Building energy models were calibrated against climate conditions that no longer exist. Facilities leaders need to understand what that means for efficiency projections and equipment design.

California's geothermal planning bill AB 526 died in Appropriations in 2025. A companion CEQA bill was vetoed. Here is where California's in-state geothermal strategy stands now.

The arithmetic of corporate energy efficiency has stopped working for a growing number of technology-intensive companies.

School districts are expanding solar projects beyond pilot phases. By pairing generation with efficiency upgrades, they aim to cut costs and emissions.

Minnesota SF4504 would allow customers to install small plug-in solar devices without utility interconnection agreements, fees, or approval. Here is what the provision covers.

Corporate budgets are forcing a choice between efficiency upgrades and resilience investments. What operations leaders need to understand before Q3 capital planning.

Efficiency upgrades in commercial buildings are delivering diminishing returns. What facility managers need to know about the economics and what to prioritize next.

California’s $20M Project Nexus has completed construction on the first U.S. solar-covered irrigation canal, measuring water savings, power generation, and maintenance cost reductions simultaneously.

Verdantix research shows corporate off-site renewable spend growing 34% through 2030. The gap between signing PPAs and managing them is where financial exposure quietly accumulates.

AI infrastructure build-out is running into a constraint capital can't solve: the grid can't deliver megawatts as fast as investment wants to move.

Uranium demand is rising, but supply remains slow to respond. A Saskatchewan project is testing whether faster development can help close the gap.

Virginia enacted SB508 April 22, directing Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power to assess unused solar interconnection capacity and pilot storage programs.

Sustainability-linked bonds tied to electrification milestones assume the borrower controls the timeline. Grid access constraints are proving that assumption wrong in a growing number of cases.

Home batteries are now earning income by supplying energy to the grid during peak demand. Programs in Maine highlight their growing role in grid stability.

Environmental groups and lawmakers are challenging the Trump administration's offshore wind lease buyout deals, citing clean energy setbacks, job losses, and unresolved legal questions.

For facilities under grid pressure, on-site generation is no longer primarily a sustainability play. It's the clearest available tool for managing operational risk.

Location decisions that once turned on labor and logistics now carry an energy access dimension most companies aren't modeling. The organizations finding out mid-project are paying for it.

A new USGS tool shows where U.S. water supply and demand collide. It gives planners clearer data to assess risk and guide infrastructure decisions.

A major convention center doubled solar output without expanding space. Thousands of retired panels were reused, cutting waste and supporting local users.

Connecticut's PURA approved a 14% residential rate decrease for Eversource and United Illuminating customers effective May 1, driven by nuclear contract savings and lower public benefits charges.
