Corporate power purchase agreements, on-site solar, and battery storage are moving from pilot projects to standard practice across the region’s building sector. What has not caught up is uniformity. For most of the past three decades, power procurement across South East Asia ran through a single channel: a state-owned utility signing long-term contracts with independent power producers, mostly for coal and gas. That structure delivered grid buildout at scale, but it left little room for a corporate buyer to simply choose a renewable supplier. The shift now underway, allowing companies to contract more directly with renewable generators, is a genuinely new development, and it is unfolding at different speeds in every market.

The ENTSO-E and WindEurope, jointly released the Technical Group on Forced Oscillations Report, to provide technical guidance on the proposed forced oscillation requirements introduced in the draft NC RfG 2.0. Although the report is non-binding, it is intended to form the technical basis for a future implementation guidance document after the EC formally adopts the revised network code. The report primarily focuses on wind power plants, although future requirements will also apply to other inverter-based power park modules, including solar photovoltaic plants and battery energy storage systems. As Europe moves towards an increasingly inverter-based power system, the report provides a practical framework for managing forced oscillations while highlighting the need for continued research and collaboration.

The brief suggests that to deliver the government’s mission for greater control over energy markets and industry, GBE must meet three conditions: build institutional capacity aligned with its ambition to establish a world-leading energy company by 2026, focus its resources on areas of highest impact in the first two years and demonstrate delivery in key areas to ensure its projects reduce energy bills for communities, build strong supply chains and support local jobs by 2028 and establish financial credibility to be in a strong position to scale its impact by 2030.

Total U.S. electricity demand will increase 21% by 2030 and 39% by 2035 from 2026 levels. But the real story is regional. Electricity demand is rising in every region of the U.S., but not at the same pace. Regions with the strongest data center activity, industrial expansion, and electrification are expected to see the greatest increases in both total electricity demand and peak demand through 2035.

India’s battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales have grown rapidly, with a compound annual growth rate of 62.5% from fiscal year (FY) 2019–20 to FY 2024–25. Yet this growth has not been matched by growth in domestic battery manufacturing and India’s battery cell demand is currently met almost entirely through imports. As BEV adoption accelerates further, battery imports may continue to grow if local battery manufacturing supply chains remain inadequate, even as reliance on imported petrol and diesel declines.

Sodium-ion batteries, as a solution for grid-scale storage demands, have spent the better part of a decade described, roughly, as “promising.” It’s a word that’s covered for a lot of unfinished progress and has become somewhat of a warning sign to anyone in this industry trying to separate emerging technologies from commercially ready ones. The technology has moved beyond the stage where the primary questions are whether the chemistry works or whether it can be manufactured at scale. What’s changing quickly right now, though, is sodium-ion is being evaluated against the same practical criteria as other commercial storage technologies: performance, safety, manufacturability, supply-chain resilience, lifecycle economics, and the ability to deploy at meaningful scale.
