Ireland's CRU now requires data center developers to prove a credible renewable energy plan before connecting, replacing a broad regional grid approach.
North Carolina approved $244 million for water projects after receiving $1.6 billion in requests, showing the gap between infrastructure needs and funding.
The Center for Rural Affairs is suing the United States after EPA terminated its $62.45 million Solar for All grant following a repeal of IRA funding.
Stryten plans to acquire C&D Technologies and Trojan Battery. The new deal would expand U.S. production and reach across mobility, data center and backup power.
A Bridge Michigan investigation found 100,000 residents live downstream of deteriorating dams, a pattern repeating in states across the country.
Africa's transmission networks are falling behind power demand, renewable generation, and the industrial corridors governments hope to develop.
Syngenta and Groundwork BioAg are pairing fungal crop inputs with soil carbon programs. Farmers could gain soil benefits and fresh revenues from carbon credits.
India's electricity demand is outpacing transmission buildout, creating grid connection risk for manufacturers evaluating the country for new facilities.
Airengy and Nobian are studying a Danish salt cavern for energy storage. The project could store 2.5 GWh and supply 3 MW to 10 MW over long periods when needed.
Vietnam and Malaysia are expanding transmission capacity in anticipation of future semiconductor demand, treating grid readiness as industrial strategy.
HydroGraph’s new graphene paste aims to ease dispersion challenges. The water-based concentrate targets coatings, concrete, thermal systems and rubber.
Colorado's Local IMPACT Accelerator is funding all-electric building codes in six jurisdictions, each required to exceed the newly adopted statewide MLECC.
Europe’s renewable boom is exposing gaps in grid flexibility. Pumped storage is gaining attention as negative prices, heat and curtailment rise.
Power constraints can delay facility openings, increase carrying costs, and force expensive temporary power investments that reshape project economics for CFOs.
Data centers are absorbing grid capacity that manufacturers need for expansion, forcing executives to treat power access as a site selection variable.
Curtailment orders, discharge limits, and insurance exposure are the water liabilities confronting industrial operations already built and operating in stressed basins.
Chain length may shape how PFAS move through water and respond to treatment. For utilities, that means monitoring and removal strategies need sharper focus.
California’s SB 343 update gives cartons fresh labeling clarity. New MRF data shows stronger sortation, but recovery work remains.
PJM has issued multiple grid reliability alerts as extreme heat pushes electricity demand toward a potential summer record across the Mid-Atlantic.
Infrastructure constraints on power, water and permits are structural, not cyclical. Executives still planning around their resolution are planning for an environment that doesn't exist.
