How Will Hydropower Shape the Global Energy Transition?
Infrastructure & Technology How Will Hydropower Shape the Global Energy Transition?

Global pumped storage capacity has officially surpassed the 200 GW milestone, with over 11 GW of new projects commissioned in 2025 alone to support variable energy. This massive expansion signals a fundamental shift in the role of hydropower, which is no longer viewed merely as a static provider of

Data Center Growth Drives Arizona’s Shift to Natural Gas
Infrastructure & Technology Data Center Growth Drives Arizona’s Shift to Natural Gas

The Sierra Club contends that the current focus on natural gas infrastructure represents a dangerous detour from the state's necessary transition to renewable energy. This assertion surfaces as Arizona Public Service, the state’s dominant utility provider, manages an unprecedented surge in

Infrastructure & Technology The Rise of 800V DC Power in AI Data Centers

The specialized nature of 800V DC equipment means early adopters face higher initial component costs that must be balanced against long-term gains in space utilization. This fundamental shift in electrical distribution has become the defining characteristic of the modern AI-driven data center,

Can DERs Replace Expensive Utility-Owned Grid Projects?
Infrastructure & Technology Can DERs Replace Expensive Utility-Owned Grid Projects?

Allowing utilities to recover costs through traditional rate-basing should be the exception rather than the rule for new energy storage and generation assets. This fundamental principle is gaining traction in 2026 as the American power grid faces an existential crisis driven by surging demand from

Western Australia Starts Largest Ever Wind Farm Project
Infrastructure & Technology Western Australia Starts Largest Ever Wind Farm Project

A 330 kV terminal and associated transmission lines are being constructed to bridge the gap between the remote Wheatbelt wind site and the South West Interconnected Network. This critical link represents the physical manifestation of Western Australia’s most ambitious renewable energy endeavor to

String vs. Central PCS: Which BESS Architecture Wins?
Infrastructure & Technology String vs. Central PCS: Which BESS Architecture Wins?

String power conversion systems distribute the workload across hundreds of smaller independent units to ensure that a single component failure does not disable a large portion of the site. As the global energy transition accelerates throughout 2026, developers and owners of Battery Energy Storage
