That mix—improving

From viral outrage to operational reality: why sustainable packaging hit a speed check A single, searing image of a turtle and a straw ignited a movement, and the rush of pledges that followed created a new business drumbeat that still echoes across boardrooms, procurement desks, and plant floors

Lead/Introduction A single signature set off a cascade through the power market: a 1.4-gigawatt hyperscale agreement that would lift one utility’s electric load by roughly a quarter in as little as two to three years, reshaping how energy is planned, financed, and delivered while AI-fueled data

An unprecedented claim landed with unusual clarity: America suddenly had the technical ability to make every major piece of a solar power system at home, from the earliest polysilicon steps through ingots, wafers, cells, and modules, and onward to inverters, racking, and batteries. That assertion,

As the energy sector grapples with rapid technological advancements and increasing demands on the power grid, few issues are as pressing as the interconnection of large loads like data centers. Today, we’re thrilled to sit down with Christopher Hailstone, a seasoned expert in energy management,

What does it take to fuel the digital revolution without scorching the planet? Data centers, the backbone of blockchain and AI innovation, often consume energy at a staggering rate—sometimes matching the consumption of entire small nations. Yet, in the heart of South America, HIVE Digital

In a striking development that underscores the delicate balance between industrial progress and environmental preservation, a major hydropower expansion project in Iceland has hit a significant roadblock, highlighting the challenges of aligning energy goals with ecological priorities. The proposed

The Trump administration’s recent proposal to dismantle the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), a long-standing initiative that compels major polluters to disclose their emissions, has ignited a firestorm of debate that few could have anticipated, especially given the unexpected opposition

In the heart of urban centers and along sprawling highways, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a common sight, with charging stations popping up at an unprecedented rate, yet beneath this visible shift lies a hidden crisis. The electric grid, the backbone of this transformation, struggles to keep
