Federal permitting blocked 11 GW of clean energy in one year. The interconnection queue holds 2,060 GW more. Operations teams with project-tied energy timelines carry direct exposure.
Sustainability teams must now report the same data through CSRD, IFRS S1 and S2, CDP, and GRI at once. Software providers are splitting into two distinct categories to keep up.
Billion Watts and Enervest are developing smaller battery sites across NSW and Victoria. The portfolio targets local grid support, storage revenues and resilience.
Clean energy project finance credit standards shifted in 2025 and 2026. Companies with infrastructure commitments built on older assumptions are running into those changes now.
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline is 80 percent complete, with first oil exports targeted for October. The final river and wetland crossings now underway are, by the project's own assessments, the most ecologically consequential phase — and the damage, once done, cannot be undone.
M-44 cyanide devices are back in the predator-control debate. For land managers, the issue now spans safety, liability, pets and endangered wildlife.

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.
Red Metals is investing $70 million in a North Charleston copper rod plant launching Q4 2026, targeting shorter lead times for electrical infrastructure and advanced manufacturing buyers.
Permitting delays are stranding pre-development capital and driving carry costs higher. CFOs evaluating energy and infrastructure projects need to treat permitting uncertainty as a front-end financial risk.
Steel, copper, and grid material costs have reset project economics across clean energy and infrastructure. Finance teams holding 2022-era models need to close the gap before H2 capital decisions land.
ISO 14001 is getting its most significant update in a decade, with new requirements effective April 2026 and a compliance deadline of April 2029. The changes are more complex than they appear — and organizations that wait to start preparing will feel it.
A power purchase agreement (PPA) lets companies buy renewable energy directly from a generator at a fixed price. Here's how they work, who they're right for, and what to watch out for.
