Germany boasts the biggest economy in Europe. Yet energy-intensive industries in the country are struggling with high energy costs versus their global competitors. The German government has said it will aim to lower the cost of power to EUR 50/MWh - far below current wholesale prices - from 1 January 2026 with the launch of its new industry power price.What are the implications for German companies, larger firms as well as the smaller and medium sized companies that are the engines of the country's economy?In this episode, Richard speaks to Dr. Claudia Kemfert about the current sentiment towards the coalition government. In addition, what doed its plans to tender 10GW of predominantly gas-fired power plants says about Germany's commitment to the green energy transition?Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel NewsContributor: Christian Driessen - Germany Editor, Montel NewsGuest: Dr. Claudia Kemfert - Professor of Energy Economics and Energy Policy at Leuphana University Lüneburg, and Head of the Energy, Transportation and Environment Department at the German Institute for Economic ResearchEditor: Oscar Birk HellenesProducer: Sarah Knowles
W Radiu Wnet, w Klubie Przyjaciół Metali Ziem Rzadkich, spotkali się trzej doświadczeni menedżerowie: Tomasz Zdzikot (były prezes KGHM i Poczty Polskiej), Krzysztof Domarecki (założyciel i główny akcjonariusz Grupy Selena) oraz Szczepan Ruman (były prezes Świętokrzyskiej Grupy Przemysłowej Industria). Dyskusję prowadził Krzysztof Skowroński, który skierował rozmowę zarówno ku polskim inwestycjom, jak i globalnej przyszłości przemysłu.KGHM i „drill baby drill” premieraRozmowa rozpoczęła się od ostatniej wizyty Donalda Tuska na budowie nowego szybu górniczego KGHM w Retkowie i hasła premiera: „Wiercimy, nie gadamy”. Zdzikot oceniał te zapowiedzi ostrożnie, przypominając, że inwestycje górnicze są procesem wieloletnim.KGHM to nasze srebra rodowe (...) W tym przypadku mówimy o inwestycjach w trzy nowe szyby: GG2, Redków i Gaworzyce. To wszystko inwestycje wspierające wydobycie miedzi. Miedzi, która jest surowcem krytycznym według wszystkich nomenklatur. Oczywiście to są inwestycje kosztowne. Łącznie te trzy szyby mają kosztować mniej więcej około 9 miliardów złotych, a inwestycja potrwa kilkanaście lat– mówił. Zwrócił też uwagę, że przez lata ani rząd PO-PSL, ani PiS nie poradziły sobie z problemem podatku miedziowego.Polski wymiar podatku miedziowego jest po prostu horrendalny. (…) Hamuje możliwości inwestycyjne firmy– zaznaczał.Energetyczna spirala, która wymknęła się spod kontroliPunktem zwrotnym rozmowy był moment, w którym Skowroński zapytał o wpływ kosztów energii na inwestycje KGHM, w tym na koszty drążenia szybów. Wtedy głos zabrał Szczepan Ruman, przedstawiając obraz, który mógłby być case study europejskiego upadku energetycznego.Cena energii stanowi chyba 23 proc. w ogóle kosztów górnictwa. W związku z czym to jest troszeczkę takie perpetuum mobile. Jak nasze firmy energetyczne podnoszą ceny energii, to rośnie cena węgla. Jak rośnie cena węgla, to rośnie cena energii– wskazywał.Ruman opisał, jak w 2022 r., podczas kryzysu gazowego wywołanego przez Putina, PGE podniosła ceny energii dla przemysłu z ok. 400 zł do prawie 2,5 tys. zł za MWh, mimo że elektrownie węglowe nie poniosły porównywalnych kosztów. To – jak powiedział – dowód na to, że krajowe koncerny energetyczne również nie zdały egzaminu.Domarecki: Europa przegrała walkę o cenę energiiNajbardziej poruszające fragmenty padły jednak z ust Krzysztofa Domareckiego – przedsiębiorcy prowadzącego fabryki na kilku kontynentach. Jego analiza była brutalnie precyzyjna.Po pierwsze – różnice w cenach energii:W Polsce średnia cena to 750 zł za megawatogodzinę. W Stanach płacimy trochę poniżej 300 zł. W Chinach duże firmy mają między 200 a 250. W Brazylii 90–130 zł. W Kazachstanie 220 zł– wyliczał.Po drugie – wnioski:Elity europejskie zapomniały, że rozgrywka o cenę energii jest najbardziej podstawową rozgrywką, jeśli chcesz mieć konkurencyjny przemysł– dodał. Domarecki przytoczył rozmowy z liderami biznesu z Niemiec i Holandii. Ich konkluzje są dla Europy druzgocące.Politycy niemieccy przez ostatnie 15 lat zapomnieli, co jest źródłem bogactwa. Przyzwyczaili się, że pieniądz jest i można go wydawać bez konsekwencji– wskazał.Najmocniejsze było jednak porównanie, które padło później:Gdyby Polska była, tak jak Niemcy, światowym gigantem przemysłowym, żyjącym z eksportu i z nadwyżki eksportowej, która wytworzyła to bogactwo, to elity polskie nie doprowadziłyby do zamknięcia 23 reaktorów atomowych, które napędzały niemiecką energię przez lata. Tymczasem wyobraźmy sobie, że elity niemieckie to zrobiły– wskazał.
La burbuja de la inteligencia artificial (IA) se refiere al rápido aumento en las valoraciones de empresas y proyectos relacionados con esta tecnología, impulsado por expectativas elevadas sobre su impacto transformador. Desde 2022, el sector ha atraído inversiones superiores a los 100.000 millones de dólares anuales a nivel global, según datos de Crunchbase y PitchBook. Grandes modelos de lenguaje como GPT-4 o Gemini han generado entusiasmo, pero muchas aplicaciones comerciales dependen aún de integraciones básicas sobre estas bases, sin avances propietarios significativos. El consumo energético es un desafío real: entrenar un modelo grande puede requerir hasta 1.000 MWh, equivalente al consumo anual de cientos de hogares, según informes de la Universidad de Stanford y Google.

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, DCF Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with Ed Nichols, President and CEO of Expanse Energy / RRPT Hydro, and Gregory Tarver, Chief Electrical Engineer, about a new kind of hydropower built for the AI era. RRPT Hydro's piston-driven gravity and buoyancy system generates electricity without dams or flowing rivers—using the downward pull of gravity and the upward lift of buoyancy in sealed cylinders. Once started, the system runs self-sufficiently, producing predictable, zero-emission power. Designed for modular, scalable deployment—from 15 kW to 1 GW—the technology can be installed underground or above ground, enabling data centers to power themselves behind the meter while reducing grid strain and even selling excess energy back to communities. At an estimated Levelized Cost of Energy of $3.50/MWh, RRPT Hydro could dramatically undercut traditional renewables and fossil power. The company is advancing toward commercial readiness (TRL 7–9) and aims to build a 1 MW pilot plant within 12–15 months. Nichols and Tarver describe this moonshot innovation, introduced at the 2025 DCF Trends Summit, as a “Wright Brothers moment” for hydropower—one that could redefine sustainable baseload energy for data centers and beyond. Listen now to explore how RRPT Hydro's patented piston-driven system could reshape the physics, economics, and deployment model of clean energy.

Spark Club Podcast recorded on 31 October 2025 Highlights BESS deployments booming in Australia Batteries are the biggest disruptive force in global energy markets in 2025. Australia becomes world's third-largest utility battery market. Australia has overtaken the UK to rank behind China and the US in utility-scale battery capacity, with 14GW/37GWh of projects at or nearing financial close. Rystad Energy estimates the Australian pipeline of battery projects jumped 45GW in one year from 109GW in August 2024 to 154GW now. Meanwhile Minister Bowen is rightly crowing about the >100,000 home battery installs so far. Worth noting the world's largest hybrid BESS by MASDAR in the UAE, a 5GW solar and 19GWh BESS designed to provide 1GW of 24/7 power supply commenced construction this week. And AEMO's new 3Q2025 Quarterly Energy Dynamics report reveals that average wholesale electricity prices across the National Electricity Market, fell to $87/MWh, down 27% on the same quarter last year. AEMO says the surge in battery storage – up an average 461MW in the evening peaks – clearly had an impact on other peaking generation sources, with gas fired generation down 11%. All of these factors also helped the renewable share hit a new 3Q high of 42.7%, nearly 10% higher than the Q3 average of 39.3% last year. You'd never know this reading the mainstream climate science denialist media! AEMO's Quarterly Energy dynamics report had great news for Minister Bowen. China The September 2025 electricity generation statistics for China show a ⬇️ 5.4% yoy decline in coal and gas generation for the September month, and a ⬇️ 1.2% yoy decline in the first nine months. And with cement production volumes -5.2% yoy YTD 2025, and crude steel volumes -2.9% yoy YTD 2025, that is consistent with Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA)'s suggestion that China's national emissions peaked back in March 2024. Rho Motion reports China's EV sales in the first nine months of 2025 are 9.0m, +24% yoy, largely in line with the global rate of +26% yoy (given China is 61% of global EV sales in 2025 YTD), while China's EV exports are booming. Lowlights Sanjeev Gupta strikes Australia again, and again, this time InfraBuild InfraBuild reported a net loss of $250m in FY2025 and is likely trading while insolvent, thanks to Gupta have borrowed $1.07bn of really expensive debt against it. Beyond time ASIC acted against directors. Tomago Closure Threats Rio Tinto is threatening to close Tomago aluminium smelter due to their inability to access cheap coal power beyond 2028. Oliver Yates has proposed a simple government intervention to ensure low cost zero emissions firmed #RE to permanently solve this problem. We cant afford to have every multinational corporate lining up for $100-1000m subsidies, blackmailing the Federal Government trying valiantly to implement their FMIA, 82% RE by 2030 and Green Metal Exports policies. The Methane Gas lobby is out in force The NSW and SA governments are out lobbying on behalf of SANTOS, trying to force Narrabri gas development through again, and again. Meanwhile the SA government announced another $17m taxpayer subsidy for new methane gas developments in SA. BlueScope is leading a manufacturing lobby group calling for more gas development. The obvious solution is to accelerate electrification of everything so we permanently remove our addiction to fossil fuels. Main Story – Fossil fuel subsidies It was Tim's pleasure to met former US Vice President Al Gore at the IGCC annual investor conference, and then for a follow up private session hosted by Wollemi and SEC with Australia's largest Asset Owners. Al Gore had Tim when he demanded governments should stop giving fossil fuel companies subsidies! Al Gore stamina and determination is seriously impressive, he spoke for over an hour at IGCC then gave a lunch presentation and then another afternoon presentation. CEF continues to advocate for the Federal Government to reform the diesel fuel rebate, a $12bn annual subsidy for expensive high emissions imported diesel. It was brilliant to have Matt Kean, Chair of the CCA repeatedly call out this massive $12bn annual subsidy by Treasurer Jim Chalmers, the 15th largest budget expense item, and promote CEF's Transition Tax Incentive idea to instead incentivise the mining majors to invest in electrification and decarbonisation. CEF will be working with a growing coalition of aligned voices from CANA, LEAN, ACTU and Fortescue et al to push for this long overdue reform, particularly given it would be perfect announceable for Minister Bowen if and when Australia gets the COP31 presidency! What's coming up? Next week Tim is joining the ACBC for a full day discussion on Australia-China Energy Transition Dialogue then 2 days with the Climate Capital Forum in its third Parliament House delegation this year to discuss key issues in cleantech – YFYS, diesel fuel rebate and getting public capital deployments accelerated. Then in December Tim is joining the NSW Government for a battery forum in Guangdong China.
Flexibilität ist kein Buzzword, sondern Business – und Klimaschutz zum Mitverdienen. Mit Christoph Gardlo (COO & Co-Founder, ESFORIN – Energy Services for Industry) sprechen wir über Speicher, Regeln, Preise bis 9.999 €/MWh, 2- vs. 4-Stunden-Batterien, Smart-Meter-Reality und warum Stadtwerke jetzt cross-market denken sollten.

In dieser Folge wird's handfest: Uwe Weber ehemanls von den Stadtwerken Lemgo zeigt, wie Wärmewende pragmatisch gelingt. Wir sprechen über ein KWK-System, das 2022 ausgezeichnet wurde, und einen Fuhrpark aus BHKW, Solarthermie (~10.000 m²; ~3,5 GWh/Jahr), Fluss- und Klärwasser-Wärmepumpen. Lemgo liefert heute ~150 GWh Fernwärme bei rund 45 % Anschlussquote – mit Blick auf 65–70 % bis 2035. Uwe erklärt, warum KWK trotz sinkender Jahresstunden (Ø ~3.000 h) wirtschaftlich bleibt, wie Teillast-Strategien Wärmepumpen stabiler machen und weshalb Netzeffekte in die Einsatzoptimierung gehören. Highlight: das „Wind-trifft-Wärme“-Projekt – 6,2 MW Windrad speist direkt eine ~3,5 MW Wärmepumpe, gepuffert von einem neuen 17.000 m³-Speicher (~650 MWh). Wir reden offen über Netzkapazitäten, Förderlogik, kommunale Wärmeplanung und das Erfolgsrezept „Konzernstadt“ (Stadt & Stadtwerke als Team). Persönlich wird's auch: Uwes Lernkurve zwischen Spitzenlast, Tinnitus und innerer Stimme – und warum genau diese Balance die Energiewende schneller und menschlicher macht. Mit Humor, Herz und klaren Zahlen.

Check out OpenSolar OS 3.0 at: https://suncast.media/opensolar More batter density = more value, right? Not so fast.In this episode, we challenge the hype around energy storage density—and reveal what really drives value for battery storage assets.At RE+ 2025, Nico Johnson got to connect with two powerhouse product leaders from Wärtsilä Energy Storage: Neha Sinha, Head of Hardware Portfolio, and Ruchira Shah, Lead for Software Product Management. Together, they're crystal clear about how hardware and software integration impacts performance, revenue, and long-term viability in energy storage projects. And how that translates to strategic value for battery operators.If you think “more megawatt-hours per box” is the endgame, you might be oversizing your system—and leaving cash on the table. Neha and Ruchira explain why “usable energy,” not just nameplate capacity, is the real metric investors should care about. And why that's not solely defined by the MWH you can stuff inside a container.Expect to learn:
The future of batteries—including a surprising chemistry that works all the way down to –50°C. We'll also look at New York City's new speed limit for e-bikes, the world's first driverless truck border crossing, and how a listener in Japan pressed Saskatchewan's premier on renewables. CORRECTION: 600,000 tons of hydrogen does not produce 200 terawatt hours of electricity. It's only 2! AI halucinated and let us down. We appologize. We explore whether Saskatchewan really is “too cold to decarbonize,” with insights from researchers like Brett Dolter and Stanford's Mark Z. Jacobson. Plus, we compare the province's energy choices with bold projects in northern China and the Netherlands, where renewables are surging ahead despite tough climates. In listener mail, Jon from Japan updates us on solar and EV progress in his city, proving that persistence pays off. And in the Lightning Round, we'll cover fossil fuel declines in Europe, China's new climate pledge, a Canadian wildfire twist that helped crops, India's nuclear expansion, Nigeria's solar boom, and BYD's massive new battery breakthrough.

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.
Is AI really coming for your job, or is this justanother hype cycle. AI requires compute, energy, and training pipelines. Training GPT-4 level models can use ~1,000 MWh—enough to power 90 U.S. homes for a year.Investor sentiment drives valuations. Nvidia's P/E >40 vs. S&P 500 avg ~20 shows hype is baked in.Regulation: SEC disclosures require firms to report AI risks; FTC investigates deceptive AI marketing. Energy regulators flag grid strain as adoption accelerates.
Os Estados Unidos passaram anos com o consumo de eletricidade praticamente estagnado. De repente, a inteligência artificial entrou em cena e mudou este quadro. O Departamento de Energia estima que os data centers, que em 2023 já consumiam cerca de 4,4% da eletricidade do país, podem chegar a algo entre 6,7% e 12% até 2028, o que equivale a 325 a 580 TWh. É muita coisa em muito pouco tempo. O problema é que não dá para erguer uma linha de transmissão de energia como quem atualiza um aplicativo. Thiago de Aragão, analista político No operador PJM, a maior malha do país, que cobre do Meio-Atlântico ao Meio-Oeste, as projeções de carga deram um salto. O relatório de 2025 fala em crescimento médio de 3,8% ao ano no pico de inverno na próxima década, um ritmo raríssimo para padrões norte-americanos e puxado por novas cargas gigantes. Não à toa, o próprio PJM abriu um processo acelerado para criar regras específicas de conexão de megacargas, em especial data centers. É a burocracia tentando correr atrás da nuvem. A dinâmica econômica também mudou. Por anos, as Big Techs compraram certificados que comprovavam que uma certa quantidade de eletricidade foi gerada a partir de fontes renováveis, (Certificados de Energia Renovável, RECs) ou através de contratos de compra e venda virtuais ou financeiros de energia a longo prazo, em que não havia entrega física; o termo de compromisso era usado para fixar um preço da energia no mercado e garantir previsibilidade financeira. Agora, a discussão é sobre lastro: contratos longos de energia física, isso é, o comprador garante a compra de uma quantidade de energia ou a produção de um parque renovável. A Microsoft, por exemplo, assinou um contrato de compra e venda de energia elétrica (PPA na sigla em inglês) de 20 anos com a Constellation, empresa americana de produção de energia de baixo carbono, para viabilizar a retomada da usina nuclear de Three Mile Island. A Meta fechou outro contrato de 20 anos com a mesma empresa para o complexo nuclear de Clinton, em Illinois. Esses arranjos não são apenas marketing de sustentabilidade; são a forma de garantir gigawatts 24/7 para operações que não podem piscar. Nem tudo, porém, é plug and play. O caso Amazon–Talen, na Pensilvânia, em que um data center foi construído colado à usina nuclear de Susquehanna, virou novela regulatória. A FERC rejeitou duas vezes o acordo de interconexão que buscava ampliar o fornecimento direto “porta a porta”, por temores de custo e impacto na rede compartilhada. A moral da história é simples: estar perto de uma usina ajuda, mas não anula as regras sobre quem paga pelo fio. Esse recado já foi ouvido em outros estados. E quem paga, afinal? Alguns estados começaram a definir tarifas e classes específicas para hipercargas. Na Virgínia, a Dominion propôs uma categoria nova de tarifa para data centers muito grandes e, em paralelo, ganhou autorização para construir uma linha de transmissão que atende apenas um hyperscale em Alexandria. A decisão gerou protestos de bairros vizinhos e revelou o óbvio: a “nuvem” tem 230 kV e passa no quintal de alguém. Demanda real e fantasma Do lado dos planejadores, há outro nó difícil: o que é demanda real e o que é “demanda fantasma”? Com a corrida por IA, desenvolvedores entram em múltiplas filas de conexão ao mesmo tempo, muitas vezes para o mesmo projeto. O resultado é um inchaço artificial dos números que pode levar a redes superdimensionadas e depois subutilizadas, e essa conta sobra para o consumidor. O Wall Street Journal contou bem essa história dos “data centers que nem existem e já assombram a rede”. No Sul, a Georgia Power redesenhou seu plano de recursos para segurar o carvão por mais tempo, investir em baterias e gás adicional e ampliar solar, tudo com um olho atento nos data centers. É uma boa síntese do momento: a transição energética continua, mas a sequência das peças mudou por causa da IA. E a nova geração de tecnologias nucleares? Os SMRs, reatores nucleares pequenos, que prometem menor investimento inicial e maior segurança, estão no radar, mas o combustível HALEU, que tem a Rússia como a única fornecedora em escala, ainda é o gargalo. A empresa americana fornecedora de combustível nuclear, Centrus, atingiu, em junho, a marca de 900 kg produzidos, um marco histórico nos EUA. Mas o Departamento de Energia dos Estados Unidos (DOE) projeta necessidade de 50 toneladas por ano até 2035. Em outras palavras, promissor, porém não no tempo dos data centers que entram em operação entre 2026 e 2028. Até lá, o que existe de nuclear “na prateleira” é estendera a vida útil e aumentar a potência licenciada dos reatores nucleares existentes, sem construir uma nova usina. Mas existem alternativas realistas para sair desta situação. A primeira delas é a velocidade frente à governança. A rede americana foi desenhada para crescer devagar, mas a IA trouxe ritmo industrial para o setor de serviços. A resposta institucional da agência federal dos Estados Unidos responsável por regular o setor de energia elétrica, a FERC, de operadores e de comissões estaduais, é tentar casar prazos de obras civis com os ciclos de investimento da nuvem. Já o operador regional de rede elétrica PJM cria trilhos específicos para grandes cargas. E é justamente isso: admitir que data center é um bicho regulatório próprio. A segunda é a adicionalidade, e não apenas a energia “verde”. PPAs que evitam o fechamento de usinas reais, como Three Mile Island, ou que financiam extensões de licença, como o caso da Meta em Clinton, têm impacto sistêmico muito maior do que certificados genéricos. É uma virada importante: a descarbonização corporativa passa a cuidar do estoque de confiabilidade do sistema, e não apenas do saldo anual de MWh limpos. A terceira é quem paga a fiação. Tarifas especiais e obrigações de investimento para novos hiperconsumidores devem deixar de ser teoria e se transformar em prática. Contratos de conexão mais rígidos, redução ou restrição da geração de energia em horas de pico e, quando fizer sentido, contribuição direta para linhas e subestações são necessários. Sem isso, a distribuição indiscriminada dos custos gera reação política, que já começou nas audiências públicas. O quarto ponto é a eficiência e a flexibilidade. Nem todo watt de IA é igual. O treinamento de modelos pode ser agendado; a inferência, nem tanto. O setor que aprender a deslocar treinamento para janelas de baixa demanda, ou para regiões com folga, vai reduzir o capex de rede e ganhar poder de barganha regulatória. Esse é o lado B menos glamouroso da IA: software de orquestração e contratos com SLAs elétricos, que garantam que o serviço entregue cumpra padrões mínimos de qualidade e desempenho. No curto prazo, o quadro será inevitavelmente misto: um pouco mais de gás para segurar o pico, nucleares antigos monetizando sua firmeza via Big Tech, solares e baterias crescendo de escala e muita obra de transmissão. A visão de fundo, porém, é de reencaixe. A rede americana sempre foi uma grande obra pública, implicitamente financiada por toda a base de consumidores. A IA está forçando um experimento de responsabilização privada pelo lastro, e isso pode ser saudável se bem regulado. O risco, claro, é o inverso: projetar para o exagero fantasma e socializar custo demais. O sinal de alerta já aparece nas projeções do DOE, que falam em até 12% da eletricidade em 2028, e nas avaliações sazonais da NERC, a entidade responsável por garantir a confiabilidade e segurança do sistema elétrico da América do Norte, que vêm registrando aumento de risco diante de picos mais altos e usinas envelhecidas. O desafio é achar o meio-termo entre subestimar a nuvem e construir para miragens. No fim das contas, a “conta de luz da IA” chega na mesma caixa de correio que a nossa.
In March 2025, the balancing price in all of the Swedish price zones crashed to the technical floor of EUR -10,000/MWh - setting off a trend of volatile prices and turbulent balancing markets in the Nordics.Six months on, small producers and certain market actors in the region are struggling to navigate a complex system and differing responses from TSOs across the region, with many market participants calling out for change.In this episode, Richard speaks to Nordic market experts about why the changes introduced this year are proving problematic and puts important questions to the Danish TSO.Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel NewsContributor: Elias Huuhtanen - Finland Reporter, Montel NewsGuests: Kia Marie Jerichau - Vice President, Energinet Matthew Creese - Head of Market Operations for Wind and Solar, AneoPriyanka Shinde - Nordic Market Expert, Montel AnalyticsEditor: Oscar BirkProducer: Sarah Knowles

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1090: Toyota leads with heart in Texas, Redwood supercharges old EV batteries for AI, and deepfake fraud hits a chilling milestone. Show Notes with links:Following catastrophic flooding, Toyota is stepping up big for its home state, pledging over $600,000 in aid to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and various on-the-ground recovery efforts.TMNA is joining forces with Toyota Financial Services, Gulf States Toyota, Southeast Toyota, and dealers nationwide.On top of the $600K, TMNA will match contributions up to $10,000 for eligible Toyota and Lexus dealers donating to flood relief charities and will double all U.S. team member contributions directed to disaster relief.Relief includes financial assistance, donation drives, and payment relief for impacted customers.“When disasters like this occur, it's important to help our neighbors and communities in their time of need,” said TMNA CEO Ted Ogawa.Redwood Materials, led by former Tesla co-founder JB Straubel, is giving EV batteries a second life—this time fueling the AI revolution with renewable power.In the Nevada desert, Redwood built a 12 MW/63 MWh microgrid from 792 repurposed EV battery packs from automakers like Toyota, GM, and VW, which is enough to power 4,000 homes continuously for about 5 hours.The system powers an AI data center using only a 33-acre solar array—no grid connection, no permits, no backup generators.With AI data centers projected to consume 12% of U.S. electricity by 2028, second-life batteries are gaining traction as scalable, fast-to-deploy storage.Redwood expects to deliver over 5 GWh of repurposed storage capacity in the next 12 months.“You can deploy this very fast,” said Straubel. “We'll absolutely see much larger deployments of this.”(Since they are powering an ai data center…speaking of ai)A new wave of AI voice cloning fraud has hit an alarming milestone: impersonating a U.S. Secretary of State. The attack duped global leaders—and required just seconds of audio.In June 2025, a cloned voice of Marco Rubio was used to contact five officials via Signal.Victims included a U.S. governor, a member of Congress, and three foreign ministers.FBI warnings have cited a surge in AI-driven impersonation scams since April.Past heists include $243K from a UK energy firm and $35M from a UAE bank.Deepfake losses could hit $40B by 2027. Humans detect fake voices only half the time.“It's not a matter of if, but when,” security experts warn.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:22 Announcements3:05 Toyota Donates $600K To Texas Relief Efforts6:40 Redwood Materials Recycled EV Batteries Powers AI Data Centers11:26 MarcJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Salvo colpi di scena, l'OPS di Mps su Mediobanca potrebbe partire tra l'8 e il 15 luglio e chiudersi entro agosto. Dopo il parere favorevole informale della Vigilanza Bce, si attende il via libera formale per inviare il prospetto informativo alla Consob, che ha 5 giorni lavorativi per autorizzare l'offerta. Mps punta a raggiungere almeno il 66,67% del capitale di Mediobanca per ottenere il pieno controllo. L'operazione si inserisce nella strategia di rilancio di Mps, partita con la cessione del 15% da parte del Tesoro lo scorso novembre a investitori italiani, tra cui Banco Bpm, Anima, e le famiglie Del Vecchio e Caltagirone. Su questa cessione indaga ora la Procura di Milano, ipotizzando il reato di aggiotaggio, mentre la Commissione Europea valuta eventuali aiuti di Stato. Banca Akros, che ha curato il collocamento, ha respinto le accuse, difendendo la correttezza della procedura e negando esclusioni di investitori. Ne parliamo con Alberto Grassani, Il Sole 24 OreDall'escalation in Iran all'annuncio della tregua: la mano invisibile della CinaIn 48 ore, il conflitto tra Iran, Israele e Stati Uniti è passato da un attacco militare a una tregua instabile. USA e Israele hanno colpito i siti nucleari iraniani di Fordow e Natanz, spingendo Teheran a rispondere con missili contro la base americana di Al Udeid. A sorpresa, Trump ha annunciato una tregua mediata dal Qatar, ma con un ruolo chiave, secondo Plateroti, della Cina. Pechino avrebbe favorito l'intesa per tutelare i suoi interessi energetici. Tuttavia, il cessate il fuoco è già stato violato: l'Iran ha lanciato missili su Beersheba, provocando 4 morti civili, e Israele ha risposto bombardando anche il carcere di Evin a Teheran. Le parti si accusano reciprocamente di aver infranto l'accordo. La situazione a Gaza resta drammatica, con 29 civili uccisi, 19 vicino all'ospedale Al-Awda. La crisi ha scosso i mercati energetici: il Brent è sceso del 3%, il TTF europeo è salito a 42,44 euro/MWh. Gli operatori temono un blocco dello Stretto di Hormuz, da cui passa circa un terzo del greggio mondiale e il 20% del GNL. Andiamo dietro la notizia con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.ANCE: "Tanti problemi strutturali ma sul PNRR siamo più avanti di come sembra"All'assemblea ANCE di Roma si è parlato di ritardi strutturali e del “tempo giusto” per agire. Quattro i temi chiave: rigenerazione urbana, infrastrutture resilienti, rivoluzione digitale e formazione. Allarme sul disagio abitativo: il 66% dei giovani vive ancora con i genitori, 21.000 sono emigrati nel 2023. Le città universitarie offrono pochi alloggi: Roma copre solo il 18% del fabbisogno. La spesa PNRR è al 34%, ma il 60% dei cantieri è attivo o concluso. La riforma ha ridotto i tempi delle gare, ma permangono ritardi di programmazione. Il modello ferroviario è virtuoso (72% rete elettrificata), ma quello stradale è stato compromesso dai tagli ai fondi ANAS. I Comuni hanno raddoppiato gli investimenti pubblici dal 2018. Sul fronte abitativo, ANCE chiede un piano nazionale con almeno 15 miliardi su 10 anni e un'unica cabina di regia. Gli eventi climatici richiedono infrastrutture adeguate: Palermo riceve più pioggia di Londra, il Sud rischia la desertificazione. Le imprese attendono 3 miliardi di ristori dal 2022 per il caro materiali, e i pagamenti pubblici restano in media oltre i 5 mesi. Interviene Federica Brancaccio, presidente ANCE.

I mercati hanno reagito con forte volatilità all’escalation militare: le borse scendono, mentre salgono i titoli legati a difesa e energia. L’oro cresce dell’1% a 3.438 dollari l’oncia, il gas europeo sale del 5% a 38,2 /MWh. Il petrolio Wti vola a +6,5% (72,32 $), il Brent a +8,5% sopra i 75 $. Il Vix, indice della volatilità, cresce del 21%. Gli investitori temono che il conflitto possa compromettere le forniture di greggio, soprattutto se l’Iran dovesse minacciare lo Stretto di Hormuz. Al momento, nessun danno diretto agli impianti petroliferi, ma il rischio geopolitico resta alto. Affrontiamo il tema con Sissi Bellomo, Sole 24 Ore e Filippo Diodovich, Market strategist di IG.Iran e Israele. Cosa sta succedendo?Nella notte tra il 12 e il 13 giugno 2025 Israele ha lanciato l’operazione Rising Lion, colpendo obiettivi strategici in Iran, tra cui il sito nucleare di Natanz. L’azione ha coinvolto caccia, droni e forze speciali sul campo, con l’obiettivo dichiarato di fermare il programma nucleare iraniano. Almeno 78 le vittime, tra cui alti ufficiali dei Pasdaran e scienziati. Teheran ha reagito lanciando oltre 100 droni e missili contro Israele, la maggior parte dei quali è stata intercettata. Dichiarato lo stato d’emergenza in Israele, chiuso lo spazio aereo, mentre l’Iran ha chiesto una condanna formale all’ONU parlando di “atto di guerra”. Sergio Nava, Radio24.
Solar power reached its highest recorded figure on the national electricity grid in May, while overall, almost a third of electricity came from renewable sources last month, according to provisional data from EirGrid. EirGrid is responsible for operating, developing and enhancing Ireland's electricity grid and market. It balances electricity supply to customer demand in real time from the National Control Centre. 173,163 MWh (megawatt hours) of electricity was produced from grid-scale solar in May, representing 6.5% of electricity generated for the month. For context, in May 2023, 2.7% of all electricity came from solar power, accounting for 71,731 MWh of electricity. There were also a number of new peaks for grid-scale solar activity for a one-minute period, reaching 755 MW at one point on the 17th of May 2025, beating the record of 752 MW set two days earlier on the 15th of May. The previous record of 750 MW was recorded on March 24th 2025. This followed a new peak wind power record on the grid set in February. Of the 32.5% of electricity generated from renewables in May, the majority came from wind, which accounted for 22.5%, while 6.5% came from solar, and the remainder of renewable generation came from other sources, including hydro and biomass. Looking at the rest of the fuel mix, gas generation accounted for 39% of the electricity produced, with 22.8% being imported via interconnection, 4.6% coming from coal, and the remaining 1.1% from other sources. Overall electricity system demand was 2,671 GWh for May 2025, similar to 2,679 GWh in May 2024. Currently, the electricity grid can accommodate up to 75% of electricity from renewable sources at any one time: what is known as the system non-synchronous penetration (SNSP) limit. EirGrid is rolling out an unprecedented programme of grid reinforcements, upgrades and new infrastructure across the country, enabling the connection of further generation sources to maintain a secure and reliable power supply. Diarmaid Gillespie, Director of System Operations at EirGrid, said: "While onshore wind remains the prominent renewable source of electricity in Ireland, solar power has become a notable feature of the Irish power system over the last two years in particular, and we may see further records being reached over the coming summer months. We also continue to see electricity imports contributing significantly to our fuel mix in meeting electricity demand. Operating a power system with electricity generated from variable renewables such as wind and solar, mixed with conventional generation, is complex and technically very challenging. To maintain stability on the grid, EirGrid engineers need to be able to adjust to and meet fluctuating energy demand with supply at all times."

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta segunda-feira (09/06/2025): A conta de energia elétrica dos brasileiros subiu 177% em 15 anos. A tarifa saltou de R$ 112 por megawatt hora (MWh), em 2010, para R$ 310 o MWh em 2024. Nesse período, o índice de inflação foi de 122%. Assim, em termos reais (descontada a inflação), a alta chega a 45%. O valor inclui o preço da energia, acrescido das bandeiras tarifárias vigentes a cada ano, sem os encargos e o custo de distribuição e de transmissão, que encarecem ainda mais o valor final para o consumidor. Uma medida provisória editada pelo governo federal reforma o setor elétrico brasileiro e estabelece a abertura do mercado livre para todos os consumidores a partir de dezembro de 2027, o que pode conter a alta de preços.

Las borrascas de las últimas semanas parece que han ayudado a esta bajada. Itziar Fernández de la Cruz, portavoz de la OCU, y Pilar Soto, presidenta de la Asociación de Estaciones de Servicio de Aragón, explican, por ejemplo, cómo el viento y la lluvia de marzo han facilitado un fuerte descenso del precio de la electricidad, que se ha situado en 53,03 €/MWh de media.
In this episode, Melissa is joined by Monica and Michael Berg to dive deep into the ancient wisdom of Kabbalah and explore the powerful lessons it offers. From transforming the way we view the world to sparking deep internal growth, they discuss how Kabbalah provides a path to self-discovery and personal transformation. Monica shares a deeply personal story about a time when her best friend told her they needed to part ways—and the invaluable lessons that emerged from this moment of reflection. They also talk about how raising a child with Down syndrome has strengthened their relationship as both a couple and a family, teaching them the true meaning of love, growth, and appreciation. Monica and Michael share insights on how love can continue to grow with time, and why uncomfortable conversations are often the ones that reveal the most.

Net-demand energy forecasts are critical for competitive market participants, such as in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and similar markets, for several key reasons. For example, accurate forecasting helps predict when supply-demand imbalances will create price spikes or crashes, allowing traders and generators to optimize their bidding strategies. It's also important for asset optimization. Power generators need to know when to commit resources to the market and at what price levels. Poor forecasting can lead to missed profit opportunities or operating assets when prices don't cover costs. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) is now capable of producing highly accurate forecasts from the growing amount of meter and weather data that is available. The complex and robust calculations performed by these machine-learning algorithms is well beyond what human analysts are capable of, making advance forecasting systems essential to utilities. Plus, they are increasingly valuable to independent power producers (IPPs) and other energy traders making decisions about their positions in the wholesale markets. Sean Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Amperon, a company that provides AI-powered forecasting solutions, said using an Excel spreadsheet as a forecasting tool was fine back in 2005 when he got started in the business as a power trader, but that type of system no longer works adequately today. “Now, we're literally running at Amperon four to six models behind the scenes, with five different weather vendors that are running an ensemble each time,” Kelly said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. “So, as it gets more confusing, we've got to stay on top of that, and that's where machine learning really kicks in.” The consequences of being ill-prepared can be dire. Having early and accurate forecasts can mean the difference between a business surviving or failing. Effects from Winter Storm Uri offer a case in point. Normally, ERCOT wholesale prices fluctuate from about $20/MWh to $50/MWh. During Winter Storm Uri (Feb. 13–17, 2021), ERCOT set the wholesale electricity price at its cap of $9,000/MWh due to extreme demand and widespread generation failures caused by the storm. This price remained in effect for approximately 4.5 days (108 hours). This 180-fold price increase had devastating financial impacts across the Texas electricity market. The financial fallout was severe. Several retail electricity providers went bankrupt, most notably Griddy Energy, which passed the wholesale prices directly to customers, resulting in some receiving bills of more than $10,000 for just a few days of power. “Our clients were very appreciative of the work we had at Amperon,” Kelly recalled. “We probably had a dozen or so clients at that time, and we told them on February 2 that this was coming,” he said. With that early warning, Kelly said Amperon's clients were able to get out in front of the price swing and buy power at much lower rates. “Our forecasts go out 15 days, ERCOT's forecasts only go out seven,” Kelly explained. “So, we told everyone, ‘Alert! Alert! This is coming!' Dr. Mark Shipham, our in-house meteorologist, was screaming it from the rooftops. So, we had a lot of clients who bought $60 power per megawatt. So, think about buying 60s, and then your opportunity is 9,000. So, a lot of traders made money,” he said. “All LSEs—load serving entities—still got hit extremely bad, but they got hit a lot less bad,” Kelly continued. “I remember one client saying: ‘I bought power at 60, then I bought it at 90, then I bought it at 130, then I bought it at 250, because you kept telling me that load was going up and that this was getting bad.' And they're like, ‘That is the best expensive power I've ever bought. I was able to keep my company as a retail energy provider.' And, so, those are just some of the ways that these forecasts are extremely helpful.”

In this episode, Melissa sits down with Todd Anderson, an athlete turned entrepreneur, who has always been fascinated with optimizing human performance, particularly through sleep. Initially skeptical of the wellness trend of mouth taping at night, Melissa shares how everything changed once she tried it herself. Todd explains the evolutionary significance of nasal breathing, noting how most people unknowingly breathe through their mouths while sleeping. This simple shift to nasal breathing has profoundly impacted Melissa's anxiety levels, with benefits ranging from stress reduction and improved sleep to better oral health and a more defined jawline. They discuss Dream Recovery, the best quality tape for optimal results and skin protection, designed to make the practice of mouth taping more accessible—even for those who find it nerve-wracking.
