Global energy transition investment hit $2.3 trillion in 2025. But capital is concentrating in data centers and a few large managers, leaving most clean energy deals competing for less.

Congestion costs in PJM topped $3 billion in 2025 and may double again this year — and those costs show up directly in electricity bills. Dynamic line ratings won't solve the underlying infrastructure gap, but they can take a meaningful bite out of congestion while the grid expansion the country needs catches up. The problem is that most regulators don't yet understand how.

Billion Watts and Enervest are developing smaller battery sites across NSW and Victoria. The portfolio targets local grid support, storage revenues and resilience.

DOE selected Duke Energy for up to $96 million in federal funding for reliability upgrades at coal-fired power plants in Kentucky and North Carolina across three sites.
