Ukraine’s Largest Announced Private Battery Project Takes Shape With Chinese Partner
Ukraine’s energy sector is set to gain what has been described as the largest private storage project announced for 2026: a 200 MWh battery system paired with up to 100 MW of new solar capacity, born from a deal between domestic developer Askania Energy and Chinese equipment maker Risen Energy. The two companies signed a […]
Grid 2.0 Protocol Aims to Fast-Track Flexible Energy Connections
A team of energy industry engineers has released a voluntary draft protocol designed to speed up the connection of new generation and flexible loads to the power grid, separating grid access from the slow, reliability-driven planning processes that have long bottlenecked clean energy deployment. The effort is led by Chris Shelton, a senior vice president […]
Banks Won’t Finance Green Hydrogen Without a Captive Customer
Europe’s decarbonization ambitions have not made green hydrogen bankable. Weak real demand and persistent unprofitability form a structural barrier that policy targets alone cannot remove — and lenders have not moved. The Port of Antwerp-Bruges recently installed a 0.5 MW anion exchange membrane electrolyzer supplied by Power to Hydrogen, producing high-purity hydrogen for actual industrial […]
Solar Reaches 3 Terawatts as Grid Bottlenecks Replace Factory Constraints
Global photovoltaic capacity has crossed the 3-terawatt mark, a milestone that illustrates how sharply the pace of solar deployment has accelerated. BloombergNEF analysis shows the industry needed roughly a decade to advance from 100 GW in 2012 to its first terawatt. The second followed in under three years; the third arrived less than two years […]
