More than 20 years after its commissioning, the Lower Subansiri Project has begun its test run. The first of 8 units is now being wet trialled. By April-May next year, all units are expected to be commissioned, which will mean this project -- on the Arunachal-Assam border -- will produce 2000 MW of hydroelectric power, making it India's largest such project.----more----Read Moushumi Das Gupta report here: https://theprint.in/india/while-china-builds-its-mega-dam-on-brahmaputra-indias-long-delayed-subansiri-marks-key-milestone/2771548/----more----Read Ministry of environment and forest 2015 report here: https://moef.gov.in/uploads/2018/04/Volume-I.pdf----more----Watch full episode of CutTheClutter here: https://youtu.be/qSVgSN1WFJ4

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge habe ich mit Michael Zintl gesprochen, Geschäftsführer der DZG Metering GmbH aus Regensburg. Michael kommt ursprünglich aus der Automobilbranche, war viele Jahre bei Continental tätig und verantwortete dort den Bereich Sensorik. Seit zwei Jahren leitet er die DZG Metering, ein Unternehmen mit über 100 Jahren Erfahrung im Haushaltszählergeschäft, das sich seit 2020 erfolgreich auf eichrechtskonforme Messsysteme für Ladeinfrastruktur spezialisiert hat. Im Gespräch ging es um ein Thema, das für viele E-Auto-Fahrer:innen unsichtbar, aber essenziell ist: das Eichrecht. Dahinter steckt die Sicherstellung, dass beim Laden exakt die Energiemenge abgerechnet wird, die auch wirklich im Akku landet. Michael erklärte es einfach: „Der Endkunde möchte genau die Energiemenge bezahlen, die er tatsächlich erhalten hat – dafür ist der Stromzähler da.“ Die Geräte sorgen für Verbraucherschutz, Manipulationssicherheit und Markttransparenz. Jede Ladesäule, die in Deutschland betrieben wird, muss mit einem solchen eichrechtskonformen Zähler ausgestattet sein. Besonders spannend fand ich, dass es für den DC-Bereich (Schnellladen) anfangs gar keine Normen gab. DZG Metering entwickelte in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) den ersten zugelassenen DC-Zähler – eine echte Pionierarbeit. Heute liefern sie unter anderem an große Hersteller wie Alpitronic, ABB und Kempower. Das Unternehmen bietet Zähler in verschiedenen Leistungsklassen an, von 200 kW bis hin zu über zwei MW, also auch für das Megawatt-Laden der Zukunft. Ein weiterer Punkt war die technische Weiterentwicklung: Durch das sogenannte Shunt-Prinzip erreicht DZG besonders präzise Messwerte mit einer Genauigkeit von maximal 0,5 Prozent Abeichung – aktuell ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Auch das Thema Transparenz wurde diskutiert: Das Open Charge Metering Format (OCMF) ermöglicht, dass jeder Ladevorgang digital nachvollzogen werden kann, vergleichbar mit einem digitalen Kassenbon. Michael betonte: „So kann der Endverbraucher genau prüfen, dass er nur das bezahlt, was er bekommen hat.“ Natürlich sprachen wir auch über Herausforderungen. Eine Nachrüstung alter Ladesäulen mit neuen, eichrechtskonformen Zählern ist komplex und kaum ohne Zulassungsverfahren möglich. Gleichzeitig gibt es politischen Druck, die Ladeinfrastruktur nicht auszubremsen. Michael brachte es auf den Punkt: Die Behörden wollen stärker prüfen, aber niemand will funktionierende Ladepunkte zurückbauen. Zum Schluss warfen wir noch einen Blick in die Zukunft. Michael wünscht sich pragmatischere Regelungen, etwa den Wegfall des physischen Displays am Zähler zugunsten moderner, digitaler Lösungen. „Nicht jeder braucht ein Display – oft wäre es effizienter, über Smartphone oder Bluetooth zu prüfen“, sagte er. Die neue MID-Richtlinie, die in zwei Jahren greifen soll, könnte genau das ermöglichen. Nun aber genug der Vorrede – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch mit Michael Zintl einsteigen.
Episode Summary: In this special crossover episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Ana Conde from PVcase originally featured on her Watt Matters Podcast to break down one of the most critical stages of solar project development: site selection and feasibility. From choosing the right land and navigating interconnection hurdles to understanding permitting, moratoriums, and evolving market dynamics, Benoy shares hard-earned lessons from developing over 100 MW of solar projects across the U.S. He also discusses how technology, AI, and relationships all play a role in finding and executing the right solar sites. This conversation is packed with practical insights for developers, EPCs, investors, and anyone who wants to understand how the best projects actually get built. Topics Covered: What truly defines a “good” solar site and how to spot red flags early How developers can evaluate flat land, proximity to three-phase power, and interconnection feasibility The growing challenges in saturated markets like New York and New Jersey How to navigate solar moratoriums, endangered species issues, and permitting Real-world lessons from community solar and rooftop projects, including NYCHA's Harlem portfolio The role of AI, GIS tools, and automation in speeding up site selection and design Why relationships, transparency, and trust still matter more than ever How the “Big Beautiful Bill” and regulatory uncertainty are reshaping the solar landscape Trends shaping the future: solar + storage, repowering assets, and new market geographies Notable Quote: “At the end of the day, you can have all the technology in the world, but if you can't build relationships, it's a lot harder to develop great projects. People do business with those they know, like, and trust.” Key Takeaway: Solar success starts long before construction. Smart site selection, community engagement, and disciplined feasibility analysis separate projects that thrive from those that never get off the ground.

România continuă cu producția de energie electrică obținută din cărbuni. Motivul este clar: nu a putut să înlocuiască producătorii pe cărbuni cu alții care să folosească gazele naturale sau sursele regenerabile. Dar, cărbunii nu vor putea fi o soluție pe termen lung. România a reușit să obțină o derogare de la Comisia Europeană și va menține în funcțiune pentru încă o perioadă termocentralele care folosesc cărbuni, respectiv lignit. Prin PNRR, România s-a angajat să retragă din exploatare, până la sfârșitul anului 2025, aproximativ 1.750 MW, respectiv Complexul Energetic Oltenia, Electrocentrale Craiova, CET Govora și UAT Iași. Administrația de la București a tatonat încă de anul trecut Comisia Europeană pentru a amâna aplicarea deciziilor de închidere a unor unități de producție de energie electrică pe bază de cărbuni. Hotărârea a fost luată în urmă cu câteva zile o dată cu schimbarea unor jaloane din PNRR, astfel că România va mai putea să utilizeze centralele pe cărbuni până la sfârșitul anului 2029. Argumentul important pe care l-a adus România în fața Comisiei Europene a fost acela că are în continuare nevoie de producție de energie electrică în bandă și că deocamdată sursa cea mai sigură este producția bazată pe cărbuni. Adevărul este că s-a spus de multe ori că România este obligată să închidă o serie de capacități de producție bazate pe cărbuni. Este o abordare mai degrabă politică, pentru că, pe de o parte, România nu a fost obligată, ci și-a asumat deciziile în cadrul Planului Național de Redresare și Reziliență (PNRR), iar, pe de altă parte, se omite de fiecare dată să se spună că procesul de închidere trebuia să fie compensat de unul de construcție. Mai exact, România a avut la dispoziție patru ani pentru a pregăti oprirea centralelor pe cărbuni. Planul era să se construiască o serie de capacități de producție de energie electrică pe bază de gaze naturale sau din surse regenerabile. De exemplu, planul era să se construiască două centrale pe gaze la Ișalnița și Turceni. Numai că în ultimii ani nu s-a făcut aproape nimic. Turceni și Ișalnița sunt proiecte mult întârziate, centrala Romgaz de la Iernut este și ea blocată de constructor, iar colaborările pe care ar fi trebuit să le dezvolte Complexul Energetic Oltenia sunt în fază incipientă. În aceste condiții, este evident că România nu are la această oră o alternativă viabilă la producția de energie pe bază de cărbuni. Nu s-a făcut nimic pentru a produce energie electrică în bandă nu din cărbuni, ci din gaze naturale. Mai mult, România are la dispoziție bani europeni, cum ar fi, de exemplu, Fondul de Modernizare cu care poate dezvolta capacități de producție și de stocare. Doar că proiectele pe bani europeni sau cu fonduri naționale au avut aceeași soartă, adică sunt în stadii incipiente de realizare. De exemplu, Complexul Energetic Oltenia are o serie de proiecte de dezvoltare. Este vorba despre construcția a patru parcuri fotovoltaice, cu puteri instalate diferite, în colaborare cu OMV Petrom. În proiect este și un al cincilea parc fotovoltaic ce ar trebui realizat în parteneriat cu o companie de specialitate din sectorul privat. La care se adaugă două blocuri energetice ce ar fi trebuit construite la Turceni și Ișalnița în colaborare cu Alro Slatina și compania Tinmar. Este greu de spus în ce stadiu sunt aceste proiecte, dar cu siguranță sunt departe de a fi finalizate. Termenele de punere în funcțiune sunt anii 2026 sau 2027, însă, este clar că sunt mari întârzieri în dezvoltarea acestor capacități de producție. Deocamdată, Comisia Europeană a fost convinsă de păstrarea în funcțiune a termocentralelor pe cărbuni, pentru că a înțeles nevoia României de a avea energie în bandă. Întrebarea este: dacă situația va fi la fel în 2029 se va mai obține o nouă derogare? România nu ar trebui să mizeze pe amânări, ci să construiască noi capacități de producție. Dacă se va întâmpla acest lucru, oprirea unor termocentrale pe cărbuni nu va mai părea un dezastru economic, ci o binecuvântare ecologică.
LAREDO, Texas - Webb and Starr are leading South Texas in clean energy growth with new solar panels, wind power, and battery storage, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar reports.The Laredo Democrat released a new update showing that Texas' 28th Congressional District - his district - is a powerhouse in clean energy production – pairing renewable power with traditional oil and gas to lower energy costs for families and strengthen the local economy. He said that as a base for economic growth, the district ranks among the top in Texas for new energy projects, with Webb and Starr Counties leading the way in generation and development.“I've always said that South Texas doesn't have to choose between oil and gas and clean energy,” said Congressman Cuellar. “We can do both – and that's exactly what we're doing. Our district is producing more energy, creating more jobs, and generating more local tax revenue than ever before. This growth keeps costs down for every household in South Texas while ensuring reliable power for years to come.”Cuellar said because his district is a powerhouse for new energy, good jobs are being created.“When I talk with families in places like Laredo, Zapata, or Rio Grande City, I hear the same thing: people just want steady work, affordable energy, and a better future for their kids. That's what these projects bring — not slogans, but results. They mean paychecks, progress, and pride for our communities,” Cuellar said.During a webinar with reporters, Cuellar said his district is home to 30 active clean energy projects, generating 3,548 megawatts (MW) of power across six counties — with 18 more projects planned that will add another 3,062 MW of new capacity in the coming years.

Furthermore, I will reveal any investments I have in the investments mentioned herein. I have a great crop of 10 articles for you in this podcast! Note: Some companies are covered more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------- Sustainable Companies: 50 Top Investments For Sustainability on investors.com This first article could provide you with several investing ideas. It's titled Sustainable Companies: 50 Top Investments For Sustainability on investors.com. The introduction is by Anne Stanley. Here are some quotes from Ms. Stanley. “The top ranks are filled with financial services, utility and consumer companies… To build IBD's 2025 list of the Most Sustainable Companies, we started with Morningstar's U.S. and global Low Carbon Transition Leaders Indexes… The stocks had to have a price of $10 or more and sufficient data to create an IBD Composite Rating. We further qualified the list by removing stocks that did not meet or beat the S&P 500 in the past five years. We selected the companies with the highest IBD Composite Rating — all with scores of 80 or better. Finally, we ranked the companies by their Morningstar Sustainalytics climate management score, using the IBD Composite Rating to break any ties.” End quotes IBD's top 5 companies for 2025 are Eaton (ETN), Bank of Montreal (BMO), Stantec (STN), Loews (L) and TJX Companies (TJX). ------------------------------------------------------------- 10 Stocks and Funds that Benefit from China's Emissions Cuts on morningstar.com This second article might seem a little unusual. To see why, here's the title. 10 Stocks and Funds that Benefit from China's Emissions Cuts on morningstar.com. It's by Leslie P. Norton. Some of the investments are Chinese, which might bother some people; nonetheless, they will appeal to many others who follow this podcast. Here are a few quotes and some picks from the article. “China has announced plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 7%-10% from peak levels by 2035. This is the first time the country has committed to an absolute emissions target. In a video address to the United Nations, President Xi Jinping also said that China would boost wind and solar capacity sixfold from 2020 levels and increase the share of non-fossil fuels to more than 30% of total energy consumption… Who Benefits from China's Emissions Cuts? China will also accelerate its voluntary carbon market and carbon certificates, which companies can trade to offset their own emissions. Kathlyn Collins, head of responsible investing and stewardship at Matthews Asia [says]…‘With the increase in terms of focus on emissions reduction from intensity to absolute emission levels, more and more industries will come under the purview of the emissions trading scheme.' According to Collins, the main beneficiaries will be battery storage systems, grid infrastructure upgrading, smart grid metering, energy management systems, environmental consulting, monitoring compliance, and of course the continued buildout of renewables and lean power.

It's titled 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks Riding the Coming Power Crunch on finance.yahoo.com and is by George Budwell. Here are some quotes from Mr. Budwell. “1. Iren Ltd. (NASDAQ: IREN) has transformed its roots as a Bitcoin miner into a broader play on high-performance computing. The company is redeploying its energy-intensive infrastructure to support artificial intelligence, acquiring massive GPU fleets that include Nvidia's B-series accelerators and AMD's (AMD) new MI350X chips. That pivot is already showing up in the numbers: revenue climbed 226% year over year to $187 million in Q4 fiscal 2025, while gross margins improved as higher-value AI services began to supplement traditional mining… The stock has surged 326% year to date, reflecting investor enthusiasm, but the AI cloud segment is still in its early innings. The main risk is utilization: if customer demand doesn't keep pace, expensive GPUs could sit idle while fixed costs pile up. Still, Iren has so far executed well on its transition, positioning itself as one of the more credible emerging players at the intersection of compute and energy. 2. Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) designs and builds AI-optimized data centers from the ground up. Its flagship Polaris Forge campus is planned to scale to 1 gigawatt of capacity -- enough to power a small city. A marquee lease with CoreWeave (CRWV) validates demand for its high-density facilities, but the stock already trades at roughly 34 times trailing sales, far above peer multiples. That valuation captures both the upside and the risk. If Applied Digital delivers on schedule and secures high utilization at premium rates, early investors could see outsized gains. But construction delays, cost overruns, or permitting issues could quickly erode returns. The stock's sharp swings this year underline just how much speculation is embedded in today's price. 3. Poet Technologies (NASDAQ: POET) is targeting one of AI's hidden bottlenecks: the energy cost of moving data inside data centers. Its optical interposer platform uses light instead of electricity for chip-to-chip and rack-to-rack communication, aiming to cut power consumption while boosting speed… With a sub-$500 million market cap, the stock carries lottery-ticket risk/reward: meaningful upside if design wins materialize, but significant execution risk until revenues reach scale.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Shining a Light on 5 Clean Energy ETFs as We Step Into Q4 on finance.yahoo.com Now some picks from a regular to this podcast, Aparajita Dutta.

Public power utilities are community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities that deliver reliable, low-cost electricity to about 2,000 communities serving more than 55 million Americans. Among the cities served by public power utilities are Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Los Angeles, California; Jacksonville, Florida; and Seattle, Washington. The Large Public Power Council (LPPC) is the voice of large public power in Washington, D.C. It advocates for policies that enable members to build critical energy infrastructure, power the growth of the economy, and provide affordable and reliable electricity to millions of Americans. The LPPC's members are 29 of the largest public power systems in the nation. Together, they serve 30.5 million consumers across 23 states and territories. Tom Falcone, president of the LPPC, noted that all power companies, whether publicly owned, cooperatives, or investor-owned utilities (IOUs), are in the same business, that is, to reliably deliver electricity to customers. The big difference is that public power companies are accountable at home. “We're publicly owned. We are not-for-profit. We are community oriented. We're mission oriented. And so, our real goal, and only goal in life, is reliable, affordable power—sustainable power—back home at the least cost to customers,” Falcone said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “So, we're not necessarily looking to grow loads or grow earnings, unless that's favorable to our community, unless we're meeting the needs of our community or lowering costs for them.” Public power companies face many of the same concerns as co-ops and IOUs. One of the biggest challenges today is rapid load growth, driven by data centers, artificial intelligence (AI), and the increasing electrification of manufacturing and transportation. “The biggest thing is that the load is arriving faster and lumpier, and in a more concentrated fashion, than it has in the past,” explained Falcone. “Historically, when somebody new came to town, they wanted, you know, 5 MW, or maybe they were really large and they wanted 100 MW,” said Falcone. “But what we have today is folks who come to town and they want a GW, which is enough to power probably 600,000 homes, depending on what part of the country you're in.” Falcone said about half of LPPC's members are seeing this very, very rapid growth. “They could double over the next 10 years,” he said. While the demand for the energy is very immediate, utilities' ability to build infrastructure is not. “We have to go through the same permitting and public processes, and construction and supply chain, and it just doesn't allow us to build quite that fast,” Falcone reported.
In this episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we break down three major stories transforming the hydrogen landscape—technically, economically, and politically.✈️ Aviation's Hydrogen Breakthrough Airbus UpNext and Toshiba unveil the Cryoprop demonstrator—a 2 MW superconducting electric motor cooled by liquid hydrogen that doubles as both coolant and fuel. With 10x the power density of conventional motors and near-zero electrical resistance, this innovation could redefine aviation decarbonization. Hydrogen cooling enables lighter, more efficient propulsion for regional and mid-haul aircraft, paving the way for zero-emission flight by 2035.
Sandro, founder of KWARKX, shares how his team is bringing utility-scale solar to chain via NFT membership passes that let anyone participate in project returns—without the usual high minimums. We cover: why Cardano (sustainability, security, decentralization), what on-chain access actually looks like (claimable pools, 10-year participation), and the nuts & bolts of real projects (e.g., a 51 MW Netherlands solar park with 20 MW battery storage powering ~35,000 homes). Sandro explains the surge of RWA interest, grid/storage realities, subsidies vs. open market power sales, and KWARKX's Project Catalyst journey.

On this week's show, we catch up with Olivier Humbrecht, Master of Wine, Consulting Winemaker, Phantom Creek Estates, to discuss the white wine program and his views on the Similkameen Valley. Then we speak with Alessandro Lunardi, Director of North America for the famed Montalcino producer Tenuta Luce. Lunardi discusses the Montalcino terroir, as well as Merlot and Sangiovese, and the 30th anniversary of Luce 2022, the winery's flagship wine. Notable wine personality Sue Hodder, Senior Winemaker at Wynns Coonawarra Estate, returns to Vancouver to join us to discuss the seldom-made Michael Shiraz and the latest 2018 iteration in the market, named after the founder, David Wynn's son. Then we cap off the show with a 2025 harvest update from B.C. with wine marketing guru and MW, Geoffrey Moss. Oh, and we also discuss the strike and the devastating effects of the BCGEU shutdown on the hospitality business.
Germany is experiencing a battery blitz. The market is expected to triple from 2GW to 6GW in less than two years. To give a bit of context, Zach Williams from Modo Energy, gives us the big picture and fundamentals of the German battery market. Legacy developers have not yet been able to catch that wave, but newcomers have. We bring on one those new pioneers, Philipp Man, CEO of Terralayr. In less than three years, Philipp has managed to set up a company which operates or currently builds 150MW of batteries in Germany; more importantly he has managed to sign some of the first tolling agreements with heavyweights such as Vattenfall and RWE. His approach combines medium size batteries (10-30MW) rather than gigantic ones. The Vattenfall-Terralayr deal is a pioneering seven-year, 55 MW multi-asset capacity tolling agreement for a decentralized fleet of battery energy storage systems (BESS) across Germany, announced in May 2025. Described as an industry-first "virtual battery tolling structure," it marks a significant shift from traditional single-asset tolling models, enabling scalable and flexible energy storage solutions without significant capital investment from Vattenfall. With Philipp, we dissect his lightspeed approach in a seemingly bureaucratic environment, we analyse how he has been to put assets on the ground so fast, and his approach to commercialisation of flexibility combining hard assets and a digital layer. We discuss the price formation of tolling agreements, the “tranching” of capacity and how he sees the future. Is Terralayr a tech company? Is it an infrastructure play? Well, a bit of both.
A conversation on nuclear's next wave with Giordano Morichi of Terra Innovatum and Gus Garcia of GSR III Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: GSRT) Developers of small, modular nuclear reactors have been among the most prized stocks of 2025 given their potential to be big players in the energy mix as data center demand booms. This demand is massive, but when it comes to nuclear reactor design, Terra Innovatum believes it's a matter of the smaller the better. This week, we speak with Giordano Morichi, Chief Business Development Officer and Head of Investor Relations at Terra Innovatum, and Gus Garcia, Co-CEO of GSR III Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:GSRT). The two announced a $475 million business combination April and are now nearing the end of their merger process. Giordano explains why the unique size of Terra Innovatum's 1 MW reactor designs make it a more competitive fit for a host of applications, and how its fuel source could get it to market faster initially and more efficiently over time. Gus gets into how these factors have the potential to compound Terra Innovatum's advantages and why the major gains made by the company's listed peers has made its valuation even more attractive since the deal was struck.

In the 34th episode of the League Podcast, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down the most important trends shaping the renewable energy market today. In just five minutes, we cover the biggest opportunities and risks facing developers, investors, and innovators in solar, storage, and beyond. Key Takeaways Data Centers Driving Demand – Over 9.4 GW of interconnection applications in New Jersey's PSEG market in the last 12 months, led by data centers and advanced manufacturing. Community Solar Boom – New Jersey targets 3 GW by 2029, opening opportunities for rooftop developers; Illinois, Maryland, and New York projects can now pencil without the ITC if interconnection and lease terms align. Hybrid Power Solutions – A 944 MW behind-the-meter natural gas + battery storage plant in Pennsylvania highlights the shift toward hybrid generation and reliability models. Solar + Storage vs. Gas – New Jefferies analysis shows solar + storage is now cheaper than natural gas on a levelized cost basis. Safe Harbor Updates – New rules replace the 5% test with “beginning of construction” standards for projects above 1.5 MW AC, requiring four-year continuity and physical work tests. Capacity Growth Outlook – EIA forecasts 64 GW of solar and 18 GW of storage additions in 2025, making solar nearly half of all new U.S. capacity. Why It Matters David highlights how developers can prepare for interconnection competition, leverage new community solar programs, and navigate shifting tax credit rules. I share insights on the new safe harboring provisions and what they mean for financing and project timelines. Together, we paint a picture of a rapidly scaling clean energy sector where solar is poised to supply 50–60% of U.S. electricity within two decades.

Duke Energy's Andy Browning joins Dave and Steve to unpack how a modern utility balances today's demand spikes—especially from data centers—with tomorrow's low-carbon grid. Andy traces his path from Babcock & Wilcox field engineer to Duke's GM of Engineering & Construction Services, explains why Duke runs an “all-of-the-above” strategy (gas as a bridge, batteries for flexibility, solar growth, hydro upgrades), and makes the case that nuclear—both large units and SMRs—will anchor long-term reliability. The trio dig into dam stabilization, battery use cases (peak shaving and PV smoothing), project timelines and costs, community engagement, and how policy and tariffs shape what actually gets built. They close with a look at fusion research and a rapid-fire on bourbon, woodworking, and what fuels resilience.Key TakeawaysCareer & scope: Andy oversees engineering, construction, commissioning, quality, safety, and project controls for Duke's big builds.Cultural lesson: International work taught him to respect local pace and processes—context changes what “top priority” means.Hydro safety: Post-FERC reviews are driving earthen-dam rebuilds (compaction, drainage layers) to prevent liquefaction under seismic events.Resource mix: Duke is pursuing gas, nuclear, solar, hydro, and batteries; offshore wind unlikely near-term given costs and policy headwinds.Batteries' role: Great for peak shaving and smoothing solar variability; typical systems are 2–4-hour duration (e.g., 10 MW / 40 MWh).Scale & siting: Solar needs ~6–10 acres per MW and only delivers during daylight; data centers requesting 400–1,000 MW reshape planning.Timelines & costs (rule of thumb): Batteries ~12–15 months after development; solar similar; combined-cycle gas ~4 years; nuclear 10+ years.Cost reality: A 75-MW solar site ≈ $100–150M; a 1,000-MW gas plant ≈ ~$2B; nuclear is multiples beyond—but with long lifespans.Nuclear outlook: Expect SMRs + large reactors; challenges include qualified supply chains, workforce, and public education; existing units targeting 80-year life via extensions.Data-center surge: Demand is soaring; innovative financing/ownership models (e.g., behind-the-meter, cost-sharing) may protect retail customers.
In this DCF Trends-Nomads at the Summit Podcast episode, the hosts from Data Center Frontier and Nomad Futurist sit down with Adrienne Pierce, CEO of New Sun Road, to explore the emerging frontier of sovereign and renewable energy solutions for modular data center deployment. With over 1,500 microgrids under management via the company's Stellar platform, Pierce brings a field-tested perspective on how flexible, AI-driven energy controls can empower edge and sub-10 MW data center systems—especially in regions where traditional grid infrastructure can't keep up with AI-era demands. This discussion dives into the real-world opportunities for modular, microgrid-powered data centers to unlock new markets, reduce energy costs, and create more resilient and autonomous compute infrastructure at the edge and beyond. Expect sharp insights into what it means to decouple data center growth from utility bottlenecks—and how the right energy intelligence can accelerate both sustainability and scalability.
A Clean Wisconsin analysis shows just two approved data centers in Wisconsin will use more power than all the homes in our state combined. More than the generation capacity of the Point Beach nuclear plant, the single-largest source of power in Wisconsin. And that leaves a lot of people are wondering, where is all this leading us? What will it mean for Wisconsin's precious water resources, our land, our energy bills? And why is it so hard to find out? In this episode, an in-depth conversation on the secrets of data centers. Host: Amy Barrilleaux Guest: Michael Greif, Midwest Environmental Advocates Resources for You: AI data centers in Wisconsin will use more energy than all homes in state combined Large Wisconsin data center tax breaks make benefits unclear MEA Takes Legal Action to Compel City of Racine to Disclose Data Center's Projected Water Use PSC approves plan to power AI data center with gas plants, bringing 1,200 MW of new, dirty power to southeast Wisconsin

GM EXTENDS EV LEASE INCENTIVES THROUGH YEAR-END GM will extend EV lease incentives for Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac through December 31, protecting deals signed before September 30 despite the federal tax credit expiry. The program lets buyers lock in rebates for vehicles already in transit, with lease prices expected to rise after the commercial-credit route closes. PORSCHE CAYENNE EV DEVELOPED WITH SIMULATIONS Porsche's Cayenne EV, due for debut at the end of the year, was developed using extensive AI and digital simulations that cut development time and prototype count by 20%. The SUV, built on the 800V SSP platform, targets a fast charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes and offers wireless charging as an option. 35% OF UK DRIVERS LIKELY TO CHOOSE EVS Renault UK's survey finds 35% of British drivers are likely to choose an EV following the government's Electric Car Grant, especially younger buyers and men. Barriers include charging, range, and cost, but all Renault's EVs now qualify for grant thresholds, starting from £21,495. EREVS: CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING AND OPPORTUNITY Escalent research reveals most car buyers lack awareness of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), but favorability rises after learning about their hybrid nature. Automakers see EREVs as a bridge to EV adoption for hesitant buyers, and models like Ram's pickup and VW Scout are attracting more deposits than BEVs. TESLA-UBER FREIGHT TO DRIVE SEMI ADOPTION Tesla is partnering with Uber Freight to deploy electric Semis on freight routes, aiming to drive broader EV truck adoption and highlight operating cost benefits. Uber's network helps reduce uncertainties for operators, positioning Tesla's Semi to compete in commercial shipping lanes with “no compromises”. TESLA SETTLES TWO 2019 AUTOPILOT LAWSUITS Tesla discreetly settled two lawsuits from 2019 California crashes involving Autopilot; these come after a major Florida verdict against Tesla over FSD failures. The settlements underscore legal risks around Tesla's self-driving technology, which is central to the company's trillion-dollar valuation narrative. MUNICH AIRPORT OPENS 275-POINT EV CHARGING PARK Munich Airport opened Bavaria's largest EV charging park with 275 stations and a solar array of 7,216 modules generating up to 3 MW of renewable power.

U.S. EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWTH SLOWS U.S. EV charging infrastructure growth slowed to 19% in the past year, even as demand rises, and total charging output increased 52%. A survey found 53% of U.S. respondents cited lacking charging access as the biggest barrier to EV adoption. UK PLANS £500M SOUTHAMPTON EV TERMINAL ABP plans a £500 million electric vehicle terminal at Southampton to handle surging imports of Chinese EVs, projecting over 100,000 vehicles in 2026—20% of UK car trade through the port. Expansion plans include multi-storey storage, new berths, and capacity to meet demand, as the UK takes a more open approach than the EU or US on Asian EV imports.
Pourquoi les éoliennes produisent-elles plus d'électricité quand il fait froid ? La réponse tient à la fois à la physique de l'air et au fonctionnement même des turbines.La densité de l'air : un facteur cléL'électricité produite par une éolienne dépend principalement de la vitesse du vent et de la densité de l'air. La formule de base est la suivante :Puissance = ½ × ρ × S × v³ × Cpoù ρ est la densité de l'air, S la surface balayée par les pales, v la vitesse du vent et Cp le rendement aérodynamique.Or, la densité de l'air varie avec la température. À 0 °C, l'air est environ 10 % plus dense qu'à 30 °C. Concrètement, 1 m³ d'air pèse environ 1,29 kg à 0 °C contre 1,16 kg à 30 °C. Cette différence, qui peut sembler faible, a un effet direct sur la puissance récupérée : plus l'air est lourd, plus il contient d'énergie cinétique pour une même vitesse de vent.Exemple chiffréPrenons une éolienne terrestre de 2 MW, avec un vent de 12 m/s. À 30 °C, elle produira environ 1,7 MW. À 0 °C, dans les mêmes conditions de vent, elle peut monter à 1,9 MW. Le gain est donc de plus de 10 % simplement dû au froid.Les régimes de vent en hiverÀ cela s'ajoute un autre facteur : en hiver, dans beaucoup de régions tempérées, les vents sont plus soutenus et plus réguliers. En Europe par exemple, les parcs éoliens atteignent souvent des facteurs de charge (le rapport entre production réelle et production théorique maximale) de 35 à 40 % en hiver, contre seulement 20 à 25 % en été. Cela signifie que non seulement chaque tour de pale produit davantage d'énergie, mais qu'en plus, les éoliennes tournent plus longtemps à des vitesses optimales.Attention aux extrêmesIl existe toutefois une limite. Les éoliennes sont conçues pour fonctionner entre environ -20 °C et +40 °C. En dessous, la glace peut se former sur les pales, modifiant leur aérodynamique et diminuant la production. C'est pourquoi certaines machines sont équipées de systèmes de dégivrage.En résuméLes éoliennes produisent plus d'électricité par temps froid, d'abord parce que l'air est plus dense et contient donc plus d'énergie, ensuite parce que les régimes de vent hivernaux sont plus favorables. C'est ce double effet qui explique que, dans des pays comme la France, l'Allemagne ou le Danemark, les records de production éolienne se situent presque toujours en hiver. Hébergé par Acast.

Ep 551 - Tilting at Windmills Guest: Dan Woynillowicz By Stuart McNish “Tilting at windmills” is an idiom which means “attacking imaginary enemies.” Windmills are, however, real and they have real detractors and attackers – detractors who portray wind turbines as being an environmental blight that produces little power. There was a modicum of truth to the knock on windmills in the 1980s when thousands of them appeared in the San Gorgonio Pass in California. By 1987, there were more than 4,200 wind turbines in the Pass leading into Palm Springs that generated between 50 to 100 kilowatts of power. Today, the total number of wind turbines in the San Gorgonio Pass is 666, generating 628 MW or enough to power close to 800,000 homes. Advances in design, construction, power generation and operation have seen the overall growth of wind generated power improve. The nine new wind farms in British Columbia will be home to 292 next-generation windmills that will produce enough energy to power approximately 500,000 homes, a substantial increase in power generation over California's wind turbines. We invited Dan Woynillowicz of Polaris Strategy to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the truth behind wind turbines and the increasing role they are playing in renewable energy in British Columbia and elsewhere.

Prior to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Moldova was ranked by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as among the least self sufficient countries in the world in terms of energy. The country imported nearly all of its natural gas from Russia, and gas provided to the Transnistrian region by Russia free of charge was used to generate about 75% of the country's electricity. With the onset of the war, and Russia's choice to spark multiple energy crises in Moldova as a tool of coercion, the country has had to make rapid changes. Moldova's Renewable Energy Revolution In April 2025, an all-time record of 36% of the country's total electricity consumption was provided by locally produced renewable energy. Right now, Moldova has more than 750 MW of installed renewables capacity - more than an 8x increase from 4 years ago. Of this, 529 MW is from photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, 212 MW is from wind energy and the rest is from biogas and hydroelectric. By far the fastest growing source of power generation in Moldova is PV panels. The Complex Public-Private Mix Driving Investment Since Moldova fully broke away from Russian supplied energy, consumer electricity prices have skyrocketed. This has led to a major push from the government to diversify energy sources and modernize the country's energy market. In a situation where the country's only major traditional power generation capability is two small scale Soviet-era thermoelectric plants, this has led to a major pivot towards renewables. Carolina Novac, State Secretary of the newly created Ministry of Energy, explained that the government now has 3 priorities in the energy market - security, affordability and competition. Taken together these priorities mean Moldovan made energy, especially renewables. The Ministry recently approved the results of a series of tenders for the construction of new renewable energy installations, namely 105 MW of wind and 60 MW of solar. According to Irina Apostol, Energy Manager at NGO Green City Lab in Chisinau, investments like these are attractive because the suppliers can benefit from 15 year fixed-rate supply contracts. But there are also options for smaller investors to get involved in Moldova's energy transition. For "small producers" building photovoltaic plants up to 1 MW there is another program allowing for regulated fixed-rates for power production also on 15-year contracts. This program has limits though, equipment can't be older than 36 months and there is a cap on the total capacity that can be licensed under this plan. The country's existing power grid and regulatory framework mean that there are lots of new opportunities, but also lots of upgrades and reforms needed to build a modern, green energy system. Energy Aggregators and Small Investors Navitas Energy, a subsidiary of Moldova's largest power company Premier Energy, is a major player in Moldova's renewable energy market. The company operates on the unregulated market, buying and selling energy according to market prices without long term guaranteed contracts. They have constructed 5 photovoltaic parks of their own with a capacity of 18 MW, but also work with other small producers as an aggregator. Caption: A new photovoltaic park built by Navitas in Budesti near Vadul lui Voda. PV parks have become a regular appearance in the Moldovan countryside set amidst vineyards and rolling fields. "Navitas Energy SRL, acting as an aggregator together with the producers that own 121 renewable energy power generation plants, accumulates a total installed capacity of 180 MW." writes Navitas CEO Mihail Gidei The small investors behind those 121 solar and wind power plants sell energy to Navitas which bundles this power and sells it forward - both to Moldovan customers and on the Romanian and Ukrainian markets. This allows small producers who might not be eligible for fixed contract government programs to invest and sell their energy to consumers. The average producer in Navitas' network is rela...

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) regroup to riff on miner-to-AI megadeals, gas-to-power plays, and a modular ASIC that could reset fleet economics.AI x Power x BitcoinThis week we break down:TeraWulf × Google – a 10-year, 200 MW hosting deal (headline $3.7B; options could push multiyear value far higher) and why clean, reliable electrons (nuke/hydro) earn a premium—and might end in outright M&A.Who's Next? – the consolidation map: why Bitfarms (and possibly IREN/Iris) look “target-ready,” what MARA/RIOT are more likely to do, and how miner stock spikes telegraph hyperscaler interest.CoreWeave–Core Scientific Playbook – how long-dated revenue agreements morph into acquisitions when the real prize is energized, rack-ready capacity.Coterra's Power Option – a 7-year gas sale to CPV's 1.3 GW CCGT in Ward County with the right to buy ~250 MW/day indexed to ERCOT West—the first true Permian netback template and what it signals for E&Ps.Turbines, Permits & Sudoku – deposits and long lead times, GPA/air permits (NOx/CO₂), and the catch-22 between offtakes and hardware—why scale + compliance + capital win.Block's Proto Miner – Apple-clean design, rack-side sub-90-second repairs (as pitched), modular hashboards, open-source fleet software, and a 10-year design life—what that does to uptime and capex cycles.The AI Arms Race – trillion-dollar capex, billion-dollar talent bids, China's generation build-out, and why power-secure brownfield beats greenfield timelines.Where to Find Us IRL – Permian Power Conference (Midland, Sep 29–30) + Texas Capitol investor day/North American Blockchain Summit (Dallas, October).
Principle Power announces that floating offshore wind projects using the WindFloat technology have generated more than 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) of cumulative energy since WindFloat 1 was connected to the grid in 2011. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of the WindFloat designs, and the readiness of the company's 4th generation designs for commercial scale projects. The 1 TWh output includes generation from: WindFloat 1: 2 MW pilot in Portugal (2011-2016) and Scotland (2018-2020). WindFloat Atlantic: 25 MW project in operation since 2020 off the coast of Portugal. Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm: a 48 MW project in operation since 2021 off the coast of Scotland. Together, these assets have demonstrated robustness in severe Atlantic and North Sea conditions, withstanding waves of up to 20 meters and winds of up to 214 Km/h (equivalent to a Category 4 typhoon), while delivering exceptional performance. Floating offshore wind projects delivering more energy The WindFloat platforms enable maximum wind turbine generation through a combination of empirically validated features: Semisubmersible architecture, providing a stable platform that enables the system to comply with all wind turbine operational and extreme limits. A platform hull trim system that uses water ballast to counteract wind turbine-induced thrust forces, keeps the wind turbine oriented vertically (within 0-2 degrees >97% of the time), increasing energy generated by up to 2.5% versus passive platforms. A robust and redundant system architecture that is delivering an average platform availability of ~99% across the operating fleet. Julian Arrillaga Costa, Chief Executive Officer said: "Reaching the 1 TWh milestone is a clear validation of our WindFloat technology and the expert team we've built to support the design, delivery, and operation of floating wind projects worldwide. These projects have exposed us to the full range of complexity in the sector, providing valuable lessons that we are using to continuously refine and improve our technical and commercial offering. This depth of experience provides a strong foundation for delivering derisked, cost-effective commercial projects, supporting our vision of a planet powered by floating wind." Building on the experience of WindFloat Atlantic, Kincardine, and the under construction 30 MW Les Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion (EFGL) project that will be connected to the grid later this year, Principle Power is working closely with clients, suppliers, and operators to plan the delivery of the first generation of commercial scale floating wind projects in key markets, including France, South Korea, and the UK. These projects expect to feature 12-70 wind turbines of 15-20 MW each, nearly double the rated capacity of the wind turbines installed at WindFloat Atlantic and Kincardine. The operational data and insights from the first TWh of generation provide a strong basis of confidence for customers and their financial stakeholders, demonstrating that Principle Power and its WindFloat technologies have the proven track-record to scale floating wind projects and support the global expansion of the industry. Overview of Principle Power's operating track record: 12 WindFloat units installed or under installation or decommissioned. 13?years of field operational experience and 17 project-years of cumulative operations: WindFloat 1: 2011-2016 in Portugal plus 2018-2020 in Scotland. WindFloat Atlantic: 2020-present in Portugal. Kincardine: 2021-present in Scotland. 300,000 hours of cumulative operational experience. 1 TWh global WindFloat energy generated. ~99% platform availability. 0 (zero) lost time incidents. 20 m maximum wave height encountered. 214 Km/h (59.6 m/s) maximum wind speed encountered (equivalent to category 4 typhoon). Completed tow-to-shore floating wind turbine large corrective operations at Kincardine, proving the technical feasibility of the approach and yielding lessons to optimize planning for future tow...

Trump messaged the people that everything is being put into place to win the midterms. Stage has now been set. Economy Governor Murphy's Green New Deal Exacerbates NJ Energy Crisis New Jerseyans are feeling the pain of higher electricity bills. They should blame Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) for inviting this energy crisis. The BPU was slated to approve a 20% rate hike in June, but delayed the rate hike until September 30. On August 14, the BPU announced a $100 Residential Universal Bill Credit to help lower bills in September and October. This is a way to use taxes to disguise the cost of utility bills, but New Jerseyans are still shouldering these costs. When announcing this relief measure, Governor Murphy didn't accept responsibility for higher prices. Instead, he blamed PJM Interconnection, a grid operator servicing New Jersey and 12 other states, for creating a “cost crisis.” Earlier this summer, he urged residents to set their air conditioners to 76-78 degrees Fahrenheit and delay appliance usage until 8 p.m. But Garden Staters aren't buying what Murphy is selling. Since Governor Murphy entered office in 2017, six power plants—including five coal plants and Oyster Creek nuclear reactor—were shut down. This represents a loss of 2,500 megawatts (MW) of net capacity. As a result, the state consumes more energy than it produces. It imported 20% of its electricity from out-of-state power generators—namely, Pennsylvania. Imported electricity is more expensive due to higher fuel and transmission costs. One analysis found NJ's green “transition” “has outpaced its replacement infrastructure, raising concerns about grid stability, cost volatility, and energy independence.” Yet, there is no transition occurring. Natural gas and nuclear have cumulatively supplied over 90% of the state's net electricity generation since 2011. Renewables, including solar, barely supply 8%. But don't take my word for it. States with clean energy mandates—including renewable standard portfolios (RPS) that mandate electric utilities set renewable energy targets—generally have higher electricity costs compared to states without them. As of this writing, New Jersey electricity rates are the 12th most expensive in the nation, averaging 20.49¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh). That's 17.3% higher than the national average (17.47¢ per kWh). For context, the average American household uses about 10,800 kWh annually.
